    FK8 2021 FK8 Stereo options missing

    Hi all, I have a 2021 MMC FK8 and have noticed the Entertainment system is missing some features that the 2017 model has. For example there does not appear to be an option for Loudness (forget the proper name). This option used to live in the same screen as the adjustment of volume at speed...

    FK8 Track Day Wheels

    Hi all, As a regular track day attendee I like to have a 2nd set of wheels to run my track tyres, that I can swap over. This helps preserve the road tyres and the OEM wheels. On my FK2 I ran Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.3 in 19" with 245/35 tyres. The FK8 runs on 245/30 ZR20 as standard and I am...

    Honda S660 (S1000)

    Hi all, I have been monitoring this little car since it was unveiled in Japan. The rumors are that the UK and Europe will be getting a 1000cc 127bhp model which would put it in direct competition with the new MX5 (also a great car) 1st quarter 2018 so we should start seeing information soon...

    Driving to Stanstead Airport on Sunday my first alert light appeared. I was cruising at around 70mph when it popped up on the info panel.
