One of my other needs as you have is freesat and freeview tuners onboard biggest drawback with modern panels screens is they all need a sound system be it full surround or a soundbar
Look at the processors each run for the smart system and then look at picture quality , the 8000 is the top due to features like hand gesture and not nessarsarly better screen or processor
If i remember rightly the 6500 has the same processor and screen but less in features you may not use...
This man speaks alot of sense ^^^^^^^^^^
I was at the faraday lecture in 1989 when the bbc showed us hdtv , and that took years to get mainstream content. Then 10 years later i was working for the first company to have a network to take hd broadcast content over fibre around europe , that again...
think about where the driver was sitting (LHD) and then think about the point the mazda actually pulled out ,
those things will have been factors as well , not saying whose fault though i suspect the mazda driver is screwed on this one , but i don't think that people have taken all the...
The average stopping distance at 30mph is 6 car lengths, have a look at point of impact , look at where he stops and the parked cars and therefore the distance , take into account the wheels were not on the ground after the impact , and then tell me he was doing a stupid speed .
Granted its not...
The fact you dont see you are to blame in any way is the problem
In every post where you have described what happened it has left a fair element of blame.
It started with going for the gap
The van was on the roundabout before you got to it , if he had pulled out right in front of you...
Please please please can you stop !!
Take a deep breath and try and understand.
Had you had a dash cam it would still go 50/50
I had a friend once very similar to you ,hell even i was similar at your age till i had a day with a class 1 police instructor.
He made me realise very quickly it was...
and thats how a good barrister would put it in court ,and the op find he is to blame its seriously easier to avoid and accident if your paying attention than deal with the paperwork if you don't.
yep , exactly , in fact i should give reference to the exact statement in the highway code
187
In all cases watch out for and give plenty of room to
pedestrians who may be crossing the approach and exit roads
traffic crossing in front of you on the roundabout, especially vehicles...
can you explain to me why you would loose your insurance ?
i am not sure i understand
oh and not being pedantic ,but being a frelance network engineer (your bio) do you not work for yourself so why quit your job ?
if you were doing 40mph then for the point of impact to be where it was why did you not see him apraoching and why did you not anticipate that he would not pull out ,
looking again , what you have said and what you have marked 50/50
and seriously , if you have had that many incidents in...
Sunglasses_Ron i think over the years i have done 4 or 5 with class one instructors , and a company i worked for for 10 years used to make all employees who had a company vehicle pass the IAM test , i am no saint on the road , and no doubt drive quicker than i should allot , its observation and...
With due respect in return i would suggest that some of us are older and wiser.
Both Ron and myself have tried to advise you but alas you do not seem to want to listen
Look ahead and anticipate , roundabouts are typical for this type of incident due to the number of entry and exit points.
It...
On a roundabout and went for the gap are the sorts of things that indicate you may find this a 50/50 claim , if you saw the gap closing easing off or braking was the better bet , if the car from behind hit you then ypur 100%in the clear
Its also running 10mm rear spacers behind hubs and 20mm hubcentric fronts with eibach camber adjusters to give -2.5 degs on the front.
Car does 600 road miles per week with the wife
I have never felt an m3 was a great backroad charger , again its more gt
The meg proberbly hits the spot but an exige would be the best you can get without strapping yourself in a caterfield , thats your ultimate twisties/track car for sensible money
They are s**t for the shopping run and...
Yep realitiy its not a car to do loads of miles in the twisties , nore is an ftype coupe ,an aston or an m5 or 3 .
Loads of miles down twisties go by an elise/vx220/exige , thats your real replacement
Its going to feel alot different to a clio granted , longer wheelbase much heavier etc .
This is where it gets a bit of understanding what to expect .
The supersaloons are more like a gt car not meant for super quick direction changes like a hot hatch.
But then a hot hatch like the clio feels...
Compared to ? They are fairly heavy , the nose will push on but they have loads of grunt , we have had ours 5 years , and have a cab , which wont be the greatest handling , but then i have a few cars that are all very different in feel
