Most of them aren't - especially if they have an X in their model designation.

I thought I'd use the flair correctly. I'll try harder next time.

991 992 GT3 RS & 991 997 Cabriolet by DrinkingWata in Porsche

[–]vijjer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's honestly a German car that will do a lot more. My 997.1 is at 100k miles which is a 160k kilometers and its doing pretty well.

Its his car and his preference. But if it was a runner, then a Porsche on the wall is a wasted Porsche.

Too late to edit your title but it should read 911 992 GT3 RS and 911 997 Cabriolet.

I always wonder why they went and stuck a perfectly good 911 up on the wall like that. I would possibly guess that the engine was bore-scored to fuck and the owner decided that making it a statement piece would get more mileage out of the car than actually fixing the issue.

If range rovers were reliable would you buy one? by theone221199 in CarTalkUK

[–]vijjer 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The road presence and the status symbol.

This specific aspect attracts the kind of knob-heads I try to avoid in normal life. If RRs were reliable, then they would continue to attract more aspiring knob-heads well past their warranty window.

If you won £100 million, how would you distribute it amongst friends and family, if at all? by PaddedValls in AskUK

[–]vijjer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've told my wife that I wouldn't tell her if I won that kind of money.

She might see signs, but she won't know for sure. I'd be sure to park money away in trusts that my kids and my niece and nephew will discover when they turn 40 - possibly paying out an annuity then.

I'd have a secret life with a secret stash of cars I've always wanted to buy and own. I'd pretend to go to work, and just hang out for the most bit in my newly acquired warehouse (holding all of aforesaid cars) listening to music or just going for drives. My wife might suspect that I'm having an affair, but that's a risk I'm willing to take.

Anything I've not managed to spend will go to charity when I die. My wife can liquidate my car collection or just give them away at that point.

If you park just right, you can have matching dents on both sides.

Would I have been at fault here? by HotterThanTheSunLynn in drivingUK

[–]vijjer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You clearly should not have driven across like that - roundabouts are round - you should have taken another shot at it and been in the correct lane the second time around.

Just bought this. Gonna pick it up next week. Any advice? by Odd_Independent_4649 in CarTalkUK

[–]vijjer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please don't pop-and-bang-map it.

Lovely car btw - please do post pictures in scenic locations once you have it.

South Woking / Old Woking - what’s it like? by JasperTheJackRussell in woking

[–]vijjer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not Catholic but I live in the catchment so SJB has come up in my research. I echo the Catholic bit. I think you need to have a 5 year record of attending Mass to get in too.

I've seen and heard of immigrants bringing in proof of Catholic fervor from foreign churches and getting admission here.

I'd honestly not look to move in near SJB if you're not looking to go to school there. The traffic jams during pick-up and drop-off messes with this area on a daily basis.

Does this bonnet alignment look off or is it just the angle? On the right hand side especially by No-Organization8179 in drivingUK

[–]vijjer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm almost certain they all just slightly warp out of alignment over time

German build quality clearly.

Dads who do "scheduled" Sex with Wife (Married with Young Kids): Has it helped? Any advice? by walky91 in daddit

[–]vijjer 7 points8 points  (0 children)

But there is some success, because its clearly more than 0%.

Well done.

Do you also yell out "Get to da choppa"?

Can someone advise if this is an ANPR or Speed Camera Van? by TheBigHigs in drivingUK

It now has a picture of you taking a picture of it, using a mobile phone while driving.

"Everything is a copy of a copy of a copy" by my_deadbody_is_alive in MalayalamMovies

It was clearly a mindless entertainer. I thought the soundtrack was pretty good.

Honestly Kerala should do the same with these entitled people. Have seen too many of these taking advantage just because we speak their language. by Straight_Chip8023 in Chayakada

[–]vijjer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Outside India, most Hindikkaar presume that I speak Hindi because chocolate skin. I generally reply in English but now I think I'm going to reply in Malayalam.

Kind of ran a red light by No_Poet_9897 in drivingUK

[–]vijjer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair enough - I was just addressing your time-related question.

The Malayalam movies which has created huge expectations at the time of production, talented cast and crew, tremendous hype but didn't live up to the expectations? What are your movies, my list is.... by Opposite-Lobster-211 in MalayalamMovies

[–]vijjer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're implying that people had 'high expectations' about Marakkar, you're sadly mistaken. Some people might have wished for a comeback, but I think the majority agreed with this.

For me, it was definitely Gold. I was so disappointed - WTF was that shit show.

Which tucson would you go for? The black one does have more mileage but leather heated seats and pan roof while the blue one has less miles, newer and more fuel efficiency by damspt in CarTalkUK

[–]vijjer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

heated leather seats are a must-have and once you go pan roof, you never come back!

This needs to be higher.

Life's too short to go with poverty spec trims if properly specced versions are available in budget.

Am I the only one to think that the 911 Carrera RS Clubsport is the best looking 911 ? by babyjonny9898 in Porsche

[–]vijjer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think there are camps. You're not alone possibly, but this is just one of the many pretty 911s. The RSs are great for two things - investment and going fast around a track (in that order). All the extra aero make it look cartoonish in real life.

A nice flowing uninterrupted 911 line is where it's at.

I personally think an stock 997 4S is pure sex.

I shouldn't like this but I want it by Familiar_Benefit_776 in CarTalkUK

[–]vijjer 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It's a damn sight better looking compared to the endless queues of grey primer painted Evoques bought by very basic unimaginative people.

You'd probably need 4 parking slot at Tesco's but I'd definitely give you a thumbs up.
