Red S197 with white stripes at the M25/M26 intersection just after 3pm today

Good news though - it's now been knocked down to £65k!

Kind of... The Australian market has always been challenging because you can't legally buy/sell new cars unless they're RHD - I think it's only "historics" that can be LHD. Importers used to create RHD versions of Corvettes, but they were very expensive and a bit of a hatchet job because there...

Absolute madness on my insurance renewal with Admiral. When I last renewed it was just my Vette and it was £600 for the year. Added my wife's BMW back in Nov to make it multi-car, then Mustang replaced Vette in April. Renewal quote was....£4,177 !!!!! WTF? Just got a multi-car quote from LV...

It can take a long time from VIN to window sticker. Dealer should be able to give you an estimated build date and the window sticker will appear in the week before that. As an example, I got my VIN in early Nov last year with estimated build date of 21st Jan this year, and window sticker...

Tuesday evening (I think, could have been Monday!) behind me at the Trinity School traffic lights in Sevenoaks/Seal. Grabber Blue and I think it was a Shadow Edition (I'm sure I saw the stripes on the bonnet). Gave a wave and got one back. Not the other Grabber Blue that I see parked almost...

Glad it finally arrived - hope you're enjoying it!

I never turn off traction control any more after a fright in my Vette - cold tyres, damp road, etc... These days I just potter and enjoy the sunshine and the V8 noise - making progress, but relatively pottering... I think the Mustang is just so good/refined that you do find yourself going very...

Each to their own I suppose. I did think about a Camaro when the 5th Gen first came to the UK, but based on my Vette experience I couldn't be bothered with the one-dealer-who'll-give-up-at-some-point again, and a car that was way heavier than my Vette with the same engine, and a car that looked...

Not very exciting, but... Got bored with stuff sliding around on the cheapo boot carpet, so bought the official boot liner (£73 new on Fleabay). Based on the pictures I guessed there'd be a gap on the right-hand side to the sub-woofer as the B&O sub doesn't have the frame/lip that the Shaker...

My understanding is that the V5C doesn't show it as 6.2 but as 6 followed by letters. I think " Euro 6 AD" corresponds to 6d (which is one of the variants of 6.2). My wife's BMW, registered in Nov 2018 so must be 6.2 compliant, and my GT, registered in March this year so must be 6.2 compliant...

You're making me feel guilty - Brands is only 10 mins up the road from me (and sometimes I'm sure I can hear the louder stuff - bikes especially - over the background hum from the M26 and M20).

Never tried Hankooks myself, and I know lots of people on US forums say how great Hankook, Nitto, Toyo, etc are...but if you check out Evo tyre tests the Hankook Evo2 tends to come out near the bottom (for being average at everything, not for being bad in a particular area). And I'd generally...

I had a similar problem with my Vette. Aircon stopped working, completely empty, so re-gassed including dye. 12 months later, completely empty again but no evidence of leaks on high pressure or low pressure sides. Refilled but sold it not too long afterwards so don't know if it's an annual...

It's almost certainly in the spirit of removing a component (i.e. one of the motors) that saves a few $$ per car, multiplied by 1,000s of cars. Happens all the time. Classic example used to be first year of a new model had a cigarette printed on the lighter, later ones had it removed...to save...

Have to admit, based on my experience with the Vettes I used to own, I was sceptical of the comments about mpg "falling off a cliff" above 75-80 mph - I used to see a pretty gradual tail-off at higher speeds. But you guys are right, it really does tail off quickly with the GT. (Mine's a...

In the spirit of science with a control example.... I've never treated the paint or top on any of my cars and they've always looked good as new when I came to sell them (and tops never had any issues). Last car was a Vette C6 convertible I had for nearly 11 years and was my daily-driver all...

Got them on my Ruby Red convertible:

Adjusted the AFE Bias to bring the trip computer more in line with real MPG (was over-reading by 7-8%).

Interesting you mention the failing suspension... I had an '04 Z4 from new that had a known problem where the rear coils failed after about 3-4 years (i.e. just outside warranty), instant MoT fail. Of course, BMW said it was wear and tear (even thought they all failed) so I had to fork out...
