I didn't expect any news on this so soon, but seems an event is being held at Silverstone on Wednesday to announce some sort of release on the future of Gran Turismo. Could be interesting!

Feel really sorry for the guy, but he was driving very aggressively for a track day, admittedly not at the time of the crash. No heal and toeing going on so maybe not too much experience?
Very nice present, re the tints, my old cooper s had tints like that all round and I got stopped - had to take them off at the side of the road to avoid a long trip to the nearest vosa station at a later date. Pain in the ass!
Re: A Mini Adventure ...
I was going to say, it depends what you class as quick, similarly I have driven quite a few cars which are much quicker and I know that feeling you get. But all considered I remember my cooper s keeping up with my mates 182 cup on the autobahn all the way past 140...
Re: A Mini Adventure ...
He does have a lot of hate - well did 5 years ago when I had my car, however he still seemed to have a very strong mind about the way bypass valves can affect performance and from my experience he was right. I always thought for a 163bhp hatch it felt quicker than you...
Re: A Mini Adventure ...
When I spoke to Roland at GTT he suggested otherwise, there is a chance it can be slightly leaking in which case you wouldn't necessarily notice, I was suggesting checking it rather than going ahead and ordering a new part...
Re: A Mini Adventure ...
Have you checked the bypass valve? my mate took an s in part ex and I took it for a drive and it was way slower than mine, we put a new bypass valve on it and it went much better, I reckon it was as slow as a cooper with the knackered valve!
This is what you need...

This was my old 05 cooper s with a Larini exhaust fitted. Loved these cars, drove a lot of miles in Cooper S's including a ring trip and really enjoyed it! Went well and handled well out of the box, just brakes were a week point but im sure...
Just been looking at cars on Autotrader and stumbled across this dealer, who strangely have a number of pink cars for sale, I am somewhat baffled!

It looks like they bought the fleet off someone!
Love the P1, the LaFerrari is a stupid name! The Car looks like a big 458? Think the front looks amazing but not sure it looks as nice as an Enzo.
Really enjoyed the Evo GT3 video with Andreas Preuninger.
Ive had two 182s and two 197s, prefer the 197 although I would say after a short time in a 197 you might find it dull, its only when you start to drive it very hard you appreciate just how good it is. 197 is a lot nicer to live with day to day.
182 is definitely better in terms of economy...
The only car I have found that sounds good is the R8 V10 when you leave the standard exhaust on and go inside the car, sounds almost like the real thing!
I know they have a rep for being a bit soft, but I once went on a TTOC run up the dales passengering in my mates 225 and it impressed me how well it went. Handling was good I thought, few moments where the back went very light over crests, I know ultimately they understeer on the limit but on...
