    The traction control on the RX8 gives you about half a second of pants wetting before it kicks in and makes everything ok!

    That might've been what happened. Wont know for certain becausevshe won't touch the thing.

    For anyone with an E46 (aka. half the forum) - how much tyre life do you get on the rears?

    Just wondering, cos mine is starting to get more and more tail happy so I'm keeping an eye on them. I reckon I'll have ~15k miles out of them by the time they're fit for the bin.

    That said, they are Potenza RE050a's, and they have endured a lot of 'spirited' driving... :D

    Neighbours car failed the NCT over this little hole and nothing else. "Structural corrosion to seat belt anchorage". The funny thing is no one has ever even used the rear seats/seatbelts. Retest is free, but still..... come on!

    It wasn't, the fecker went rooting for it. The mechanic brought it for the test, and he had clashed with the tester previously, so it had to be failed ;)

    Probably already been posted, but found this to be amazingly low.

    Was driving through the town this morning and seen the car on the back of the tow truck going through the town. Lot of effort for what's essentially a 'smash and grab' robbery? Must have had something against the chap?

    Quick insurance question, if you opt to pay by DD is any part of the deposit refundable if you cancel it or is there an easier way to go about cancelling insurance after a month or two?

    Indeed - I was under the impression that they couldn't go pulling at things - ie they could only go on what they can see without dismantling.
