    Grease Lightening

    Holy Swirlorama Batman! An entire thread full of people who have fallen for an ADVERT! It may look good once, twice, three time.. even four, but eventually you WILL swirl mark your paint. You can not expect to just wipe particulate debris into your paintwork and expect some miracle product...

    My watercooled build finished

    Fair enough. Still a beautifully put together rig. I'll wait for LGA2011 I think. I already have a X58 rig, and I'm not investing any more in that platform as it's effectively a end of line product now. Sandybridge (1155), while faster, is is not an upgrade IMO... not with the 16 PCIe...

    My watercooled build finished

    Nice. The Obsidian is a great case. I've just upgraded to a 580 as well... nice GPU. One question though. Why a i7 950 and not Sandybridge?

    How fast is your start?

    Best I can do.... but here's the first of my excuses... :) I suspect lag from my wireless keyboard. I'll see if I have an old USB or PS2 keyboard and try again if I have time.

    Ford Mustang 4L V6 Rental

    I did say at the start that these conversations are pointless :) When all said and done, we're talking maybe half a second anyway. I don't think anyone in their right minds doubts the Subaru is a more capable car, more of the time. That wasn't my point.. Just that a slightly heavier car...

    Ford Mustang 4L V6 Rental

    I've seen enough 1/4 mile runs from Mustang GTs to know that if you know how to launch them they'll do high 12s as standard. They'll easily do a 13.4ish run if you're a novice apparently. Most STANDARD Imprezas i've seen around around low 13s. If I was equally experienced with both cars, I'd...

    Ford Mustang 4L V6 Rental

    To be honest... £4k won't buy you much in the way of a Mustang. The reason is they hold their value so well compared to most cars. You'd get a 97 3.8L V6.. the old SN95 shape.. Not a great car, and not one I'd be willing to wave the Mustang banner over. IMO.. they stopped making...

    Ford Mustang 4L V6 Rental

    Not at all... just a debate. I know the image of a Mustang driver is a red neck who mates with his own family, but really... come on :) You mis-understand me, and the Mustang entirely. Straight away you're talking about which would win around a track, like everyone always does. Of course...

    Ford Mustang 4L V6 Rental

    Nope.. the V6. But in fairness, most people will assume that the V8 is just as awful until they know otherwise. I'm not saying you would personally, but because most people in the UK don't really like US cars, most would. Even I don't really like most US cars so I can relate to that. Like I...

    Ford Mustang 4L V6 Rental

    You make perfectly valid points, but the problem with the Mustang, is that it's always been set apart from the other Ford vehicles: It sports no ford badges.. it doesn't have the blue oval.. it has that pony.. that's it. It's almost marketed as a separate brand, so can't be used to sell other...

    Ford Mustang 4L V6 Rental

    To answer your question, look closer to home. What is the "essence" of Mercedes-Benz? What does it connote? Think carefully about this..... "Mercedes-Benz"... Want to know what comes to my mind? Diplomats being wafted from one dinner party to the next. Grace Kelly in a SL roadster...

    Ford Mustang 4L V6 Rental

    Morning everyone. I've been reading this forum for a few days as my friend "aandyy" in blackpool has recently bought a E Class, and he pointed this thread out to me. As a Mustang owner, I feel I should set some things straight and try to explain what the car is all about: I'll probably end up...
