    The world of hypercars

    I mentioned the steering feel once for Christ's sake (immediately followed by someone disagreeing) 😄 Hypercars - the nearest I’ve been to them is an Aventador SV and SVJ owned by a couple of down to earth lads who show up occasionally in a little ‘car club’ I’m a member of - even they will say...

    The world of hypercars

    Agreed, Porsche don’t seem too keen on giving exact details. Maybe my fault for using vague terms but by ‘sharper’ I mean a quicker response to throttle input - where 10% more throttle in ‘normal’ would give X opening of injectors in sport mode that same 10% of throttle movement might give X+...

    The world of hypercars

    Almost sure to be a .2 then which avoids most of the issues with bore scoring although there’s a slim chance it could be a late-registered .1. If you’re used to driving modern cars with finger-light steering the the 911 experience can feel a little old-school but starts to make sense as you up...

    The world of hypercars

    Each to their own but after 3 years with a 996.2 and 4 with a 997.1T I tried a 991.1 and it seemed to be a backward step losing the feel of the earlier cars, the way it would weight-up the steering beautifully and just got better with the addition of DSC controller. Not driven a 992 of any type...

    The world of hypercars

    I missed which model 911 you’re discussing (2009 model? Probably a 997.2) and whether you’ve bought it, hired for a short period or something else but something I haven’t seen mentioned is that the 997 was the last of the hydraulic steering models. The first few attempts at electric steering...

    Something for the 2-wheel Petrolheads

    Out the crate, the 916 was set up for stability on long corners and had immense mechanical grip. This made them an aquired taste but time spent on suspension (especially getting more weight over the front) transformed them. They were lovely but expensive and had a relatively narrow power band...

    Something for the 2-wheel Petrolheads

    Talking about small Italian manufacturers who just know what they’re doing…!! Fragile valve train aside, these gems are fantastic and THE best handling package I’ve ever ridden. I know the X is a track only bike with a choice of WSB engine internals where 200bhp is entry level but I consider...

    Something for the 2-wheel Petrolheads

    A good friend of mine surprised us when he turned up on a (then) new Diavel after years on R1s. Oh, how we laughed, took the piss, asked why it had a truck tyre on the rear, is it a Harley that was parked next to a forest fire for a few weeks etc etc.. Then we hit the bendy B-roads where the...

    film suggestions

    I vaguely recognised your description and Google confirmed. Long school holidays spent with grandparents whilst my parents were working, Gran and Grandad dozing all afternoon on the sofa and me in control of a B&W TV (with a slot for 50p coins) and a huge choice of 3 channels! There are some...
