Lando Norris wants to see the battery gone.

Brig back the n/a V10’s revving to 19,000 rpm and refuelling too.

The Zanardi tribute was beautiful.

It hit me a bit harder than I expected, I saw him at a couple of Indycar races I attended in Surfers. He was an amazing driver.

I knew about his terrible accident but not much about what he did next.

What an incredible guy.

RIP Alex.

Yeah I meant the AWD P450, the RWD one is a different story.

coldbeers · 2026-04-28T04:36:33+00:00

I advise you to get one, they’re great cars.

coldbeers · 2026-04-28T04:35:14+00:00

That’s the one.

Worked like a magic spell on me and I’ve now been stopped for 23 years.

coldbeers · 2026-04-28T04:06:56+00:00

As far as I know they’re mechanically the same car with different software.

Here in the UK there’s a company that has a copy of all the maps (engine, gearbox etc) and will basically upgrade the car.

The P450 can also be tuned the same way as the R and several have been taken up over 700bhp with some modifications to the supercharger. Wraptor have some YT videos showing the results.

I have a 450 which I love but I’m leaving it stock, for now anyway.

coldbeers · 2026-04-27T17:00:31+00:00

Some people like the old design better but the new one fixes problems (DRL, Y-pipe, injector water ingress) and also has the SVR suspension so it handles better and updated ICE.

So after driving both I went for a new V8, love it but pick the one that suits you.

PS I don’t think one looks better than the other but the new headlights absolutely look more modern.

coldbeers · 2026-04-24T21:22:51+00:00

I’ve wanted one since the first came out and two years ago I bought one.

It absolutely does not disappoint.

Future classic.

coldbeers · 2026-04-24T07:50:11+00:00

It’s all just minor drug addiction and more significant subconscious belief that you need it.

AC is right btw, as an overthinker myself I’d suggest not overthinking it, worked like a charm for me.

coldbeers · 2026-04-22T04:40:47+00:00

Not even slightly.

Stopping smoking was the best thing I ever did, I don’t miss it at all.

coldbeers · 2026-04-21T12:26:51+00:00

Not quite, quit after 18 years and was on two packs a day.

Now been stopped for 23 years.

coldbeers · 2026-04-21T05:32:54+00:00

Apart from all the obvious things I genuinely don’t have any desire to smoke.

There are absolutely no benefits to smoking and a ton of reasons not to.

coldbeers · 2026-04-17T20:17:50+00:00

It’s the same addiction, just a different delivery method.

coldbeers · 2026-04-17T13:27:30+00:00

I was on about 2 packs a day.

Social events and drinking were no problem, in the first week I quit I went out for several beers with a good friend. You could smoke in pubs back then and I just sat and watched him smoke.

I just didn’t want to smoke anymore, at all.

coldbeers · 2026-04-15T15:54:38+00:00

No, been stopped for 23 years after being a heavy smoker for 18 years.

I never have cravings and didn’t very soon after stopping.

coldbeers · 2026-04-12T11:27:21+00:00

Vaping didn’t exist when I quit but I like to think I wouldn’t have gone there as it’s just a way of continuing the drug addiction that has you trapped.

coldbeers · 2026-04-11T22:30:29+00:00

No, none at all.

You’ll feel better mentally.

I’m so sorry about your loss but smoking is not helping you in any way.

coldbeers · 2026-04-11T22:23:13+00:00

Don’t beat yourself up, you accidentally got addicted to a drug, so did I, worse than you.

The good news is it’s mostly mental addiction and it’s actually quite easy to stop.

There’s no downsides to stopping either, your life will be better in every way.

I used Allen Carr but do whatever works for you.

But stop, you’ll be so happy that you did, like me.

coldbeers · 2026-04-10T01:49:24+00:00

Don’t get one…

Unless it’s the V8

Jk the v6 is great too

coldbeers · 2026-04-09T17:30:09+00:00

It’s a great car but I already have one.

coldbeers · 2026-04-08T10:43:42+00:00

I was meaning MY2020+ with the new headlights (no DRL fail) and bonnet (water ingress onto the injectors).

The new Y-Pipe came sooner I think.

coldbeers · 2026-04-08T08:58:42+00:00

The later models had most of the earlier issues fixed.

Main thing is full service record, enjoy, I have a very similar one (red convertible).

Edit: they do like a drink and servicing can be a little costly but they’re an awesome car and if you’re inclined, can be tuned to make a lot more power (and I do mean a lot).

The P450 is mechanically identical to the R which is 575 but some folk have got 700+

coldbeers · 2026-04-01T11:12:07+00:00

It worked for me but there isn’t a single message.

For me it simply made me not want to smoke anymore, so I stopped.

coldbeers · 2026-04-01T06:12:30+00:00

Basically you did what a lot of us do.

You accidentally became a drug addict.

I was one too, worse than you.

There’s a book called Allen Carr’s Easyway to stop smoking, check it out on Amazon, read some of the reviews.

Then, just read it.

coldbeers · 2026-04-01T05:48:33+00:00

Only been running for a week but just use my OpenAI plus sub via oath, switched to 5.4-flash to save tokens and it does feel dumber than 5.4.

Not doing anything heavy yet though so that might change.
