666m road noise

Is the road noise with the 20 inch 666m wheels significantly worse than the 19 inch 437m wheels when driving on bad surfaces?

Or are they similar?

Thanks

Coding off loud cold start

Hi guys,

I'm looking to pick up an F80 Competition soon for some spirited driving. I had one very briefly a few years ago.

The cold start is earth shattering loud. It's not something I would ideally want before 8am or past 9pm.

I understand that it can be coded off, is there any negative impact to the engine/car? I understand that it's there for emissions regulations.

Have any of you guys done it?

Thanks.

UK prices

Hi all,

I owned an F80 Competition briefly a couple of years ago.

I was just looking at the market for one that has a similar mileage (less than 40k miles) and it's actually slightly more expensive than the car I bought 2 years ago! And it's 16 plate compared to the 67 that I had! Around £37k.

Are these cars actually selling at that price? Or are they over inflated?

Thanks

NW-A307 vs Samsung Galaxy S24 Sound Quality

Hi all,

I've had my NWZ-X1050 MP3 player since 2010, really enjoyed using it all these years and it's still going strong. It's sound quality trumped the IPhone and Samsung Galaxy flagship phones I've owned until I got the S24 a year and a half ago.

I was thinking of picking up an NW-A307 but would only do so if the sound quality is better than the S24's or at least as good.

So how would you say it rates for sound quality? Better than flagship Samsung phones?

I won't be listening to FLAC, it will be MP3 and YouTube music. Is it still worth picking up? Or shall I just stick with the S24?

Thanks!

Please teach Bazball to the English football team.

The English football team just reminded me of those old teams in football, cricket and rugby that I grew up watching in the 90s. Overly conservative.

They were like a heavy rnb band

Very soulful, Jerry's bluesy riffs and solos Layne holding those very long notes with power. Not to mention those vocal harmonies. So much emotion in their music.

Dirt Era concert video suggestion

It looks like the band didn't professionally film any of their prime Dirt era concerts in the early 90s. That's a bummer as I love Facelift and Dirt, two of my favourite albums of all time.

​

I would have loved to have something with the quality of Live At The Moore.

​

Is there any decent quality bootleg full concert from that era? Any recommendations?

His 'cousins' Brett Barnes and Jordan Chandler

He told the media that brown skinned Barnes and Chandler were his 'cousins'.

​

That was his excuse for bringing them on tour.

​

Media was growing and getting more invasive in the 90s so I guess he had to make up an excuse.

​

Then some of his family started saying Omer Bhatti was his son. What a bullshitter he and his family were.

Just sharing a bed with kids makes him guilty

Been a fan of MJ since 1988 when I was 5. I bought the whole man child, asexual, 'I didn't have a childhood nonsense in the 90s and early 2000s.

​

As a father of 2 young kids I'm absolutely shocked and disgusted that people accepted him sharing his bed with other's kids.

Did he take propofol because he felt guilty or due to the damage to his reputation?

Which one do you think it was?

He never showed much if any guilt in 1993 and continued his deviant ways after.

Marlon Brando said MJ had no real emotions.

Any chance the Forged Carbon PRX will get a Forged Carbon bracelet?

I really like the look of the Forged Carbon PRX, I don't mind the rubber bracelet at all but do you think there's any chance they would release a model with a forged carbon bracelet or would it simply be too expensive for them?

The carbon bracelet on the Zenith Defy looked great.

The only grunge band you can dance to

They had a great rhythm despite the bleak lyrics.

Can't help but bop to the liked of Rain When I Die, Junkhead, Dirt.

Then on Facelift there's Put You Down, I Know Something, Real Thing.

Really groovy playing by Mike Starr and Sean Kinney. Jerry compliments them with his bluesy riffs and wah wah.
