Nothing other than video of my speedo, and me then cutting the footage from when I hear drive engage as the clutch comes up, to when the needle touches 100 mph. 10 seconds and 10 frames on a 30 FPS timeline. So not really accurate at all. Accurate enough for me to know it's f**king quick though 😁

Ultimately faster but I think it'd be harder to do it. With the PS4s, apart from a little chirp at the beginning, it stayed totally hooked up through 1st gear with full throttle. I'm sure your LSD helped 😁 Remapped it would take a lot more finesse. Not that place, somewhere nearby but can't...

I finally got round to trying a 0-100 mph run yesterday as the sun was setting on my local disused airfield. 10.3 seconds on my one and only attempt. I think I could have shaved another 1/10th off if I tried a few more times and perfected my launch/shifts...but that'll do. It goes alright.

Wow. Rapid!

Gloves are a given in all member's cars. I'd be letting CS down if I didn't.

I'd really like that! The logistics will take some planning, I've a couple of other member's cars I'm hoping to film in so maybe I'll plan a road trip around the UK next year and get them all done in a week. Don't sell it!

That's the saddest thing I've seen for a while.

They were white goods, I knew nothing about cars whatsoever other than what I saw on Top Gear (the old 90s version). When I bought the V6 Mondeo I thought 'made it', proper baller, then I got left for dead by a Saxo 🤣 I was kinda glad we got by ok with the Focus, left me with free reign when...

There's probably less cars in here than some members own in 3 months 🤣

Internal Combustion Engine.

I've only skimmed through it so far as I'm trying to render my latest video and my PC's taking an age, but I echo everything said by @RuskiWeldShit above. B roll footage is your friend, b roll, b roll, b roll. If you want to cut down the workload on editing and your PC, multiple stills with a...

I've genuine sadness that I couldn't buy this from you. Genuine. 100%. Sniff.

That reminds me of my old one although mine didn't have the Cup chassis. I'd love a proper thrash in one again.

I've been following the leaks, does look like it could be a solid iPhone SE beater. £350 with 128GB for a start. But, unless my Pixel 2 dies, I'm not changing. Honestly, I need nothing more from a phone than this thing consistently gives me. The fact that it's a refurbed replacement unit direct...

Figuratively speaking, I did the right thing and pulled out at the last second. No harm done, and I'm so glad I did 😁

I had the luxury of an oil temp gauge on the Focus RS and on my 13 mile commute I hit mile 9 or 10 before the oil was up to temp. It made it very clear to me that low miles isn't all that...most low mileage cars have spent their entire life running with cold oil!

I guess these don't have an LSD? They're a bit lively regardless?

Agreed 100%. It's a great phone, very good value...if they release a Max SE and my Pixel died I'd have another go at iOS. Such good value for such a little powerhouse of a phone.

Anyway, back OT, iPhone SE. Thoughts? A superb handset with a tiny screen.

I was Google Play all the way...but Megan needed Spotify, had a student trial, then we worked out full membership for yo fam was just a few £s more. Now we're all hooked. Love it.

You know me. My need for a solid satnav is very limited...I just want it more for music...and the inbuilt Spotify app on iDrive works from my Android handset very well indeed. I think that's enough for me.

They all worked! They just weren't as accessible or integrated as a I touched upon. Really, I could or should have stopped the list above at point 1. I completely agree but the accountant in me was also a big factor; my Pixel 2 XL wasn't bust so it didn't need fixing. The 6 days I lived...

As an update on this, after less than a week, it was boxed up and then returned for a full refund. Why? 1. It turns out that my Pixel 2 XL charging port hadn't bust again; seeing someone else's fluff they'd picked out of their USB-C port prompted me to do the same and, hey presto, it worked...

The Ford RS bubble that I lived in for a year and a half is a very strange place. Over the time that I put 19,000 miles on mine, someone else put 400 miles on his, and I was called out for not being a true enthusiast because I spoke out about the engine being made of cheese. I had more seat...

First... Current (although I'm not sure the term 'hot-hatch' really applies)...

I will! (when I'm happy I can wring every ounce of performance out of it and still be left wanting)

Exactly. Another year with an LSD equipped rear wheel driven 360bhp 1,400 kg car is no real hardship tbh. a power increase is only an app download and insurance call away after all. It's a slippery slope though. a remap is likely to be the start of spending tons of money on things the car...

LOL you beat me to it... Reading a lot of the comments (which is primarily why I made this one) has made me shift position completely. I did have my finger poised over the "buy" button for MHD. My insurance renews next weekend so I thought, boom, let's 'ave it. 430bhp. Why not? Now, again...

Ewwwww....

That was cut in as a late last minute afterthought...otherwise I'd have said exactly this on the video. Everyone else, super impressed, totally in awe, laughing out loud. Jeff simply; cool as f**k, yeah whatever. Yours is an LCI2 model? With the 'digital' dials? It was an addition on the...
