    After that story from the Spanish press started doing the rounds online McLaren and Honda quickly organised a press meeting this afternoon to try and speak about how confident they are in each other. It's was all a bit lol.

    I seem to be speaking to myself but on the odd chance anyone else actually reads this thread: F1 2017: ¿PodrÃlaa McLaren romper con Honda y usar otro motor? - AS.com Story in the Spanish press speculating that McLaren could consider dropping Honda ASAP, possibly before the start of the season. They've had the worst week out of anyone testing their cars by far, Today has been marginally better but they're still around 2-3 seconds off the pace of the front runners. Alonso is not happy.

    Ferrari Accused Of Allowing Illegal Odometer Rollbacks In New Lawsuit Ferrari have allegedly been caught out allowing their dealers to roll back the odometres on some of theirs, the case in question is a LaFerrari whose owner was allowed to roll back the mileage to 0, supposedly adding $1 million to the value of the car. The piece of equipment mechanics use to do this has to get approval from Ferrari before being used, there is supposed to be just one in the US, so if this rollback did happen, Ferrari gave a green light. This could be huge, but I doubt it will be.

    :panic: I love it when there are rule changes in F1, the crazy loopholes and ideas people come up with: F1Writersâ„¢ on Twitter:

    Worth noting that Toro Rosso have kept their rear diffuser under wraps, I wonder if they have some secret worth keeping. Day one testing doesn't have too much to report so far, unless you're a huge McLaren Fan, in which case lol, Honda are determined to make you sad.

    These are the best F1 liveries we've had in quite a while, good variation of colour etc.

    I'm not sure the A1 is worth it, both friends and relatives have quite high spec versions and I just don't think they're worth the money. As for the A3, I could only get the saloon in S-Line trim but the hatchback I think is acceptable in lower specs for some reason.

    Updated the first post with all the cars unveiled so far, with the final 3 (Haas, Toro Rosso and Red Bull) being revealed tomorrow. Some rather amazing looking cars there, should be good fun to watch these race. As the saying goes, if a racing car looks fast it usually is, and these cars really do look fast compared to 2016's. Here's a good pic to compare the difference between '16 and '17.

    Hey Snosubie, welcome to TDUCK :) I can't be of much help as I don't play TDU, but someone more knowledgeable will be along soon.

    I'll take a 918, thx.

    Might look better in colour, but that isn't the most promising image haha, not very pretty is it.

    Some stunning entries this week, I've just voted, unsure who will win :hmmm:
  14. CarMadMike
    You just can't help yourself can you :p

    Likewise for the Raptor I think :hmmm: @Rassva @hassan1995, up to y'all :)

    Yeah it's interesting really isn't it, I guess the tech just isn't there for it to be worthwhile for this generation of console. As with smartwatches etc I'm more than happy to sit back and wait until I feel it's worth involving myself with this latest tech. I'm not the type to play arcade-y games and that does seem to be all it is good for right now.

    Eh I think you're pushing it there: The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines muscle cars as "any of a group of American-made 2-door sports cars with powerful engines designed for high-performance driving. Sports car, not race cars. Before every Tom lalalala (:toetap:) and Harry starts giving their opinion and this thread falls into the weekly slinging match (:yawn:) Let's all just leave it to Rassva and Hassan to decide. Thanks :)

    The new Ferrari 812 Superfast: Images from Jalopnik - Drive Free or Die - Naturally Aspirated 6.5 Liter V12 - 790 horsepower - 530 lb-ft of torque - 211mph top speed - 2.9 seconds to 60mph The god awful name comes from the 1956 Ferrari 410 Superfast :shrug: Not ok.

    Yeah I understand, it should be interesting. PSA haven't exactly been the picture of stability themselves for the past decade. As for Korean competition, a highly specced Kia Optima sportwagon drove past me earlier and I was like... damn that's stunning. And then I reflected on the fact i'd just called a Kia stunning.
  22. CarMadMike
    This thread is more suitable I think :) This could be huge news for Europe, Vauxhall employs thousands of people in the UK and it's not likely that PSA will be very welcoming to keeping jobs outside of the EU if they don't need to in a post Brexit world. It's also a bit of a shame in my opinion, I think they were on a roll. The new Mokka X is a good car, the new Astra is finally competing with the top of the class hatchbacks, the new Insignia and Insignia estate look stunning. The products are decent, the company just isn't profitable.

    That engine cover is not ribbed for my pleasure at alllllll, it looks a bit crap tbh. The rest of the car is rather nice though, The Huayra took a long time to warm to but I do like it now.

    Some new spy shots of the next Continental GT have been taken: images from Jalopnik - Drive Free or Die This is an earlier spy shot from a year ago and shows what it'll look like a bit more, They do seem to be taking a fair few design cues from the Exp 10 Speed 6 Concept which is no bad thing.
  25. CarMadMike
    Interested to know what happened next tbh, it looked like you were about to lose it :p
