    Vauxhall VX220s

    That's because Lotus made them. The only thing Vauxhall is the engine, which isn't a bad power unit apparently. Although ecotech exhaust gas recycling systems can be a PITA.
  2. No official images have emerged but our exclusive render shows what the eagerly awaited Supra could look like Nonsense made up news story to get attention. It was reported recently it wouldn't actually use the FT1 design wasn't it?

    I really like that. It reminds me of a matchbox car for some reason.
  4. Wow - what a lot of TV producers, directors, critics and personality coaches we have in this thread. I feel for Chris and think his comments are spot on. He was a square peg trying to fit a round hole and no matter what he did people were going to hate him. IMHO it was just starting to take shape and settle down, I enjoyed the episodes nether-less.

    Glad to see someone else on here gets it. Notice how whenever it is brought up people seem to ignore it?

    Vauxhall VX220s

    I too have been looking out and noticed recently the prices seems to have gone up slightly. Of a certain age they all seem to be around £15k-20k now. Not so many of them available for sale either? VX220 - I'd feel like the poor mans Elise every time I got in it. Newer Elise with the Toyota engine would be my choice.

    It's not ready. Ill thought out and technically flawed. I'm sure it reads fine to anyone that doesn't understand the Internet or computers - but for those of us that do, it's a melting pot of disaster. For instance. ISPs have to collect data on EVERYTHING you look at online. All your communications. Personally and your business. Where do they keep this data so it's safe? TalkTalk are great at that. Expect lots of industrial espionage, black mailing and other such joys. Then any government agency can access this data - even the environmental agencies can have access to anything about you. It will mean censorship in the extreme. Anything 'they' (whoever is employed in that position) deem unsuitable can be blocked online. With all these systems the Internet will slowdown. The ISPs will pass on the MASSIVE infrastructure bills to their customers - you and me. If someone hacks into your computer or network and starts doing illegal activity - that goes against YOUR account. How will you prove you didn't do it? I encourage everyone to read up on the Snoopers Charter, it is unfit for purpose as it currently is being pushed through.

    He did the loud shouty Scottish thing really well at the end though. Felt like Braveheart all over again.

    As amusing as he was today, it's made me slightly embarrassed to be British when I think the world will be watching that sound bite.
  10. I thought that was the '97 Anniversary model (like Brad has). I should get some of those stickers for mine, it'll add £500 to the value.

    No worse than a probable 90% of voters that rely on headlines, their favourite reality tv 'star' or social network posts to form an opinion.
  12. It had a small incident with a hay bale today. https://www.facebook.com/festivalofspeed/videos/1139674289409891/

  14. This is at Goodwood FoS this weekend, there should be a few vids of it going up the hill climb over the weekend - it looked almighty earlier on the live feed! https://www.goodwood.com/grrc/event-coverage/festival-of-speed/2016/6/is-this-lancia-the-ultimate-wild-child/

    "Petition for London independence signed by thousands after Brexit vote" That's hilarious! My suggestion of us going back to independent counties wasn't far from it then!?

    Didn't see that coming. What's the chance that with N.Ireland stepping up their thoughts on independence again we'll not have to worry about the religious nutters blowing us up, it'll be them again? I wouldn't want to be Welsh right now. Goodbye EU grants and recent investment good times.
  19. Been a while since I've seen a pancake run into Wales.
  20. The red stuff has something in it to prevent reaction with aluminium I think. That's the important bit. Toyota will always recommend their own stuff like most car manufacturers.

    Wishful thinking.
