Someone else that hasn't read Top Gear magazine

It's about two steps up from Max Power.

OK - I was more referencing The Times there, to be honest.

A publication that lets Giles Coren have an opinion column in the news section?

every columnist in the country writes to a 'persona' - because they know what exact opinions they need to express in order to bring in readers.

Yes.

Tam Shields writes an opinion column in the Glesga Herald, but he must mean everything that he writes because it's a serious publication

"Serious publication" != one that lets an uniformed, shortarsed restaurant critic comment on current events.

Does this humourous column serve an explicit, stated purpose of rating and recommending cars to would-be purchasers?

Hometimes!

OK, here's a definition of 'turbo lag' (emphasis added):



In other words it is a BRIEF, TRANSIENT THING as I previously mentioned; it is a function of impeller inertia. You're talking about something completely different - boost threshold - which is nothing whatsoever to do with turbo lag.

Turbo lag has nothing to do with the continuous lack of pulling power at low RPM, in a Mitsi Evo, end of. To describe it as such is to totally and utterly misunderstand what 'turbo lag' even is. End of story.

I've just cancelled seven pre-orders with Amazon because the delivery estimates are all for the Monday after a Friday release, despite choosing first class delivery.

If your interested I can let you know when my Amazon pre-order of DR2 shows up , i just checked my account and its showing 'expected' for the Monday , and it also tells me that i pre-ordered it on the first of August ........ 2009

I fear Cavey may have actually exploded with rage!

Happy Birthday GazChap! Hope you have a nice day x

Meh, not at all mate.
In the nicest possible way, I think you're talking a bunch of arse and are demonstrably wrong. But hey, I'm no stranger to that myself. Welcome to the Losers Club.

Yes, happy birthday Gazchap.

I understand that you are technically correct (which, as we know, is the best kind of correct).
But if JC had said "boost threshold" about eight people in his audience would have known what he was on about, so he used the commonly-wrong phrase "turbo lag" as more people would get that.

And happy Birthday to JC.

I understand that you are technically correct (which, as we know, is the best kind of correct), and I myself understand the difference between lag and boost threshold.

Grim..., earlier today. I believe the expression is 'PWNED'.

Sorry if I missed the news. Must've been buried under talk of cars and phones.

Was there a non-shit series of Transformers comics? I have a very vivid memory of a really excellent collection (possibly an annual), that most notably had a story in it about the white Porsche one (with red and blue stripes - possibly Martini branding?) having a proper falling out with Optimus and hiding under some rubbish. It was actually quite good, and "grown up", rather than being a kiddies comic. There was some sort of schism within the Autobots, or something.

Nope. Mine's fine dude.

I am bored of hotels now.
