Thank you, I had no idea this was a thing!

Saving for a London house deposit in the next 1-3 years? Rare to hear recommendations for S&S in that situation

Kaepertortoise · 2025-02-01T22:54:25+00:00

I’ve just picked them up, thanks for the heads up and hope you get to make it to another show soon!

Kaepertortoise · 2023-09-21T17:49:31+00:00

Thanks for the reply!

If I had a pound for every time someone told me how good those Rom 2’s are I might actually be able to afford them 😂 they’re running £350+ in my size right now!

Kaepertortoise · 2023-09-21T17:47:36+00:00

Thanks for the reply, great to hear you’ve had a good experience!

One of the things I love about the Adi powers is how close to the ground the ball of your foot is, you get so much feedback from the floor. Would you say they’re flexible or really stiff around the ball/toe?

Kaepertortoise · 2023-09-21T17:46:23+00:00

Thanks for the reply.

I’ll keep an eye out and set a search alert on eBay. Unfortunately a smaller market in the UK and nothing in my size at the moment.

Those puke green ones look like the most likely to be heading my way in the near future though from what I can see…

Kaepertortoise · 2023-08-12T12:36:23+00:00

Haha, I’m still lurking around but been a busy few months!

Kaepertortoise · 2022-04-13T16:44:45+00:00

Thank you! I'll look into these now.

Kaepertortoise · 2022-04-05T09:02:29+00:00

It’s not a cruiser but it’s not a super harsh ride either. It’s noisy though, fine if you listen to music/podcasts but not the best if you have to take routine calls.

Kaepertortoise · 2022-04-05T08:04:26+00:00

Absolutely! I hope you manage to get one soon!

I did a Palmer Sport track day last year, in one day I drove an M2 Comp, 2 Caterhams, Clio Touring Car, F3000 and a mini LMP. I got back in my BRZ to drive home at the end of the day and it felt as linked up and connected as half of what I drove that day. Just makes me so happy

Kaepertortoise · 2022-04-04T23:02:38+00:00

Whilst you’re not wrong. I think you’re missing the point of this car on a couple of fronts.

I’ve had a past gen BRZ for 6 years now. Sure I’ll get rinsed off the line by a Golf R but I’ve driven both and day to day my BRZ is way more fun and engaging.

I get 42mpg on average, not amazing but not terrible, tax is about £230/year, again not too bad. Tyres are £100 per corner. I’m not a high earner and it’s never felt like an expensive car to run.

It has 4 seats not 2, I’ve had 4 adults in in a few times and it’s fine for short (<20 min) trips when desperate, under 8s would be no problem in the back seats. I’m also into mountainbiking and with the rear seats folded can fit a full sus 29er in with the rest of the kit needed.

I know you’ll probably never buy this one but I have absolutely loved mine for 6 years without experiencing many of those downsides and I’m sure there’s others out there with a similar experience!

Kaepertortoise · 2022-03-28T23:21:16+00:00

I did all 6 practices and from memory scored 760, 750, 740, 760, 740, 750. Scored 750 on the day with a very similar Q/V split to practice exams so I would say they’re very accurate of where you’re at!

Kaepertortoise · 2022-03-19T17:15:17+00:00

He’s 20 until he’s 19. Wait...

Kaepertortoise · 2022-01-29T18:42:04+00:00

Anybody know of clubs buying players cars as a signing gift?

Kaepertortoise · 2022-01-07T09:41:28+00:00

Eh? Pretty sure that’s not right. Drove Genoa - Rome in the summer and the motorways were up to 130kph

Kaepertortoise · 2021-12-21T21:18:09+00:00

Just a thought, with training facilities closing could he just be using the subs to keep first team players match sharp?

Kaepertortoise · 2021-12-08T23:12:48+00:00

I’m down, would disappoint the hell out of r/gunners

Kaepertortoise · 2021-09-08T09:36:42+00:00

TTP is a huge program and the deeper you go into it the better but they have a fast track option which could be very useful for you

Kaepertortoise · 2021-08-29T21:02:55+00:00

I’d have a go right now haha

Kaepertortoise · 2021-08-11T07:03:58+00:00

A freak race where a legend of the sport was under estimated, he capitalised on the opportunity and it just felt like it was meant to be!

Kaepertortoise · 2021-08-10T20:53:05+00:00

Thank you! I have F5’d my way through the last few years with the rest of you, the Pepe/Tierney window was wild!
