My wife wants to get a dog soon, one of those rats on strings or handbag doggo. I guess it's going to come in the car with us, just because.......... I might buy her one of those baby packs women use to carry babies hanging in front, should work for a dog. For sure, it's going to be very...

Has anyone had this warning with a battery tender hooked up to the battery itself?

Nice matching Porsche - yours too? I would have liked red Brembos on mine. I have seen a Vespa in Grabber Blue, I could use that as a town runabout, but not at $12000 for a scooter.

Manufacturers say it does no harm, I'm not convinced. They've probably upgraded the starter etc, but there is still a lot of extra load on the ring gear and pinion. There's an argument that constant starting from zero oil pressure is not good. But that seems to ignore that fact that oil film...

Whenever I've nailed it to overtake from around 80 - 100kmh up to 160 plus, I've never had wheelspin on a dry road. AT.

Why not ceramics, if I may ask? I used to use Meguiars, but it seems that's not highly regarded among the seroius detailing crowd.

Begone Satan, get thee behind me.

OK, I was kidding actually. My wife is similar, we discuss every purchase except cosmetics, clothes and hair stuff ( for her) and I don't want to know anyway. It'd probably be worth more than a Whipple every year. When I mentioned buying the Mustang she jumped at it. Probably fondly remembering...

The reason I avoid spacers is because they shift the load path on the wheel bearings, and disrupt steering geometry to a greater or lesser degree. Unless they are used to correct a wrong offset in a wheel.

Sport and Track modes are very much more responsive than normal. That's why I'm seeing which I like best. Paddles are probably better in that I can choose the gear I want. BTW, your toggles are usually called paddles for some reason. Probably Clarkson started it when he called them flappy...

Why do you want that much offset? There are downsides to spacers that get worse the wider they are.

How long, or how many times have you been married? They have the VAG veto, never forget it.

Both paddles or sport mode will do the job. I haven't decided which I prefer for overtaking yet.

That's amazing, my record was 12 years with an MX5. Mind you, the gearbox was the only original mechanical part left.

I have to admit I do the same. Any excuse to drive the thing.

The owner should be shot. Then given a severe talking to.

That car looks phenominal in the European setting for some reason. Doesn't it make the Audi look plain? It makes me very glad I grabbed the Grabber Blue car.

I'm not sure what you're saying here. Did you have an oil temp gauge in that car, or any other way of reading oil temp? When that car was running at normal temps again, surely the oil would have been hotter too , probably over 212F and evaporating water and volatile contaminants?

Yeah, spending half as much twice as often is a real saving :wink:

That's true, camber can cause edge wear on outside and inside edges. But the point is that it's not the only cause. Suspension geometry is a fascinating subject, so much is interrelated. A good suspension Tech is worth his weight in tyres. Another factor is the driver, if someone drives hard on...
