| I checked an online tyre size calculator and it showed those tyres only have a 7.5% bigger circumference than the 'standard' 235/65/17. Surely that won't increase the loads on the drivetrain by much a ... |

Am really loving the look 
Will the tyres rub the arches on the bumpy stuff? Maybe a suspension lift as the next mod? |

On my old Imprezza those were fog lights (standard fitment from when I had the car new). Don't know if all Imprezzas were the same as mine though.
Back to topic though, I thought it was only dippe ... |

| When we bought my wife's Mini last year they were charging 2% for their PCPs. Made more sense to leave the cash in the ISAs and get the car on the PCP. The money didn't stay in the bank for much longe ... |

Congratulations!
I had 18 years of TVR ownership, 13 years with a 420 SEAC and the rest with a T350c which I had from new. During that time I only had a single breakdown. It was a big one though, t ... |

| Interesting that the cheapest DS is more than the cheapest Evoque. Seems odd given that the Evoque sits in the more 'premium' product line. I guess this means there will be lower spec DS models to com ... |

I'm pretty sure you'll lose auto focus if you put a teleconverter on your 55-200 lens (certainly for Canon cameras you need an f/2.8 lens to keep AF with a x2 converter).
I used to have a Sigma 120 ... |
