Valves aren't leaking? Done the spit test?

Track all the time. Same in our other cars, I like speed and revs up front.

What I think accentuates it is the raised styling lines either side of the hood that are in your peripheral vision. It looks like they are the edge of the hood that is moving

100 - 200kmh in 10.1 with only 446hp. Then our cars with 40hp more would be sub 10 secs which is not hanging around. BTW. I think the car's really a '24.

I was quite impressed with my dealer. I asked them to physically check trans oil level, the Tech said he'd not seen one low out of quite a few Mustangs they'd done. So I said don't bother if they don't think it's needed. Then they did it anyway. All's well. I'd asked for the car at 12, it was...

I must be lucky with mine. The dealer did both our cars, they did a good job of paint correction, the product is holding up fine. And the woman running that dept sounded fanatical about detailing cars. I do have a contact for an independant detailer if needed and I'll probably use him for a redo...

Bump steer is when the wheels deflect laterally as the suspension moves through its travel. Tramlining is great fun on a bike....not!

That got me thinking. In 13 years and 4 out of 5 cars not having a spare, I've not been stranded by a flat tyre. We've had two tyres ruined on a Toyota due to objects puncturing them in non repairable places. We were able to get them sorted without leaving us carless. And a nail in her current...

Hell yes. The number of bikes that are dropped after a tyre change is amazing. A smidgeon too much throttle leaving the tyre shop often ends in tears.

I was sceptical about ceramics, then when we bought my wifes car she suggested getting it coated. I'm a convert now. 3 years on it still looks like new. I wash it about every 3 weeks, foam spray, hand wash, blower dry followed by towel dry. It lives in a carport, always gets used when it rains...

Yeah but, changing CD's when you're alone? Having to listen to all the songs instead of your favourites? Where to store 10 CD holder thingies? BTW, I'm impressed with Spotify lossless through both our cars systems

It's a pretty dumb system that doesn't read battery voltage.

I'd go PP just for the Brembos, I love powerful brakes.

Both. Live a little. BTW. As far as age and the ability to drive a manual goes. Go to Italy and see how many wrinklies have manual cars. Most of them. There are also a surprising number of manual rentals too. I was also surprised at how natural it felt to shift with my right hand.

Personally speaking, I don't consider EV's to be cars. Sustainable transport if you will. I wouldn't race one under 160kmh in the same way sensible car drivers don't take on bikes.

Yep used splitfire, I thought they were rubbish. I went back to iridium.

Break in is not about tolerances in things such as bearings. That went out with babbit bearings. It's about correctly wearing in the rings to provide optimum sealing and oil control. The hard break in BS started from race engineers who don't have time to break in over 1500kms when they have a...

Like bashing your head against a wall? Feels great when you stop.

Two new cars I bought involved a flight to get them and an 750km trip home. But I made a point of accelerating then engine braking every so often to work the rings and get oil into them. They were fine. With other cars I just drove normally with the occasional run up to two thirds of redline for...

Induction hobs use electrcity, and they're as quick as gas.
