    Watching thos laps genuinely scares me. The pace at which they get round the lap is frightening.

    Michelin pilot 4 tyres, any good in the wet ?

    Mine? PS4. I can't get the S in a size that fits my standard rims. I understand the S to be like the non S, but with some actual sidewall structure. That's the only minor downside that I can find to the PS4. Soft and squidgy, especially on track. On the road though, they're epic. Super comfy.

    Michelin pilot 4 tyres, any good in the wet ?

    Unless I'm really sharp on the throttle, on my M140i the PS4 tyres stay hooked the entire way through second gear. They're mightily impressive in the wet. I honestly have no idea how they can do that, they seem to have almost as much grip in the wet as they do in the dry. I've not done a wet...

    Mini VHS to Digital

    Here you go, I used a version of this about a decade ago; https://www.roxio.com/en/products/easy-vhs-to-dvd/standard/?gclid=Cj0KCQiAhZT9BRDmARIsAN2E-J3yhz-Vbma1IC7WrqPImTiB_rRTvk8iyKquQkbZ0Hnbd0ndT-G0lV8aAtiQEALw_wcB

    Mini VHS to Digital

    I used something from Roxio to digitise a load of old tapes I had. IIRC or was a scart lead to FireWire or something like that plus the software, so had to run everything through our old VCR.

    Next installment was good. Great octane based banter.

    1 owner clio cup 172 -21k miles - whats it worth

    I rarely feel genuine envy, but right now, I'm feeling it very very strongly. That's lovely. Please share 100s and 100s of pictures so I can reminisce and rue the day I ever let mine go and/or ruined it beforehand.

    MarkCup's BMW M140i

    Balls. When I originally saw this I downloaded it with the intention of using it in my latest video re. mods, but it went live today and I completley forgot! Ah well, I'll sneak it into another one at some point. So, I've been in this thing for two years now...and still have zero desire to...

    The New Phone Thread

    For what it's worth, 4A is basically a 2XL, almost exact same screen size, but in a much smaller chassis. Battery easily outlasts the 2XL, and otherwise the user experience is identical. Camera, as it was before, seems incapable of taking a bad picture. Google's image processing delivers 👍

    My rear fingerprint sensor Pixel 4A is unlocked even before I've started removing it from my pocket. Just sayin'.

    I owned my 03 reg 172 Cup from new for 8 years and 125k miles. I owned my 09 reg 200 for 18 months and 24k miles. That sums up my thoughts on the mk2 v mk3.

    That poor clutch, that uncontrolled weight transfer, the mind boggles!

    Punchier brakes

    If your current setup has enough bite and power to lock the wheels, no, you won't stop any quicker. You can only stop as quickly as the limiting factor allows, and that limiting factor is the grip the tyres have. Modifications will change pedal feel, bite, temperature response, and endurance.

    Ii disagree and I'd say you're doing it wrong. I've got our entire family history within Google Photos. Everything we snap gets uploaded. It's all there, accessible from any device. Admittedly the early pics were stored locally when digital cameras were the only way and before phone cameras...

    MarkCup's BMW M140i

    Genuinely, image is of zero concern, and if anything, I much prefer the anonymous 116d look. When I specced my RS, I went for an unusual colour/wheel combination for that exact purpose, I'm not someone that feels a need to be noticed! Will it be a classic? I've no idea. I think it will be...

    MarkCup's BMW M140i

    If I had that and drove it regularly it would cost a fortune! At least with this I can daily it, track it, compete in it, and all without giving too many f***s. It's a complete all-rounder, not much bigger than my Fiesta ST (quite a bit heavier though, granted) but with 360bhp/400lbsft, and an...

    MarkCup's BMW M140i

    One week from now I said farewell to the RS 2 years ago! In advance of a 2 year review, I've given thought to the future with this thing and can see no reason whatsoever to change it for anything else. Ever.

    MarkCup's BMW M140i

    That was a cheap crappy GoPro Hero mounted above the tailpipe on a towhook mount. I've been pleasantly surprised with jow well they seem to deal with any wind noise, and what they pick up exhaust noise wise does sound good. Agreed on the track action, braking is 100% my focus next time out, I...

    My Impreza mistake

    Thirded. That doesn't work. I don't think I've ever seen an aftermarket 'diffuser' that doesn't look cheap and tacky. Mostly because they do little or no diffusing whatsoever. They're not much more than a bumper trim really. Lovely car though. I've a new found love and respect for Imprezas.

    Standard Focus RS worth some Mountune engine tweaks giving it almost identical power to mine. The pictures don't really show just how small the little 1 series is, it's dwarfed by the Focus!

    CG Lock screws

    No wear on the seatbelt that I've ever noticed, and the only the tiniest witness marks on the seatbelt 'tongue' that you attach it to. Also, the weight means it can be too heavy for the seatbelt to retract itself...which is a good thing, because if it's not then it'll fly back up toward your...

    CG Lock screws

    Yep. I'd happily drive with it every time I go out but it's a large heavy chunk of metal that I've found, in cars in the past, will happily bash chunks out of cheap plastic trim panels it connects with.

    CG Lock screws

    I look forward to hearing if they're right or not. I lost one from my CG-Lock probably 10 years ago now. I've used it ever since with just the one screw!
