Interesting tidbit of news. https://www.motortrend.com/news/data-sharing-insurers-gm-onstar-smart-driver-app/ So, you buy a car, the dealer activates Smart Driver without your knowledge because they get a kickback for signing you up to it. Smart Driver is a service that, on the face of it...

One of my racing buddies is selling his pet project. I think he took one look at the blue book and realised he wasn't getting to enter it lol Ford Small block, genuine Eurocar chassis. It sounds pretty much exactly as you'd expect. It's glorious, thought CS might appreciate...

Hi hi. Missus' 1.4 mk2 has climate control. From what I can tell, everything works - the aircon certainly works brilliantly, the heater blows hot, the flaps move... but for some bizarre reason, if you adjust the temperature (even going to max/min), nothing happens. It keeps on blowing whatever...

So my better half is currently learning to drive, and therefore it’s first car time. What better, then, than a Mk2 Clio? So it’s a 2005 1.4 16V but it’s actually pretty clean. There is like ZERO corrosion underneath, and the engine is absolutely sweet as a nut. It’s even got a sunroof which...

I don’t think he’s going to reply somehow.

Anyone?

If you’re bored and looking for something to watch, Cleetus McFarland is racing 22 Crown Vics with nitrous in a 100 lap race. It’s PPV, but should be good fun. don’t expect amazing production value! www.cleetusmcfarland.com

The original Kerbal was a fun bit of sandboxy light relief. They’ve just announced Kerbal 2... They’ve moved on a bit! If the trailer doesn’t make you want it, then you have a deprived life.

Another winter arrives, and it's that time again. Let's see everybody's muddy motors. Mine's fairly tame so far but plenty of time to go.

I've got a bit of a wanky problem. Started a few days ago. So after a period of time (Anywhere from 10 minutes to several hours) my PC will freeze up for a few seconds, and afterwards I get no internet connection. It states that it's connected, but just no access to the internet. The windoze...

Hi all. Was dicking around with the Volvo earlier. Some of you may remember I had real issues getting fitment right for my Wilwoods - the setup came with 2 piece rotors (see first pic), which were great apart from the fact that the hats were slightly too big, and hit the edge of the pads whilst...

So this year, I was given a frankly excellent opportunity to go to Rally Sweden, for the whole event. It was an escorted tour which was well worth the money as I highly doubt I'd have seen half the stages I saw if I was doing it myself. I took over 2000 pictures over the course of the weekend...

He asked me to post this here. Shame :( Nice car though. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Renault-Clio-182-Both-CUP-Packs-FF-LOTS-OF-EXTRAS-12MONTHS-MOT-190BHP/302561989779

It's that time again. Get 'em up. I've got a feeling this is going to be a good one in the morning when it's dried out.

Went exploring with a mate after watching Bloodhound, and found a little gravel road. I know there's a few scooby lovers on here so thought I'd share. His car needs a little more work to get it perfect (most notably front bumper) but otherwise it's pretty well sorted.

It's coming back, and looking very promising. My main complaint with PCARS one was the beyond-the-limit handling, i.e. Under/oversteer simulation. It looks like they've focused on that and they've brought Vaughn Gittin Jr. on board, which is great news as he's a simracer as well as a pro...

So, went to the Haynes Motor Museum at the weekend. They have a breakfast meet every first Sunday of the month. I'll let the pictures do the talking.

Thought someone might be interested. Prodrive, the motorsport team that runs Aston Martin Racing and made Colin McRae and blue Subaru Imprezas famous, is entering the 2018 FIA World Rallycross Championship. Known as World RX to its fans, the series is expanding rapidly and attracting...

Nobody noticed this? It's PC only but it's good. It's based on the old game 'Rigs Of Rods' where everything was deformable, but it's had a full graphics revamp and the content is a lot better. I wouldn't call it a racing game, it's more of a crash simulator. If you crash, your car will...

New tyre time for the Volvo. Didn't take long, lol. Have AD08Rs on the front at the mo, and whilst they are grippy as fook they're not a great all round tyre. I'd like to go back to a road tyre for better wet performance, and for less noise. My question is what is the comparison like between...

'lo. Popped up to Smeatharpe today. Race car's not back on the road yet so no actual driving, so I took my camera instead to try and get used to it. First time shooting moving cars, and I need to use a bit more aperture with this lens I think as the AF doesn't really focus accurately a lot of...

Looks like Alex from Car Throttle will be running a 182 or 172 next year. I'm not a huge fan of CT but no doubt people will be interested, so I'll try and stick all the videos for what will no doubt be a series, in here. Announced in this video, which also happens to be a comparison between the...

Anyone had experience with both? The PSS on mine are now toast and whilst they have been a great all round tyre, with a decent amount of grip, I'm tempted to pay less for the Federal RS-R, taking the hit on tyre life as a result, but hopefully gaining a bit more grip as well. Is the RS-R...

1:48, who got buzzed by these weapons then?

Hi. You're parked next to my boat. Come down for a cuppa if you're around :up:

Hi folks. Summer is coming which means there will be lots of meets going on, and where there are meets, there are convoys! One of the main problems with convoys is communication. I think we've all been in the situation where we're screaming out the window on the motorway trying to tell someone...

FCUK! Looking like ribs and lungs at the moment. I think his sunstrip says it all!

Just a mini meet for everyone. The plan is to go for a drive during the afternoon (probably dipping into Cornwall and Whitsand Bay), grab a meal and then we might go karting after. Meet at 4pm at Outland Road Morrisons (the farthest side of the carpark from the store). See you then!

Does anyone fancy doing this? The proceeds go to charity. http://www.plymouthherald.co.uk/handle-Devon-burger-15-types-bacon-2-000-calories/story-25846882-detail/story.html
