    Bye Bye Skoda, Hello GT86.

    I don't know if they are on the Prius or what, but yes the Pimitives! It's normally only when provoked, but they are a pretty terrible tyre and do not inspire confidence. I cant wait to have a change! They werent particularly terrible on track in fairness.

    Bye Bye Skoda, Hello GT86.

    You have: On, "Sport" or Off. For the first few laps I had it in Sport, but then I turned it all off. The track was very very slippy today, and my standard tyres are running a bit low! I'm going to switch them for Kumhos next I think.

    Bye Bye Skoda, Hello GT86.

    The car got its first taste of the track today. I headed over to the PistonHeads Sunday Service, just down the road at Silverstone. it was £40 for a 30 minute track session so I couldn't really say no! All the sessions were delayed an hour due to ice, and the track was still very slippy when...

    Diesel on the roundabout... Honest

    Now your real enemy is... lift off oversteer into lamposts. ;)

    Diesel on the roundabout... Honest

    Another MX5? Did you manage to pull any of your modified parts off the car before they took it? Seems a shame to lose some nice bits. I guess if they're worth less than £900 and the hassle its not worth it.

    BMW 130i

    Nice car history there! Is the 3.0 they used in the run-out Z3's the same 230bhp M52 lump?

    E36 328i Sport - round 2!

    S'alright, that. In all seriousness, who the f**k has the wheels painted black in 2016? The previous owner must've been a right cabbage. Silver looks 10,000,000x better.

    BMW 130i

    Can I be negative? Always hated them, always will. Bloody ugly and not that nice to drive. However, I quite enjoyed that engine in my 3 Series. And its your car, so if you're happy. ENJOY! EDIT: I feel really mean, I don't like poo-pooing someones latest car purchase especially if they're as...

    New Ford Focus RS 2016 In The Flesh

    Not too shabby that! And I'm not a Ford man. Still think the MK1 is the nicest mind you...

    Waze - Traffic App

    I always thought built in Nav on a phone was a f**king stupid idea, and it kinda still is. My Garmin pissed allover every nav unit (even though its a few years old) and got me round Europe twice, trouble free! The less said about the trip with the brand new top end TomTom the better (Back in...

    2016 Audi RS3

    I've been out in the first gen RS3, tuned with about 400bhp. That did a stellar job of rearranging my internal organs. You should talk to Revo.

    Picked up a nice sensible family car, with room for the dog

    This is frigging awesome. I'll also have to do one of those Rico Rallys at some point!

    Diesel on the roundabout... Honest

    To be fair, I haven't taken out any Lighting yet. Nor have I crashed. But I keep coming near to, I doubt I'll properly lean until I do.

    Diesel on the roundabout... Honest

    Sorry but the description sounds like a slapstick sketch. I did a small chuckle... Fair play for being honest, and at least you're alright! Got a lot of parts on that, easy to transfer to a new shell...

    Bye Bye Skoda, Hello GT86.

    Ah yes, the kit that adds no power but puts it up a tax bracket! I do think it looks pretty awesome though. Pretty good company car tbf, I got mine on PCP so I do have the option to keep in 3 years... as it stands I would want to! I was going to do the hilariously cheap lease on the R but...

    Bye Bye Skoda, Hello GT86.

    Yeah it was dry today for the first time in a long time and I forgot how Not-So-Shitty they can be! Still would rather have my F1's for all year round. The Conti's are meant to be better, mind you. But the F1's are £70 a corner! How's yours doing? Any issues?

    Bye Bye Skoda, Hello GT86.

    Talk to a dealer, the online finance calculator gives you hilariously high numbers for used ones. You can get a lot LOT cheaper talking to a dealer... My F1's were always awesome in the wet though?

    I had Eagle F1's on my Golf, on both sets of wheels. They were very good and very well priced!

    Bye Bye Skoda, Hello GT86.

    I let some Eastern Europeans clean it on my lunch break. They told me it was a "Nice Car" and asked what I did for a living. I was tempted to say "Pay for a finance agreement" but didn't. I have this dilemma! I don't want to lose its playfulness, but when I go out for a blast with mates its...

    Yeah, I remember having a lot LOT more confidence when I got it in September, and it was still pretty warm back then !

    Bye Bye Skoda, Hello GT86.

    I would argue on the Primacy's it power oversteers a little too much... especially over winter. I cant actually remember the last time the road wasn't icy or wet, so I cant remember how it was when properly Dry! lol. For the record, mine was on 25k and cost me £16k, it was the cheapest one...

    My 205 burnt to a crisp :(

    I hate people. People suck. As has been posted several times, gather as many adverts for similar minty mcmint 205's and always turn down the first off or two from the Insurance until YOU are happy with it. You pay them for a service, they have to provide it...

    Bye Bye Skoda, Hello GT86.

    I can tell you now, im 99% sure they arent Prius tyres sizes. I imagine they'd be even skinnier? Either way, its not the tyre size that makes it the way it is, that's not what I'm saying at all. Its the tyres themselves. Michelin Pilot Primacys. It's honestly the worst tyre I've ever had in the...

    Bye Bye Skoda, Hello GT86.

    No, you've been to rude. Plus you'd only crash it, then not post that particular video on Youtube in fear of embarrassment... E46 M3 was on the list. But this car was a PCP jobby, with warranty. Plus, the M3 would be right at the top end of my budget. I got burnt by an E46 330ci and I'm still...

    Oh right, well I'll be on a restricted A2 license so uh.... I wont be doing that. Of course. Officer.

    Bye Bye Skoda, Hello GT86.

    It's a funny thing, this car. It seems to split the motoring press up in an odd way. The likes of Clarkson, Evo and even Harris praise it for being what it is. But then you get other publications, which usually would praise such a thing or usually like 1.2 Hatchbacks, saying its got a lack of...
