F*** you moron magnet 😘

That ride height needs to stay exactly as it is.

Yep. I ruined my 172 Cup in the pursuit of making it as fast as possible round a track. I've learned from that mistake.

My take on tyres is this...and I'm no expert, but what I've learned is that few people really understand how tyres work and what they're meant to do. Worn out sidewalls? You're running them under-inflated or being too aggressive with your turn-in phase. Understeer? Normally driver induced...

You'd be wrong! I don't get fun from being fast, I get fun from driving my car as close the limit as I dare. That limit changes based upon what tyres I'm running, but the fun is still there, I may just be going slower while having it.

I don't do estates, or looks, but if I had to have an estate, I'd have one of these on looks alone. There's just something about them that looks right.

That's another thing I noticed as I opened the door along with the throttle pedal, the red line. Every turbo car I've had barely exceeds 7k, this thing from way on way back hits almost 8k!

Do you keep an eye on your data in the Creator Studio? You have 40k watch-time minutes over the last 12 months? I'd have thought so because you videos are a good length and will likely retain viewers. The 1k subs means monetization. Be under no illusions though, until you get MASSIVE, the...

It's a grind @Jaff. I now routinely drop subscribers with each video upload and then over the week following gain them back along with some new additions. YT is, along with the viewing public, a funny thing though...unpredictable! You just have to keep plugging away.

That'll do! 😁👍

Is that a prancing Elk?

Another day, another lap comparison...

Watching the latter part of this makes me smile.

I didn't notice this when I was there... that strut brace, is it real carbon fibre?

The first thing I saw when he opened the door was the flared throttle pedal. Big smile.

He said I'll be surprised at the gears, changing down for a sharpish bend is going for 4th not 3rd, or 3rd instead of the usual 2nd etc.

I forgot, both front seats are embroidered with '555'. He's also happy for me to show the plate - P555 BYE

Oh, and it still has the flare in the passenger footwell, I never even knew they were a thing!

I saw it last night, it's immaculate. Apart from a few red Samco hoses under the bonnet, a Bluetooth headunit, a complete replacement MPH dials cluster, and some different tyres, it is as it left the factory. He has the original headunit (with a remote control?), original dials, and the tyres...

Aerodynamics a la Metro 6R4 IIRC.

I won't be filming it for a while. For something so special it deserves lots of planning and flawless production.

It'll be the first car with a hydraulic rack I've driven since 2013! I'm really looking forward to it! I'm going to see it and have a chat with the chap tomorrow night.

Ok, quite special then. He said it's a Version 3? From what I've read, 280ps, 1,200 kgs, shorter gearing.

I've been offered a drive in this thing...I know nothing at all when it comes to these but I believe it's quite a special one. The owner's had it for 10 years now and it seems to be completely original...still running the factory exhaust. What do I need to know about it? He said it's a type R...

That's horrendous, in all aspects. Nothing more needs to be said.

F***ing hell. Wind deflectors are bad enough but putting a bright highlight on them just further amplifies their sh*tness.

@Jeff simply copying my lines, grrrr. 😘

In the anchor point that doesn't have the GoPro mount screwed into it? Or, like they do at Goodwood, in your glovebox. It's not a 'requirement' to have it fitted, they don't know if they're going to need to pull your car from the tyre wall from the front or back anchor point, so have it to hand...

Testing out my recent purchase :D All I need now is to find a circuit that lets me use it!
