Oh ffs man, how can he have finished a track car project, without being on track?? Christ on a bike, you have to rev a car hard on track, you don't knock it into D and waft through Druids trying not to spill your Latte!!

I don't know why people go so far? My 172 was useable everyday, but great on track! Suspension, brakes, exhaust, seats. Removed the rear seats for track days/tip runs, perfect. Why go so far that the cars only useful in one situation?? All you acheive is a car that's 10% better for 5% of the time!

So 2008. GTO, or GTFO.

Yes.

This. Older methods of casting/manufacturing parts meant that the parts were physically worn in (ie the rough edges removed) during use. Hence the early oil change which used to be required. Modern methods mean this is obselete. Ask the lad that had my 1st 172, in his words it was the quickest...

Each to their own. As far as I'm concerned, Ferrari wouldn't spank every single car they produce from zero miles.

If it's non fault, you're entitled to have it returned as it was before. Get onto insurance and the garage asap.

100% unnecessary. With modern ecu's, if it were essential for component longevity (given that any failures would likely be paid for by the manufacturer via warranty), they'd simply have a lower rev limit for the running in period. I've not run in a single car I've owned from new, none have had...

Looks miles better than Tigra!

Your a young driver, it's a much newer, pricier, more powerful car. Makes sense?

It's sweet that you pretend to have friends. Butlers don't count.

Modern engines don't need running in, I'm not sure why they even recommend it! Someone I know picked up a new 430 couple of year ago. Was told running it was essential due to it being a new engine, and under no circumstance should a new Ferrari engine be taken over a certain level etc. That's...

I'm sure the guy that ragged the f**k out of it coming off the boat etc wasn't worried about 600miles.

How is it exciting at low speeds lol?

Welcome! I've had a 182 in the past, now in a 200. 200 is the better 'car', 182 is the better hot hatch, more interactive and ultimately more 'fun'. Drive them both, decide which suits you best.

Are most of these cars about looks>performance? The Zed on the prev page looks unusable!

Having had both, they do feel different, not sure why! The plastic one's feel softer, the cup one's felt firmer.

Love the alonso/Lewis vid! The Hakk attack was quicker than both! They've had some epic drivers over the years, to think Schumacher could have joined!

R26's are ace. Not as much sheer fun as a Trophy, but better in other area's.

Gutting:(. Do you think you'll look for another, or move on?

Gromit in the passenger footwell, just below the dash. Log on using safari, have a search, there's pics somewhere.

Cs posh language right there. Put yes?/no? at the end of any sentence. +5 iq pts without trying. I've missed you. How's the panzer?

0-60, g meter, lap timer iirc.

You can give it beans from day one! All my rs' were given death (once warmed up). 100% without doubt that car was redlined whilst being loaded on the boat, and off the boat. Running in is not required with modern engines.

Soon, soon.

What happens at 600 miles!?!?!

Doesn't happen often this. Complete agreement. It's basically an old f1 lump in the back. Stunning doesn't cover it. I love the visible weave!!

Given that they are both world champions, and team mates, it's as good as it could be. Certainly not as forced as that cringe worthy pic red bull released lol.

I genuinely don't think Schumacher will ever be viewed in the same way. People can say that's due to his early death, but anyone watching f1 at the time knows the regard he was held in when alive. Much like Ali, we'll never see anything like him again.
