Waited? I ordered when they opened the books on 10th September, and deliveries were meant to commence on 2nd October. As far as I'm aware they've only just started shipping UK units. Contract prices? I have no idea at all, I bought SIM free direct from Google.

I decided to leave my 4A order as it was, and this turned up on Saturday...a bit of overkill for Google's 22nd birthday I think, shipping a massive box of air and helium! First impressions; a screen that's almost the exact same size as my Pixel 2 XL, in a body that feels tiny and light...

Isn't it double Zs that give the -ts-ah sound? Like pizza? That's how to me it's always been, and after 49 comments on the video from a bunch of enthusiasts no one's mentioned it. TLDR: meh.

My excitement level of 11 was warranted. I loved every second of this 😁

I love that! Original floor mats and stereo and it would be perfect!

Balls. I think I'm gonna cancel my 4A pre-order just to be sure to be sure.

Does anyone have any idea when Google are going to release specs and open the orderbook for the 4A 5G? I'm thinking for the extra £150 over the 4A I already have on order, it might be a better long term proposition. Not for 5G, more for screen size, processor, Android updates etc.

That rain!!!

That's hilarious. What a thing!

A couple of updates on my ownership and something significant I've learned that I kind of knew already but it's just been 100% confirmed... 1st, Bedford, a round-up of how it went... there's not much here I haven't said in an earlier post, but thinking about it more, I'm completely amazed it...

Pixel 4A ordered this morning as a replacement for my aging Pixel 2XL. Genuine excitement, far more than I should be really! Long wait though, won't see it until 2nd October.

Yes it has. I was thinking of different pads to go with the ATE fluid I currently have, but now I think why bother?! They wouldn't increase the fun I had, and I wasn't really using all that the standard pads had to give.

A bit more sideways action here as I try to stay with a stage 2 (450bhp) ZF8, and then keep ahead of another with Bilsteins and brake upgrades aplenty.

Upcoming video I'm filming tomorrow...but, spoiler alert, having measured them the day before I left for the circuit, and then last weekend (a week after the trackday) I can report I had precisely no wear at all on the fronts, and 0.6mm lost from the rears. Genuinely, when I say no wear on the...

Mine's fine. Using Chrome on a Pixel, it works perfectly.

Epic progress and a great read (y)

Relaxed. Open pit means track time when you choose, instead of having to keep your car moving in a queue or else go to the back and wait 45m to get back out again. Also, far far busier, and a lot less strict with the marshalling. We're all going back at least once next year, I'm up for a...

No need. She daren't ask. She knows.

Static strips! I haven't seen any of them since 1983!

I tried convicing my wife earlier this would be a good C-Max replacement. Told her it would retain a lot more value, and would probably get quite close to the 58mpg we currently get. She was having none of it. Sorry.

Exactly. F*** wearing a full face helmet in a closed cockpit car, it's not a competition, it's a social event. Boots? For me, I have a lot going on down there so want to feel exactly what I'm doing. Plus my normal H&T on the road is to roll off the side onto the throttle so any shoes will do...

I was super cautious knowing that, as on my first time out at Goodwood, I could ruin the day if I went too hard on them. I am thinking of some better pads next time out although I'll probably just drop them in for the day and then swap back to road pads immediately after. That way I could go for...

Storage and wax IIRC. It soon mounts up.

Somehow, yesterday, we ended up with a day exactly as above, broken cloud, sunshine, and not one single drop of rain. We were lucky, very very lucky. Thoughts after my first time on track in the dry with the LSD? HUGE fun! It might be soft compared to more track focussed things, but the 140...

I've never seen one before. Now I'm kind of hoping I don't see one again.

I spent today getting ready for Bedford on Monday. Car status is still standard apart from the LSD, ATE Typ200 brake fluid, and a CG-Lock. And a sh*tload of cameras. And tethers. And power cables. And microphones.

I dread to think how quickly you'd punt an M-lite 1 series on if you bought one. Less than 48 hours I reckon 😆

Has anyone fitted an actual diffuser to a 1*2? Ever?

The M535i attracted far more attention than anything else, it was immaculate. I never realised they fitted them with a dog 'box, special car, ///M beginnings!
