    Autobahn 4 between Aachen and Duren is quite new, well sighted and 3 lanes. That is where I discovered that the limiter kicks in at an indicated 287 kmh (178 mph). Despite multiple goes, I couldn't get it above that. The A4 is on the way to the Ring and merits an early morning blast, especially on Sunday when, if I recall, trucks are subject to restrictions. I know we were not allowed to move our Panzers around on Sunday back in the day.

    52000 miles in and I still have plenty of wear on only my second set of rears. The Michelins really do seem to last well
  3. MNMJ
    Same for me.

    Are you moonlighting as a mini cab driver? No judgement. Just curious

    I was leant an IS-F for two days when I was first thinking of buying one. I was coming from an Impreza STi with a turbo and manual 'box. On the first day I decided the gearbox was so poor that I would go and look elsewhere. Luckily I took it up to North Wales the next day and played with various settings and fell in love with the package. 12+ years later I'm still enjoying driving in manual / sport mode when the urge takes me and then eco / auto mode when I want to cruise

    The C63 saloon was a strong contender when I ended up buying my IS-F. Three things tipped the balance: 1) The running costs for the C63, especially warranty, were much higher. 2) Perceived reliability 3) Contrasting experience with Lexus and Mercedes dealerships here in the NW over the years. 4) Purchase price for comparable age and mileage cars Actually that is four things....

    I find the boot on the RCF to be plenty big enough, though to be fair it is mostly hitchhikers who go in there...

    I thought the back rest heating on my RCF wasn't working, but the dealer confirmed it was Ok. The seat part is nice and warm though, especially when wearing light running shorts

    Me too. 7yrs 3 months and counting

    I did the same taking off a wetsuit few years ago. After a few weeks in a splint it was fine, and now I can't remember (or tell) which finger it was. I hope yours heals fully too

    Which one is more fun to drive to?

    An F car and a GR Yaris is my ideal two-car garage

    I love eco mode for motorways and when I just want a relaxing cruise. It makes a great contrast to the times I want to wake myself and the car up
  14. MNMJ
    I'm half and half; eco mode is great for motorway cruising and an easy 32+ mpg, whilst I really love the performance when nobody is looking

    Now that is a group buy I could get on board with

    Thanks; I love the red and had it on my ISF too, except it was called Mesa Red in those days. ...or do you mean the bike? I had it painted in homage to Tom Walkinshaw's racing XJS
  17. MNMJ
    Yes, I'm am very pleased how long they have lasted. The set even came with a spare suction cup, which I've not yet needed. If you get them, I'd suggest you clean the roof and the cups before each use, and wet the cups slightly. This should all be in the instructions.

    Great stuff. Looks like a Pz IV Ausf H?

    I've used a Seasucker mini-bomber for my bikes for 7 years. It is brilliant, though not cheap. Their website suggests they do also Monkey Bars, which might fit the bill for a canoe https://www.seasucker.com/collections/car-racks

    It was indeed hard work outside a hotel in the Netherlands as I was trying to put in a lot more pressure for a high speed early morning Autobahn blast. Adding just one or two PSI at home is easy. Amusingly, the random function on my sound system dished up the Dambusters' March as I crossed the border into Germany. The next time I crossed into the Fatherland, it gave me 633 Squadron. I think the car has a sense of humour.

    Pictures please...

    If this is what you mean, then I've had no problems in 5 years of running. I now use a black golf tee instead of a pencil. When Richard Meaden was running an RC-F long termer for EVO, I sent the suggestion to him. He did the same to his car, saying it was a worthwhile mod.

    I don't bother with a drive to the petrol station to discover their pump is broken or inaccurate, Instead I use a track pump: Mine cost about £12 from Decathlon about 15 years ago. It also works for my bicycles. One of these helps me get a more accurate reading:

    If you have more than one car in the family, I can vouch for Admiral multicar. The premiums have been surprisingly low and the UK call-centre staff have been knowledgeable and helpful during many calls.

    My highest is 60.40 litres. It was on a French Autoroute, where the filling stations are quite widely spaced, so it was a sweaty time. I had gone quite a way past the zero kms range stage. The £125.17 cost was a little unwelcome.
