Yeah it very much felt like he'd sold out a bit. Fair play though, I bet he made some money out of it.
Sadly it sounds like he is going to continue with those group videos. I can't stand them. Just a bunch of pompous t***s whittering. As you say, the earlier ones where it was him talking to...
Of all the cars to build a rig from, what a random choice. Who is spending that much time driving a Volvo in a racing game? Apart from @BoatNonce obviously...
TTs have grown on me a lot lately. I'd really love an RS.
In fact, I'd like an RS almost as much as I wouldn't want one of those stretch-tyre, stanced out things in some of the other pictures :LOL:
I know it's a very dangerous circuit and, if you do enough laps, a crash is inevitable, but surely he should be asking himself some questions by this point? I wonder how many offs the likes of Dale Lomas have had? I get the impression it would be nowhere near as many as this bloke. Don't think...
I've had two and really like them. They're a bit more expensive to maintain than a 1*2 but, overall, I still prefer them. A better blend of practicality and fun in my view at least.
As above, swivel hub bearings are one of the bigger things, along with gearbox syncros. Suspension parts aren't...
Not to be sniffed at these days. Bloody quick cars in the right hands. They'll keep up the super-duper MK2 Escorts with Millington engines which is pretty impressive.
Lancia have announced that they will be returning to rallying, with a Rally4 version of the Ypsilon. Basically, it's a 208/Corsa Rally4 in a Lancia frock, so a 210bhp 1.2 turbo engine, sequential gearbox etc etc. There is talk of them doing a Rally2 version in the future to replace the Citroen...
Was a great episode that. Love Jonny Smith's stuff.
I seem to remember that the Tipo 16v reviewed really well when it was new. Funny how it's been almost completely forgotten now.
It is, but they have grown on me recently. There's something about the Lego-brick looks. My mate rallied one in the early '90s and it looked decent on a set of Compomotive wheels (which he had custom drilled to suit its weird stud pattern :LOL: )
I've got a bit of a soft spot for the Renault 19 and Citroen ZX. Can't be many left now!
How about the MG Maestro EFI and Turbo? Obviously they rusted for fun, but the tubby was a rocketship for the time, and even the regular MG was supposed to drive quite well:
That definitely plays a role, but I think there is more to it. The sheer number of older cars is nuts. I saw more MK1 Puntos in 6 days in Portugal than I've seen in the UK in probably 15 years. That can't just be because of climate. I think we have a slightly different attitude to parts of...
Was at Rally Portugal for work last week and spotted so much random old chod. Every time I go to Europe, it blows my mind how many old cars you see compared to the UK. It's sad really, as it makes us look pretty wasteful.
I reckon Chapman would have been all over this. He was willing enough to do shady deals with DeLorean, so I can't imagine he would have been too shy about selling a fat SUV if it brought in some cash :ROFLMAO:
Netflix
Amazon Prime (though never use the streaming, just have it for deliveries)
Xbox Game Pass
Adobe Creative Cloud (work)
Canva (work)
More than I realised!
Really sad for them. Been following them for a couple of years now, and they've grown so much. We're just putting the finishing touches to the Gallardo and now it's a pile of ash. Genuinely gutted for them, seem like really good guys.
