Re: Interesting AD decision to share

It's the human factor. If it were me in the ambulance then I'd rather you did what you did. If not then I might have a different perspective. Yes, you broke the law but sometimes there are more pressing issues. Imagine the following: you stick to 50 mph, slightly hinder the ambulance, then learn lat...

Re: Would you break the law here?

In such instances, I would go for what appears to be the safest option, irrespective of the law. There is no point in being dead but legally in the right.

Re: used 911 or tuned MX5 ?

I tend to keep mine at the recommended 26 psi (2000 model 1.6) but others say increase them a couple of pounds all around. Make sure you keep the oil topped up as well. Thanks for the advice.

Re: used 911 or tuned MX5 ?

Ok, made up my mind and went for the mx5! I'm struggling with the non-OEM on-off clutch, but that aside, it's a hoot to drive! :D :D

Re: Mobile phones

... Since we are talking about laws and bans and all that... Have some of you stopped for a second and thought about what makes a law FIT FOR PURPOSE?
