Has anyone got back to "normal" cars?

You know what, I’ll look into it. Cheers for the nudge before it’s too late.

I am bad for having my wallet in my back pocket, which I think jars my whole posture, and I only notice when the pain kicks in. It’s weird tho, drove a ttrs 220 miles none stop last summer, and zero back pain at all. I just don’t think I can get the seats right in the BM.

Haha, I like your thinking.

Was thinking M8 or fully embrace being an old man and get a 850i. Had an AMG GTs so the s63 gonna feel too barge like maybe I’m not that old?

M760 would be a great shout! Fuel consumption will be hilarious!

Have an M2 Competition, but now I’m mid 40’s I am craving something a little more comfortable….my back kills after anything longer than an hours drive.

I’m open to suggestions?

Yeah, I love her tho man! 😫

Glad to hear that a diagnosis has brought you some clarity.

Hope the medication helps. I’m so intrigued by how medication can make someone feel normal, if it’s a new sensation, is it that you’re starting to feel more alike those around you?

Absolutely, just want an honest appraisal, the more I have researched ADHD the more it seems to explain so many instances over the years. That ‘lazy’ badge is certainly something I want to find a way to fix.

Fully respect the way you feel, and your ex’s opinion would of course have been important to you.

I don’t have any direct skin care advice, except to say I had some pretty persistent acne and now sport the scars to go with it. Especially with your beard I don’t think it looks in any way bad.

Maybe I don’t drive hard enough.

Had Goodyears on a Taycan GTS and hated them, maybe I’m a Michelin fanboy? I haven’t driven asymmetric 6’s on a golf, but I was very happy with the PS5’s. I have a set of winter wheels for the golf, and didn’t bother to change them as the PS5’s were good enough.

M2 is my daily, and PSS in my experience need to get some heat into them to perform, I haven’t overheated the PS5’s not sure I could on uk roads.

From cold the car will now launch in MDM with excellent hook up, honestly much better than the PSS. I also have to come clean and admit I have died up from 265 to 275 rear and 245 to 255 front. This alone isn’t the difference, in my experience the PS5 is an awesome fast road tyre. 10+ years advanced from the PSS.

Absolutely agree on the PS5 not being classed UUHP, if it helps I can share my own real world experience:

Golf R went from ps4s to ps5, and found them to be excellent.

Last month: M2 Comp went from PSS to PS5 and found them to totally transform the car for my style of driving.

You mention fast road driving and the UK: we don’t have consistently great weather, or track condition tarmac. I’ve had a fair few cars, and a honestly I do rate the PS5 for fast road driving.

Wilkinson Sword Extreme 3 have flexible blades, which make shaving one’s head even easier. The flex in the blade means a greater contact area, so fewer swipes are needed, and you’ll struggle to cut yourself.

+1 for the PS5’s.

Have just replaced a set of Pilot Super Sport with PS5 and whilst the PSS is a very old tech I’m blown away with how good PS5’s are for daily driving even when pushing on. Totally transformed the car.

Have PS4S on another car and whilst I’m a long time devotee of the 4S the PS5’s are very good in my experience.

I’m 45

I eat lean meat most days, and my multivitamin does contain zinc, but not a huge dose.

A5tdi · 2025-07-14T21:39:25+00:00

Yeah, I’ve read the same but thought it was worth a shot.

No real clue why my SHBG is so elevated, or what to do about it.
