I’ve not heard of any instances of this data being used to shop people to the police for speeding. However, the sharing of telematics data from new vehicles with the EU is going to become mandatory and can not be disabled. It will be anonymised initially but once that’s all up and running I...

I also had a great time and thought it was a really well run event. Great value for money given everything that was laid on for us! Also agree on driving standards I was in group 2 and everybody followed the track etiquette well. I saw one yellow flag when a supra in front of me spin out in...

I got the same email too. I guess they don’t want a family of 5 turning up to raid the buffet all day. I’m looking forward to the event. It’ll be interesting to see others cars and hopefully some Supra/GR86 too.

Just checked again on my laptop, got a message it was full and gave the option to go on a waiting list. Tried again on my phone and booked! 🤷🏼‍♂️ No idea what’s gone on there but booked in now.

Sold out by the time I saw the email! Looks like it’ll be a good event and £99 is a bargain!

2 main services done for me now and both times I provided my own oil as they still only have SN+.

Yes I did it in my mk7 fiesta st last year on a long drive and almost managed 50mpg! I was amazed how effective it was.

Drove to silverstone rally school, met another owner who’d done the same thing. Did some rally driving 😁 would definitely recommend.

My best ever was last week when I managed 45.1! Mostly in normal with cruse control. I slip streamed behind some lorries so the efficiency goes up a lot from that. Long term my average is around 33-35.

London is awful for driving. Twats everywhere. After a while you get used to the signs of an idiot in a knackered BMW about to cut across 4 lanes to make his exit and find ways to avoid them. I’ve driven there for years and you get used to it and find ways to have less stressful journeys. If...

I’ve set up both new set (for winter wheels) and then reset them back when returning to the OEM wheels and following the procedure in the manual worked. 5-10min reset both times. You do have to make sure other wheels aren’t nearby, that you don’t go into reverse. The manual is very specific...

I don’t get why they don’t offer the official GR parts over here. Would sell well and for a load of parts they could probably offer the warranty intact approach that Ford/mountune took with the fiesta/focus upgrades in the previous generation.

Two year service this morning. Once again took my own oil, once again told they had the right spec 🙄. For some reason they jacked the tyre pressures up to 38 so that’ll be changed later. Aside from that service was quick and staff are helpful so pretty stress free.

Interesting to see odd variants of European models in other countries. When I worked for Ford I’d see Chinese market Escort development cars driving around Dunton. Fairly different to the Escorts we know here.

I’ve the same wheels but in Anthracite. Braid full race A. 8x18 ET45 Weight 10.5kg. Used for winter wheels so I’m not too fussed about the weight. Michelin Cross Climate 2 tyres. I got mine through MacG Racing in the UK. They were very helpful with the order process, kept me informed of the...

Everything in life involving other people. But seriously, hazards on when parking like a t**t, like that excuses the Twattery. Just own your blatant flouting of common decency or road rules.

Yes I maybe overly optimistic. Like retro fitting the parts of the GRMN. I had seen they’d be on sale but for Japanese market only. So a slim chance we’ll be able to import them in the future but at a hefty premium.

I get the thinking of it being a JDM only version but it would seem harsh to have special editions of two drivers and not give the fans of said drivers in their home countries a chance to own them. Ogier’s even has French flags! Perhaps it’s just wishful thinking! A lottery like the GRMN would...

Both Shell and BP have apps that show the nearest stations and details of what fuel they have. Shell even allows you to filter by fuel type (ie vpower)

I’ve used the GRY this week given the weather. My immediate roads are hilly and un-gritted. I did have a moment at a junction where there car just started rotating on me but the grip recovered fairly quickly. In general the grip has been excellent given the conditions. 50/50 track mode...
