Yeah but i'm not hooning down them like Lewis Hamilton, I know I can crash on any track in the UK, but at least I can learn UK tracks within a couple of laps, there's no way i'd be able to learn the ring, even if I had it on the playstation and learnt the layout, I still think i'd be sh*tting...

UK roads don't suddenly have a blind 90 degree bend when you're doing 150mph.

Yep, I have no desire to drive round that track at all.

2026

Must be the longest car build in history, can't help but think they'd had finished by now if they didn't spend so long faffing about with what biscuits to have with the 4000 cups of tea they have every day.

Bit of a sh*t episode tbh. Also i'm getting sick of them promoting the MotorTrend+ channel when it's not available outside north America, yanks just don't seem to get that other countries exist.

Ahh right, i'll find somewhere to park up if i'm early, I want to be in the area before rush hour kicks in.

Is there a restriction on how early you can show up, i'm not talking 9am or anything, more like 1/2pm, Friday traffic is a b*tch late afternoon.

Is that a euphemism?

Yeah getting set up Friday evening, having some grub and a few beers, then wake up ready to go Saturday morning is the way to go, as long as you don't get sh*t faced and feel wasted for half the day like I did you'll be fine, although a hell ride in Sam's weaponised track car woke me up big time.

That Firebird was the last vid on Petrolicious.

Pretty much everything Mike Musto reviews on Big Muscle is next level awesome.

There you go, enjoy.

^^^That is the meanest GTO i've ever seen, a lot of the time yanks can ruin nice cars with too much chrome and horrific wheels, but who ever built that knew what the soul of that car needed to express itself, just brutal looking.

I'll still pull harder after 5.5k but the power curve will be a bit more smoothed out, so the kick won't be as big compared to standard.

Quite a big difference from 1-5k rpm, you'll finally have some grunt where before you had none, all I have power wise is an Espace V6 airbox and decent 2.5" exhaust, I put my cars map back to standard once because i'd got so used to the 98ron map id forgotton what it felt like standard, what it...

Yes it's worth it as it's a generic map so will work the same with a standard car or one with exhaust, induction kit and other mods.

I've started thinking the back looks slightly lower than normal, the shocks are fine, they don't bounce and they're not leaking, but the lower stance could be the cause of the remaining rubbing, i'm going to take the spare out the boot and see if it goes away, tbh I didn't hear any rubbing at...

I honestly thought you'd broken you hand.

Finding a JC5 130 that doesn't leak will be the hard bit. One thing yesterday taught me is i'm not cut out to be a mechanic, i'm not a real man.

Accurate though.

Big, loud, dirty, ugly lucking, yep that's a bit of me alright.

If he'd had known how much of ball ache the job was going to be I think he'd have told me to f*ck off too, luckily I bribed him with a 6 pack of DR Pepper, I also gave the garage owner 2 bottles of Ale for letting us use his sh*t, he's the Dad of Ryans girlfriend so we need to keep him sweet...

Planted, it's amazing how used you can get to how a car feels on knackered parts, with new bushes and ball joints it's back to how it should handle, i'd almost forgotten how good these things are through a series of S-bends.

So it turns out my old bushes had indeed seen better days. Sadly I forgot to get photos of the new bushes while it was on the lift, so this was the best I could do with it on the ground. What a monumental pain in the arse that job was, even with an entire fully equipped garage it still...

As much as I love all the exotica you posted, I think this is quite possibly the coolest car you could roll around in.

Yeah that's not going to polish out.
