I've worked with them too. Manufacturers might spend huge chunks on market research, but that doesn't mean they always make good decisions. Remember Ford's Vignale idea a few years ago? Infiniti arriving in the UK and quickly disappearing again? Don't get me wrong, there is obviously big...

Really don't get why people thought Taylor was the 'talent' on the AA channel. I always thought he came across as a bit of a bell end. He's like that one annoying c**t in your social group who spouts endless b****cks and tries to desperately to act like a lad. Pretty funny that they've basically...

That's absolutely true....to an extent. Obviously demand for faux-SUVs has exploded over the last decade-or-so, but I do think a little caution is required. After all, Ford told us that demand had dropped for the Fiesta because people were buying the Puma, but what was really happening was that...

When I heard an interview with the two from TDC, I got the sense that Alex pretty much owns them. They made it sound like they worked for him, but perhaps that was just the way it came across.

Yes really. I know us Brits have wanked ourselves into a frenzy over this whole crossover nonsense, but I still think they're s**t and pointless.

Looks alright, but wish we could ditch this silly trend of trying to make everything look like an SUV. It would look 100% better if the ride height was more sensible.

"It really impacted my mental health" is the go-to when any YouTuber/influencer gets found out for doing something dodgy these days. They play it to try and win sympathy. Having watched the video, it seems like the guy who did the work tried to be reasonable, but it was a mistake to open...

What I don't understand about Ford is that they're releasing cars that all do basically the same job. In the last few years, they've released the Mustang Mach-E, the electric Explorer and now this Capri. They're all a similar size and all a similar price, so how are they doing anything other...

I guess they might as well put E-Types in the showroom now Jaguar have stopped making cars :ROFLMAO:

Yeah I was the same. I don't mind some of the older cars with stupendously low mileage, as they might have an interesting story behind them but, if you've reached a point where you're buying brand new cars and rolling them out of the dealership and into a museum, some of the magic is lost.

You are - sadly - mistaken. He has also had it on 19" replicas of the standard wheels, which look cartoonishly large: Or there are these two, which are an exercise in choosing wheels that don't suit the lines of the car in the slightest (and air ride on an Escort Cosworth just baffles me).

In fairness, it was a factory option to delete the whale tail and adjustable front splitter on the later, small turbo cars, so it is kind of OEM. It doesn't look bad as such, but it definitely looks like there is something missing.

I follow him on Instagram. Can never make my mind up if I like the whale tail delete. Looks ok, but it also feels like it's removing one of the cars signature features. Louvres definitely look shite though. They don't suit it in the slightest.

Following with interest! I'd really like to have a go at a targa at some point. Have a few friends that do them and they look a lot of fun.

Interesting that he's sticking the knife into DT so openly. Not sure what to make of the Ford guy to be honest. Wasn't he also involved in "restoring" the pink ex-Max Power Escort? That all went south too as I recall. I can't say I'm surprised that DT tried to screw them though. Fernie knows...

Aside from a few diehards, I don't think so. Books and vinyl have seen something of a resurgence, but I think they're slightly different. Both offer a more tactile and engaging experience than their digital counterparts. For films, I think people generally just want convenience, and streaming...

I bet that wobbles like jelly at the slightest hit of a corner. I bet it's also hilariously good fun to cruise about in.

Saw this yesterday. Really young guy driving it too.

That's lovely. Really want a Cayman at some point. Would have one over most 911s

The UK is motoring Nirvana compared to this place. If it's not potholes the size of a moon crater, its completely unmarked speed bumps that even a standard car can bottom out on. And that's before you even get to the driving standards, or lack thereof.

I think that might just be an illusion, though I think they're set to 0 degrees from the factory. There is a little bit of wriggle room in the front damper bolts by the looks of it, so might try to max it out when the springs go on. The entirety of this country is a four-wheel drive track to be...

I had a bit of a road trip to a site around 1hr outside of Jeddah on Friday, as a friend of mine is involved with a project to set up a new drifting/drag racing venue and he wanted to show it to us. A few stills of the Pug grabbed from some video (see @Waitey, there is sun here) : It...

And fitted: Definitely needs lowering, but Eibach only make the springs to order as no one modifies these, so still waiting for them.

I think that's just who they are though. It's an experiment, a bit of fun, something for them to try things with. They're doing it because they can, not because it's necessarily the best way to do things. Let's face it, if they'd set out to build the best car ever, they wouldn't have built a...

I mean, basically the whole project and video series is overcomplicated nonsense. There are YouTubers out there that have probably built 50 cars in the time it's taken BOM to get this far, so I don't think anyone should be surprised that they're still f**king about on stupid s**t.

I think the thing to remember is that it's experimental, and a lot of it is done just to see if it can be done that way, or if they can do it. At the end of the day, it's still a hobby project, not an F1 car, so I can't begrudge them doing it their own way. The timescale is getting a bit old...

I mainly do stuff on YT/Instagram: www.youtube.com/@maximumattackrallying www.instagram.com/maximumattackrallying I did work for DirtFish.com for a few months, but it wasn't really for me. I prefer doing my own thing, though I do occasionally do some freelance for them among others. Got some...

Drivetribe was a car crash from day one. I was selected as one of the initial batch of content creators. They made loads of promises but it became apparent almost instantly that it was a c**k-up. They spunked all their money on fancy offices in central London, an army of software people, and on...

Don't you live up north? You should be used to the misery of the darkness.

Thought I might as well update this, as had the car almost 11 months. It's been faultless to be honest. Does the daily grind perfectly well, so no real complaints. The auto 'box can be a bit clunky, but it's ok overall. I'd still prefer a manual but ho hum. Most impressive thing is probably the...
