The ultimate Ikea car, please tell me you've filled it with flatpack furniture at least once?

New Conti GT configurator is up, I've config'd this to be an ultimate daily driver, quite tame on the outside but bolder on the inside:

Yeah, all 3 are present and you can choose which of the 3 you want showing. A very classy solution compared to Mercedes' dual screens in the S class coupé, which is a clear rival to this car. I know which of the two I'd have, definitely the Bentley.

I think the Fiesta I learned to drive in had that NA 1.6L engine, can't fully remember as it was 6-7 years ago. Definitely a fun car to drive, that's pretty impressive MPG too :)

Great article :) The Ferrari V12 is iconic.

Slightly different spec to yours Loek, love that colour blue though: Unsure about the design of the rear, it's a bit chubby isn't it? It looks awful until you start speccing nice wheels/colours etc.

It's the 3 sided dashboard that I love, the blank side / 3 dials / screen all look fantastic and much better than the ipad solution offered by Mercedes etc. Gives you the choice.

How far do you have to travel to find snow from where you usually live?

It's certainly a huge step up over the California, that said the Cali T fixed 90% of the issues with the Cali imo, I liked it a lot. I just don't like the Portofino in that spec, I think a different colour interior and different alloys would make this look a lot more special. The options list needs to be heavily used I think, bits of carbon fibre in places will definitely make this feel less entry-level.

The new Entry-Level Ferrari has been unveiled, the Ferrari Portofino: - 598bhp 4.0 Turbocharged V8 - 40bhp increase over the Cali T - Lighter than the Cali T - Full details coming at the Frankfurt Motor Show Images from www.jalopnik.com

Decent selection of cars there, although I'd rather have a Gallardo Superleggera or Murcielago SV over the Veneno, it may end up being great on the track I just think its intended purpose is to move from concours to concours compared to the other 2 I suggested. The Sesto Elemento looks great in that colour too, I'd never seen it in anything but the launch colour, this one shows off its shape much better. I'd say 6-7 of the 8 pictures you put in your post would easily win the banner competition, which makes me very excited for this game to be released. Those snaps look incredible.

Yaas please. Images from Auto Express | New and Used Car Reviews, News Advice I wonder if you'll be able to drive it in bus lanes in London? It's certainly the length of one. The Zonda Isn't dead :panic: Images from Top Gear | The world's greatest car website

I totally see this thread as shade at how bad my photos were yesterday :p I was hungover/on an iphone/wasn't in the mood for it :lol: I like what you've done with the BMW, it's a lot more striking in the second photo, but I'd say it's probably 5% too dark imo, especially on the lower part of the front bumper.

Car meet at Manchester Airport this morning, we've had torrential rain for the past 36 hours so I think it put off a lot of people from bringing the cars, that and there's a big car event on in Cheshire this weekend too that I'm hoping to go to tomorrow if I get the time. Apologies for the lighting on some of these, my heart wasn't really in it and the lighting was a bit awkward under the Concorde. Anyone spot anything suspicious with this GT3RS?

Wow that Z4 looks great, the design was never really the issue with the car though, it always looked kind of sporty but never had the chassis to match it :hmmm: They need to be gunning for the Porsche 718 Boxster with this next Z4.

Which makes sense really, they've always been slow/glacial at updating the RR line due to the price of the vehicles, you don't want to pay upwards of half a million pounds on what is supposedly the pinnacle of automotive engineering, for your purchase to then be out of date the week after.

Not sure RR should move away from the grille design they currently have, it's iconic. The next Phantom has a larger grille:

Done! :) if you type '@Microphone' into a post it'll give me a notification that you want me, and i'll be able to help you with anything. Don't hesitate to contact me etc :D [admin add:] Alternatively, use the 'report' link to inform us and state what you want done.

Yeah I knew that :( I meant to type AUS, got the 3 letters the wrong way around. Has there been any backlash against the Falcon/HSV ending production? Are ford decreasing their domestic output in aus or are they just changing which models are produced there? The first major car manufacturer to pull the plug on the UK post-brexit will receive a huge backlash imo, not sure it'd be deserved, but I can see a few boycotts taking place if a company makes thousands unemployed.

At the end of the day people can only criticise what is put in front of them, it is up to the developers and publishers to manage expectations and control the flow of information when releasing a game. If people are jumping to conclusions it's either because they haven't been given enough information or that they're a bit stupid, all these people you're criticising can't fall under that latter category, although a large number of them probably do. There hasn't been a GT game for 4 years, meanwhile we've had 4 Forza titles in that time. It is completely understandable that expectations are higher and people are going to be more critical, they've had a long time and most likely a gigantic budget to develop and release this game. If Turn10/Microsoft left a 4 year gap in between Forza Motorsport 7 and the next Forza title I genuinely think you'd see just as much criticism and tension in the run up to the release date. The best way to deal with it as a fan of the series is to just say the game will prove the haters wrong. I'm not calling Hassan a hater but his post above shows that even those slightly critical of Polyphony will be purchasing GT sport upon release. If the game is good it will get good press.

"I'm getting senile: A Diablo story" is probably the thread title i'd have given it. :cheeky:

What would you like them editing to? I can help :)

Have to agree with Ry here, not sure I remember any of the things I don't remember :confused: Although I completely get what you're referring to, I always seem to forget quite simple terms.

Absolutely adore these Citroëns SMs, they have enough substance that the quirkiness isn't just a gimmick. As they mention at the end of the video, is there a 2017 equivalent to the SM out there?
