I sometimes envy you guys in the States. No deals like that here. But I was impressed that taking exchange rate into account my GT PP is a bit cheaper than over there. Don't know how Ford NZ swung that.

It can be expensive to wait a year. And, it's what warranties are for

Exactly what I was thinking. Steering response is still pretty damn good with 40's

Terribly Variable Reliability.

OK, I was also thinking of the old mechanics tale of cars running better in fog. They sure felt peppier.

Having had 245/35-20 on another car, I'm concerned that going to a 30 or 35% sidewall would be too harsh. The non magneride susp is borderline now for use around town. We don't have the smoothest roads in the world. What thoughts?

I only use Mobil or Castrol full synth long life in all our cars. And, seeing we've sold two to friends I know I've done my best by them.

Jeez, you must have long fingers.

The inflater/sealer kit in our rental Peugeot was crap. Now I carry my bike sealer kit in the car. It's got what is known as dog turds that you coat in sealer and insert into the puncture with the applicator tool. It also has CO2 cartridges, but they are for bike tyres you'd need a few for a...

Literally anything. Stuff from the 60's through to the 2000's. Rock, pop, progressive, folk, a tiny bit of country, a tinier bit of rap crap (Linkin park, Eminem), classic Italian pop. I'm a music slut. BTW Why the hell does Spotify select half a dozen songs on a playlist of hundreds and keep...

You've got clam? Has your wife seen it? How do you get it?

I think it was true back in the day, and Monday/Friday cars.

I always thought humidity was a power increaser. Denser air, increased mixture cooling from the water in the same way water injection works.

Well maybe a chunk of it, not 51% I wouldn't think.

You can run TMG with JBV1 for jamming needs. I can't vouch for the system personally, but many JBV1 users run it. And we're very spoilt and picky with CM's

Stop/start can actually be dangerous. My wife's last car had some turbo lag off idle, DSG programmed to get into second gear as soon as you get rolling, which accentuated the lag, and adding stop/start to that was lethal trying to take gap in roundabout traffic. We could turn off stop/start...

Lots of Steeda susp parts now fitted.

Jammers are the answer to Lidar. It's funny as hell when the cop keeps getting ERR on his display and can't work it out. Then the buggers made them illegal here.

FWIW I checked mine on the weekend, no change in 3000km

Maintainers are the dogs nuts. My bike was on a maintainer whenever I wasn't riding it. When I sold it in '23 the battery was the original - 9 years old and still turning it over fine.
