    Learner driver question!

    wtf are the floodlights for then except distracting you when you drive past them! I've heard similar about the average thing but lets face it, most people do a constant speed through them all so the averages between any 2 are probably similar

    Learner driver question!

    They probably know where the cameras are and may be stopping between cameras or coming off at a junction before the next one etc. Speaking of the average speed cameras, I've noticed only certain ones have a set of floodlights about 10m before them pointing across the road but slightly towards oncoming traffic. Assuming they're for lighting up number plates so the cameras can work, I'd say not all average cameras are in use.

    Learner driver question!

    Head -> desk. Turns out we ended up on the section for northern ireland which is different to mainland GB which explains why no one knew about the supposed limit For anyone interested, in NI it's 45mph regardless of who is driving, the limiting factor is L plates on the car. Nothing to see here now... moving on

    R35 GTR Spoiler on GT86 Build

    I think the black looks good on the GTR and on the GT86 but with the black roof. If you're keeping the roof red, I'd say go for red...
  5. Usually switch mine on when de-icing the car in winter then they're nice and warm when I get in. Well worth the price and I find them comfier than the cloth
  6. I've not come across anyone trying to race, I do seem to attract pedestrians who think my cars invisible and attempt to cross the road anyway. Had it earlier this week, I was behind 2 other cars and the idiot tried to cross between the 2nd car and me despite there being less than a cars length between me and the car in front
  7. What did you flash her with to make her floor it? Not sure what I'd do tbh, probably flash lights but definitely back off and keep a distance between me and her.

    My car for sale on pistonheads

    If my cars worth less than the outstanding finance after 3 years, can I just hand it back to the dealer and then buy it back for what it's actually worth?

    Just cover up the N3 class...

    Engine Idle

    Mine idles perfectly steady with the air con off. It's only with the air con on does it dip every so often

    Engine Idle

    Yep, same for me. Revs drop slightly at traffic, little judder and it goes up.
  13. Are those the correct wheels? Thought the new model has different ones?

    What a lucky dipstick!

    If I find myself behind someone going way below the speed limit when there's no traffic I just back off completely now. Most of the time it's someone rather old and clearly not confident at driving over 30mph.

    Well I could eat something spicy... but you might be a while waiting for me to finish

    As long as there is parking and a non-totally spicy option, I'll be there
  19. Was insured with LV for 18 months, phoned a few times and always had a UK based person.

    Club Racing Tournament / Gaming Session

    I was long on my way to alchie status before I even got my GT86 Champagne on the other hand... There's no point telling Rob, he's one of us already

    Club Racing Tournament / Gaming Session

    No alcohol?! What sort of meet is this! Can't do 29th Nov as United are at home that day, other 3 are fine though - but I think you mean 6th / 7th in December?
  22. Might try out Aviva despite hating their adverts after Christmas when I'll have had my license for 3 years. From quotes I've done, it appears to make quite a difference to the price as well as getting more options for insurance companies. Despite changing half through a year (so no increase in NCD), I'll be saving around 35% even with some planned mods added on.

    That looks rather fancy! Put me down for a place and will meet at the pub

    PS4 anyone?

    I've just got round to getting a PS4 and FIFA 15 to tie me over until Project Cars comes out or possibly GTA V even though I played it on PS3... I can't really justify a gaming PC anymore due to costs and how often you'd need to upgrade it. My current PC is 4 and half years old and only thing I've done with it is a bigger SSD in it.
