Single lines on the internet don't get much more delicious than that.

Talk of the time trials made me morn for the theme in the main story. If it was a story based on parkour competition and those trite sponsor names were used as advertisement hoardings along the way, then it could’ve avoided all the bleak distopian tropes and just made it purely about fun and competition.

That Tony Pond video is one of my all-time favourites. The incongorous choice of car and the incredible talent of the driver make it so damn compelling.

Iterations on a phone make sense with 24-month contracts. In the console sphere, it's just pure BS.

The real definition of insanity is that I've seen one of these in person. In England.

I agree. I've a hard time wondering how the new one befits a car of this entry price, when it's less interesting than the previous design and still miles away from the cabins of its rivals.

£7.99 to change my gamertag? No thank you.

Oh god no, those Euro-spec white tails are horrific

Irrefutable logic. I know which I'd prefer, matey.

No idea who Bun B is, but I've been seeing Gumball updates from Shmee on IG and the cars look like ass.

It sure did. I'm hoping for it to be added to Xbox One backwards compatibility. The Highland Green Mustang in San Francisco is a pretty unbeatable combination.

Strangest Holden I see here is a Daewoo/Chevy Lacetti with full Holden badges. I can't tell if it's an over-enthusiastic owner, or they emigrated here and had it shipped over from Aus/NZ. The latter makes little sense for an every day car worth very little.

Australian for nudge bar, so they can nudge ‘Roos out the way. Bull bars in the UK.

Allegedly, when the batteries go in the eHDI hybrid models, it's £20,000 to replace them.

I had a 306 XSI with wacky 90s velour and I’ve yet to sit in a softer, more relaxing seat. Just pure, unadulterated comfort. There was a little groove you could notch your neck and shoulders into about five inches from the top of the seat back and just feel like you were on a motorised sofa. That's about the only

Aesthetically, the game world is without equal. Just pure and vibrant, to the point where even cooling fans and access panels look so darn interesting. Pity it’s not an open world hi-jinks sim where you can explore and photograph or parkour without so much as a guard harassing you. That would be a buy from me.

The biggest prank is the original city itself. It calls itself Britain’s Ocean City, despite being four miles behind a breakwater and basically still in the English Channel.

The colour of that leather still does things to me. It's sexual.

I can’t be dealing with the lower redline in modest diesels, it would have driven me mad in this. It looks great, though. The new R8 is poor compared to the styling of the original.

I was smitten by the ‘Cyclops’ Graham Nash at Prescott 2009. I managed to get a couple of pics, which helped me find out more about it a couple of years later. What a cool machine. Watching the engine was mesmerising.
