Hate to do these rants, but this one I feel is very justified.
After a year with sky Insurance, I decided to move to Greenlight (And, after a month with them I had to move to Flux due to neither of them wanting to touch me on a BMW). However, since this time (around November 2014) Sky has...
The Mazda went I'm afraid. I am a bit gutted most days its gone, not as much as I miss the Golf, but the Mazda was in a new dimension of fun. However, as a 6ft 4 guy who seems to spend a lot of times going up and down the bloody A34 it just wore thin a little bit. The revvy engine, tight driving...
So due to spending all my money and effort elsewhere at the moment, I needed a downsize/downgrade from my MK5 GTI. Now nothing will ever compare to that thing but after going on a track day in it, I wanted something more suited.
Enter this, my Mazda. Yes "oh no another MX5". Since I had the...
So, this was a bit better than Edition. Just a bit. Any show that does away with "Show and Shine" And replaces it with old cars and a hill climb wins in my book.

Thought I'd throw up a little video of yesterdays trackday at Bedford organised by the guys at Evo Magazine. This was my first track day, and I was very impressed with how the Golf performed! Spent a lot of time overtaking people, which felt good. (Although, was slightly nerve racking overtaking...
No, unfortunately I didnt take my car out. Last minute trip over to see some friends on a track day up at Silverstone. Was some quite nice motors up there, so thought I'd share the pictures...
The rest are here :)...
"Too Low"
"Can't drive that"
"Ruined"
"Looks Broken"

You have your hobbies, we have ours. These damn lowered vehicles.
So I've finally done something noticeable to the Golf. After finding some wheels I quite liked the look of on Sunday, I found myself in the car going to collect them. By last night I'd not only done that, but fitted coilovers. Funny how things work out.
This is the fronts all the way down, I'm...
Yes, it's that time of year again. The M25 is echoing with the sounds of VTECCC YOOOOO powershifts and I'm in bed having just gotten up.
For those of you who don't know, for the past couple of years we've met up with some Dutch Honda guys over here for Mimms. We met them whilst going ot Heavon...
Once again I find myself nursing tinnitus after being a passenger in Booners 'Vette to a V8UK meet.
First off, an initial meet up at Paragon.

Contains moaning, hangovers, some V8 noise and the ability to either A: Make you want to Visit Germany, or B: Make you want to punch me in the face even more.

Oxford > Nürburgring > Munich > Oxford.
So since I'm hanging out my arse in Munich, thought I'd pop the photos I took from the Nordschleife.
Left on Saturday, early morning, in the stupidly loud Corvette. (Videos to come of gunshot popping and loud MURRRICCAAAA noises).
Quick stop off for some food in Belgium
Corvette C6, the...
Guess what? I went to Ultimate Dickheads for the first time, and here is my report.
First off, we had to clean Zi's car. The night before we put some actual wheels on it, and made sure it actually started and did general car like movements. After all, it had been on axel stands the past 3...
London was pretty quiet this weekend, but its standard winter really. Nothing that amazing about, but thought I'd share what photos I did get. As they are cars after all!

So last year I did a similar thing. Actually, for 2012 I set out to record as much crap as possible. As it turns out, I didn't do an amazing job this year of filming stuff. However, I managed to cobble together this video. I figured it's mostly car related so can fit here. Feel free to move if...
Sorry for the rant, but upon trying to upload a video to Youtube today. I can't help but tear my hair out and scream "Where did it all go wrong!"
Normally, I use Vimeo. The free account allows me to upload up to 500MB a week, at a maximum of 720p. This is fine for most of the stuff I dick...
I know a few of you like my pictures of the random Automotive events I attend etc. So thought I'd share my personal highlights of 2013. I'm not a pro, this is a hobby. But feel free to point out all the flaws in the photo if you really need to ;)!
Guess I better start at the beginning? I did...
Today they had a little super car meet. I didn't take many pictures, but I thought you'd at least like to see the P1.

Thought this was very cool, and worthy of a thread.

Decided to go for a mess about with Booner in the cars on Sunday, and get some noise videos.
Was good fun darting around the country lanes following his Corvette. The only place I could keep up was the corners, his car was pretty unsettled by the combination of uneven and tight roads. Spent a...
Weekend of big crashes in the US. This could have been easily fatal!

Camera man had massive balls, the clip it shows of him getting back up and going straight back to the camera! Utter hero.
Well, after my rants and fedup-ness, I've finally fallen back in love with the car. Nearly a year of ownership, and I cant see me getting rid for a while. The engine is a peach, the chassis is fantastic and I still smile when I look at it. Such a well proportioned car, with great subtle...
As per request, a thread for this insanely addictive (and nerdy) game.
My current achievements are:
1 Satellite in a super spaffy orbit around earth.
Several space craft orbiting the sun, for eternity.
1 Aborted launch which means I have a lander parked near the launchpad.
Looking on...
I didn't take many pictures at the show, as I was busy playing with my new toy! (A GoPro).
So here is a video, and some pictures. Shut up.

So for this years holiday, 4 of us lads decided to do a little roadtrip. We all booked 2 weeks off work, and planned a route that incorporated a bit of everything we all wanted. Me and Richard, being car nuts picked a few things you guys might like. So thought I'd post it up!
This is there...
Okay so for no rhyme or reason my iPhone 5 has started running like a bag of dicks.
No apps in the background open, nothing new added to the phone. Its a 32gb, with a lot of free space left. I've tried completely clearing the inbox, doing a hard reset etc. Whats going on here?
After the sudden downpour up at the Silverstone Classic on Saturday, I got in my car looking like I'd jumped into a pond.
Anyway, I have waterstains all over the thing. The tartan pattern on the seats hide them well, but the armrest looks RANK! Anyway of getting rid of this?
