If you're comparing the stats of an F1 with a GTR, you're missing the point of the F1 completely.

I've got an S5 convertible. I've only had it a couple of months so can't really comment on reliability, but I've averaged mid-20s MPG I think.

Which bits do you need to do, Mick? The different trims are a mix of materials, so they don't all respond nicely to the same treatment.

Amateur. You need to unbox your think rhino.

Welcome aboard!

Sell it as-is. They always take more time, money and effort than you first think.

I'm going to be looking for a set of really good chrome side trims Mick - will you be selling those?

Ah yes, didn't see that in the OP. Chris - you can get replacement spring cups from Schmiedmann for about €50 per side, from memory, and replace yours with those.

What's up with the ones you've got now?

Braided lines on a standard road 5 series are for show, not for function - you won't be getting the fluid hot enough to get a performance benefit. Funnily enough, most brake specialists will talk you out of fitting braided lines on a road car unless it's something really special. The braiding means that the hoses don't have as much give as a standard rubber hose, so if you hit something (or more specifically, something hits your brake hose) then it's more likely to sheer off than deflect it. All that said, they do look cool...

-ABS and TC light on, I believe this is a common problem. -No speedometer These two will be related. Get the fault codes read - it'll either be ABS sensors or the ABS unit. -Rust on arches Unless this is MAJOR, this won't be an MOT fail -Engine oil leak (not a slow trickle - would need topping up frequently)  I'd tackle this before anything else, in case it turns out to be something more serious than you'd imagined.

This forum is here for you, our members. We want to provide you with a great resource, a friendly environment and a way to make life-long friends, be it online or in real life. In order to do that, we have to maintain a certain standard across the forums. That means ensuring that our members adhere to our code of conduct; both in the content of their posts and any unauthorised advertising. Over the years our Moderating team has remained fairly stable, but we're at a point where some of the team have had to drop off due to other commitments. That's where you come in. We're looking for two new Moderators to join the team, plus someone to take the new role of Social Secretary. The Moderators will join the existing moderating team to help maintain the standards across all content posted on the forum. The Social Secretary will be responsible for raising the profile of the forum at the various shows, meets and events that happen each year. Be under no illusion, both of these roles will require a significant investment of time. We (the rest of the Moderators and Admins) will be there to offer help and support, but you must be happy to take control of the roles and drive them forward. Pay will be on the same rates as the rest of us get (for the avoidance of doubt: £0). But in return you will be helping to drive forward your forum. If you think you've got what it takes for either role, please send a PM to Sandip outlining how you can help, and why you think you'd be the ideal person for the job. On behalf of the Management team and the whole forum, a big thank you to anyone who can help!

I can't quite picture a cage big enough for her that would allow you to have a passenger with legs. Cages also tend to have the door at either end, so you'd end up having to put her in it, then it in the car, which doesn't sound ideal. I'd guess the closest thing would be a big pet carrier with an opening top, but again it won't leave much room for your passenger's feet.

3 and 4 are the same place, aren't they?

I’m still waiting for my commission cheque!
