I've been playing NFS Most Wanted at my girlfriend's place on PS2, there was a guy on the blacklist with a Gallardo and a remarkably similar black patch of vinyl to the 710/2... Anyway, this is epic work as can be expected of Mr. Tool! Never knew I wanted an Edo Lamborghini until I saw this, cheers! :btup

The saloon is actually a pretty striking piece of design. It's still far too fussy with its details like just about every post-Bangle car design, but what can you do? I looks much less post-modern than the new 5-series which has descended into bland-ness. The hatch looks like a toy Fiesta they made in China without consulting the car in the metal...

Many happy returns, dude!

I don't mean ship it from other planets. I said that to illustrate this point: despite what we are told, it is a natural mineral made by the immense activity and chemical reactions in the earth's mantle, and not purely from fossilsed dead things which will expire. The fact that it could be on other planets merely says that it's a universal process of any planet with a molten hot core. So basically, because nobody really knows for sure how petrol and oil are made, the oil companies who say 'we have 50 years' worth down there' could quite possibly be lying to us to drive their prices up and have loads more than they say because it isn't made from ancient organic matter and actually from carbon deposits dating back from the formation of the earth itself. The evidence of biology in oil could just be down to the thermophiliac (heat-seeking) bacteria that live near the bottom of the earth's crust. You should never rule this stuff out, especially when we don't know enough.

I am more than familiar with the late great Mr. Bill Hicks. You think I don't do my research when I want to form an opinion? :)

Cheers blokes! :D I went to work, finished my duties as a till drone, had a massive Chinese restaurant meal with the family, then retired to STALKER SoC with my own fettled Supermod v. 2.3 for the evening, black metal playing on Foobar. Yes! If any of you are in Nottingham on Tuesday evening I'd buy you a beer!

It's just a widely accepted theory that it's a fossil fuel. It isn't proven for certain, and a very clever bloke worked out that it could be made on other planets without any dead things... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abiogenic_petroleum_origin http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Deep_Hot_Biosphere#Origins_of_petroleum Global man-made climate warming swindle? What a way to artificially inflate the price of everything...

I don't like it as much as the Toyota GT-One or those Calsonic Nissans from the end of the 1980s. The GT-One road car will always be a dream car for me...

The only thing is I don't want a 125 if I can help it. The more I think about it the more I want a sports or superbike...

I'm going to stick my neck out and say Best Motoring trumps Top Gear in my opinion. Of course, Top Gear when it's at its best is like noting else, and I love it, it's all the more awesome for it... but the Japanese show is more like a car show for car people and not three television personalities cocking around. They have more races in the vein of Diablo's clip of old TG, but Best Motoring is it's own thing and better than a dying Top Gear: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJxP1_hnBkg

F1 is also about engineering (once again, at last) and kudos to Ross Brawn for designing the superior machine. If F1 were more about this, like in the '70s and '80s, I'd watch it. Same with NASCAR, the cars are all the same and none of them are relevant to the production cars.

http://www.sniffpetrol.com/issue020.html KIA MAGENTIS HAS NO COMPETITION 'The Kia Magentis is a saloon executive car sitting alongside plenty of other competitive models all clamouring for your attention', according to some writing on the company's website. 'But a closer look shows there's actually no competition,' the site continues. 'Because the Magentis gives you all the space, comfort and luxury you would expect from a car at this level - at a fraction of the price. In fact the depreciation on many of the others could buy you a Magentis. With Magentis you also get elegant European styling, an ultra-smooth drive thanks to the powerful 2.5 V6 engine plus sporty H-matic automatic transmission. So unless you're in the habit of throwing money at expensively advertised badges, the expression 'no-brainer' springs to mind...'
