The comments in the debate about "boy racers" (an infuriating term if ever there was one) seem entirely irrelevant to this issue in a way. That's a police matter. Driving standard are something should be managed by effective roads policing, whether a car is standard or not.

But isn't that the purpose of legislation? Those who have stupidly loud exhausts, or drive like nobs, can be dealt with either by the police, or by MoT tests. We don't need blanket bans on modifying, or heavy-handed legislation that dramatically impacts individuals or businesses. I think the...

Hopefully that will bring a bit of a sense to the whole thing. It's a massive industry in the UK, so hopefully there will be some desire to protect it.

Ridiculous really. It could end up with a scenario where fitting 2k's worth of coilover is against the law, while it remains fine to fit cheap aftermarket parts that are "OE spec" when, in reality, they're s**t quality Chinese junk that will fail after a few months. Even the exhaust thing...

Looks decent that. Not the most exciting car on the planet, but looks smart and I bet it eats miles like nobody's business. Had an A6 as a rental a couple of years ago and liked it.

So it seems the poor Twingo has met it's end. I sold it last September, just before I emigrated, but it has since been sold again by the sounds of it. Anyway, my mate (the guy I bought it from) sent me this picture earlier. No one hurt at least. Bye bye Twingo.

I do like the current Charger and Challenger. Really good looking cars in the right spec.

I mean obviously it would be pretty expensive to run in the UK, but I'd still have one if I had the money. Drove one a few years ago and they're brilliant. I don't care about the image, I buy cars for me, not other people. They're totally pointless and over-the-top, but full of character.

You're both weird. The AMG version is awesome.

964 out of those for me I think. I never thought the Enzo looked very good to be honest.

Trophy will always be top of the pile price wise, as it's the one people always go on about. 172 Cup will be second. Some of the regular ones in rare/desirable colours will fetch more than other colours, but colour alone won't be enough to make them as valuable as the special models.

Yeah S1600. Would look fine with the right wheels.

Pista: Modified R35 GTR:

Huge improvement. The standard 200 wheels are really not good. Just needs the splitter put back to standard now :LOL:

I like the red blade, would definitely keep it

Wish I'd bought one when they were so cheap. I know it's not a GTR, but still lovely with the right modifications on them. With Americans falling over themselves to import them, prices will keep going up sadly. There can't be that many good ones left in Japan now. I watched a video by Sammit...

Had Assymetrics on my last Clio. Good tyres in my view. A Michelin might be a couple of percent better but, on a road car, you're probably not going to notice in reality.

That's lovely. The S15 is such a good looking car. I've been looking at Japanese cars from this era recently. It's mad how the prices have gone in the last few years. I remember R33 GTS-Ts for about 4k, S14s starting at 3k, S13s for about 1k. We have the Americans to thank I guess though.

Fair play to Harris and Edward Lovett with Collecting Cars. I bet they are making decent money out of that site now. Some of the prices for cars on there are pretty nuts.

FoB are a very different organisation to Renault UK. However, while there are big differences, the point stands that a well-managed heritage fleet can be an asset, rather than just a cost centre. It makes sense for someone like Renault to keep the majority of their heritage vehicles in France...

There's definitely value in that sort of thing. Ford make/made their heritage vehicles available to dealers for events and, like you, an interesting older car would definitely pull me into a showroom. Their cars are also used for TV productions and the like. A heritage fleet doesn't have to be...

Heritage fleets are strange things. I used to work with Ford and dealt with the guys running the heritage fleet quite regularly. How well funded it is, and how high a priority it is was basically the whim of the senior management. If you had a big boss who was interested, then they were looked...

It's sad how some manufacturers are throwing away strong brands so casually. Renault Sport was a way stronger brand than Alpine, so it was a strange move in my opinion.

Enjoyed that podcast. Didn't realise Scotto had done so much. You don't really think of it when he's floating around in Hoonigan videos.

Photoshop isn't really the issue I suppose, as anything that will cope with video editing will cope with what I'm likely to do on PS I guess.

Needs to be a laptop, as I want to stay mobile.

The hard drive in my laptop seems to have cried enough and, as it's old and pretty crap anyway, I think it's probably time to buy something new. I've started to do a bit of video stuff recently, so I want something that can cope with video editing, and some Photoshop too, as I'd like to get...

Yeah it's amazing how some content/people just catch the right moment. I posted a video about the GR Yaris and it got orders of magnitude more views than anything I've posted before, just because I posted it when a lot of the reviews were coming out.

That's pretty impressive. It's mad how some content just takes off like that. Nice work. You'll be shmee before you know it (you poor b*****d).
