Agreed, my original choice was blue until I got so impatient I couldn't wait!

Well, unless you could insure the hassle factor of a non-like-for-like replacement...you're stuck! Until such a policy is offered (maybe there's an opening here for Apple?) it's the hardware only you are insuring and a 5C is close enough to a 5 for the insurance companies to effectively say...

Why should you get a phone with a better spec to replace the one you lost? In car terms, that would be like claiming for the loss of a Focus ST and demanding instead a newly released Focus RS as that is now top of the range. Yeah right, you think insurance works that way? It exists to put you...

That's not different though...it's the same as 90% of the other DMB-addicted ST owners out there with non-standard badges. Would have been more individual if you left them as Henry intended.

Dab of oppo yet?

I can't comment really Gally as whilst I do encounter a fair bit of standing water on my commute, it tends to be at 40mph or less. At that speed, as things currently stand, they're adequate...I wouldn't be too keen to plough through deep puddles at twice that speed though. Apart from that...

Tyre tread depths are currently; 2x 2.1mm 2x 2.6mm I'm seriously impressed with these Bridgestone RE050 tyres...this is after 16,000 miles and one very hot mid-summer Goodwood trackday. I should see 17,000, maybe 17,500 out of a set.

As there's a lot of interest in the little Fiesta right now here's a cost of ownership update. There's been an addition to the repair costs this weekend, £19.02 for a touch up kit as I now have the mother of all stone chips right on the leading edge of the bonnet. Grrr.

Ha ha ha, this is getting ridiculous now! I've still only seen two others on the road though in 16k miles.

Are you going to replace the silver badges with some nice tasteful gold ones to compliment your theme?

Brilliant choice that!

Not me, I was sat in a meeting desperately trying to stay interested.

Excellent news...pics and thoughts required once you've finished boo(s)ting it everywhere!

Looks nice that. It's due a cambelt soon unless it's just been done...did it come with any proof of when it was last changed?

Nice sound Malice!

I view it simply as this... Mazda pulls out on Lambo doing 30 mph, Lambo stops, driver curses/hand gestures, everyone continues on their way unbent. Mazda pulls out on Lambo doing a speed well in excess of the limit, big airborne supercar pinball incident. The Mazda did nothing differently in...

Nice bike but LOL at the plate...that's a 5-0 magnet right there. Riding bikes? Treat every other road user as if their absolute intention is to knock you off, plan accordingly, and you'll be fine.

So the Fiesta ST and m135i are sheds are they? Regardless, versus running around in a 13 year old shed and all the sh*t that comes with it I'd happily pay £250 a month every single time.

This colour combo or black with silver wheels work the best. Very nice!

It's stayed pretty constant despite me giving it more of a bootfull far more of the time, so I'd say it's improved it... It's more efficient at lower throttle openings and lower revs thanks to the extra boost.

Three weeks?!?!?!? Ouch. It will be worth it though.

Brilliant and sad in equal measure! The bit that particularly resonates with me is those who seem insistent on exhibiting their 'mazin photography skills with a load of stupidly angled moody shots that don't let you see the car as a whole. Idiots.

Nice one Waitey. There's obviously a margin of error in there...but I doubt your calculation is over the top by 66% which it would have to be if he was doing only 30mph. This is why I like threads like this...opens the mind up to different ways of looking at and thinking about things!

You didn't listen to the audio then? You couldn't hear its rapid rate of deceleration? You don't think you can form an educated and reasonable opinion of how much speed/energy the Lambo was carrying based on the way that after it had decelerated it still had enough energy to launch itself into...

Then the low cost has meant they've fallen into the hands of some real pellets then. Had a total idiot perform some ridiculous moves behind me a few days back in an effort to gain a few places in a lengthy queue of 20 cars behind a tractor. Lots of hand gestures and light flashing from him LOL

But it's not that black and white though, is it? If the Lambo driver was doing 100 mph would the Mazda driver still be at fault? Is it reasonable to expect a car to be doing that sort of speed when the limit is, and you are checking for cars doing, 20-30 mph? If you have to expect vehicles...

Do any other current registration one series come with twin pipes exactly the same as the m135i or are they unique to the model?

Yes, Race and Performance. Race isn't warranty friendly, Performance is.

Yep. If the Mazda is deemed at fault at what speed would the Lambo have to be traveling for it not to be at fault? How about if the Lambo was going 100mph? Or 150mph? Would the Mazda still be at fault then? The bottom line is if the Lambo was doing the speed limit this incident is highly...

Is that your new place? ;)
