I'd never buy BMW. Just have an irrational dislike of them... Also going off Audi. At the moment I wouldn't entertain anything from JLR either. Even though my last 2.2 XF Sportbrake R Sport, even with ultra low profiles, etc. was the most comfortable ride I've ever driven, the residuals and PCP...

Ooh, did someone say Jaguar? :)

I agree, I was just saying that it *could* be perception, rather than anything actually wrong.

Actually Falken DO consider themselves a UHP tyre manufacturer. Falken are simply not targetted at the UK market. Goodyear are expensive here because they are a well recognised brand that has historically been well marketed in this country. Falken are not as well known, and so cannot...

It's worth getting them checked, but they may just be "like that". I laughed like a drain at my mate getting out of his Cupra F into my Jag and nearly putting his face through the screen everytime he applied the brakes. Likewise, I often climb into the wifes car, get near a junction, apply the...

By buying Falken you're getting tyres on a par with Goodyear or Dunlop. Falken are in a manufacturing partnership with Goodyear, they have shares in each other and both companies jointly own Dunlop (75% goodyear, 25% Sumitomo (Falken)). Their R&D is shared. They even manufacture under license...

It's not so crazy... at your mileage you have 6 months or so before the 7 hits 100k and the potential for big bills. However, you said it's not really about fuel prices, and I presume that would also cover the occasional expense of parts, so what is this about? I imagine that you are spending...

Yeah, or Goodyear or Dunlop...

Meh.... just another million dollar hypercar chasing big numbers. I dunno, there's something a little jaded about all this. Looks like the front of a Koenigsegg and the back of a Zonda, and with those stalks, will look like Shrek head on. Nothing particularly inspiring, fresh or radical, apart...

What he said... Or if you want something a bit sportier, look at something like this: http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/2403006.htm Or if you want something a bit roomier, something like this: http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/2382866.htm

Meh, totally dependant upon the car. On the Cerbera the Falkens were fantastic. In the summer I never had a moment when I wished for more grip, and even in the winter I never had enough moments to make me consider changing them to anything else. However, on the Jag it's a different matter...

Or if they couldn't get a ferrari GT, they may buy an Aston, or a Jag or something else, and the Ferrari would become an expensive drain on resources and potentially retired.

Even though they've been making GT's since 1949, and the bulk of their income is derived from GT sales?

I like it.... but then again, I like an SE5 Scimitar... :)

lol, Oops... a spot of dyslexia there... ;) Edited now!

There's loads if you just want prices. Try googling for "tyres".

Avon ZZ3 or Falken FK452's?

I've seen about 29-30mpg on the S-Type R during Mway cruising, so it wouldn't surprise me if the TT-RS could get near the claims.

I presume he means that unless you spend a large proportion of your time cruising on the motorway the relevance of the 45mpg figure is limited. If you were buying a car specifcally to cruise around at 60mpg on the M1 all day, you probably wouldn't choose a TT-RS when, if you really had to have a...

It's called a throttle pot (short for potentiometer) and cost depends on the actual part used. I had a problem with one of the pots in the Cerb and the replacement part was, I dunno, about £25, but pots for the RV8 engined Trevs (chimaera, Griff) are over £100
