What about the car though?

Two litre twin cam on carbs IIRC. Runs insanely rich at idle.

Probably because he actually releases content 😂

Yep, they’re all a compromise one way or another. Hard data is difficult to come by, and the same tyre in a different size can perform quite differently to a tested tyre of a certain size.

For UK road driving some of the high performance summer tyres are worse overall in metrics like wet braking than “touring” tyres. A Clio isn’t going to be testing the limits of tyre grip like a two tonne 400bhp+ car. I’m absolutely a tyre nerd but horses for courses. Don’t get kidded by the...

Yeah, new Micra is a R5 under the skin.

Maybe the builder can recommend somewhere? MoT work relies on volume and a lot of places don’t want to deal with anything out of the norm. To me, if the safety equipment is missing and the car is heavily modified for competition use then the warning lights for the missing systems should...

Section 13 of the introduction to the tester’s guide. 👍 https://www.gov.uk/guidance/mot-inspection-manual-for-private-passenger-and-light-commercial-vehicles

Guidelines haven’t changed in quite a while, and a lot depends on how flexible your MoT tester is. If the car is caged and has harnesses then you can try to present it as a rally car and then it doesn’t need airbags etc.

You’ve got a Yeti? You’ve never mentioned it?

Based on the usual naming conventions on the forum surely the groups would be: A) Nonces B) Turbo Nonces C) Super-duper Ultimate Turbo Nonces D) Friends of Andrew Mountbatten Windsor

Three. Million. Pounds.

Hey, my fixings were at least functional.

Yes yes, but when are we going to get photorealistic real time AI p**n women? Chop chop man.

It was less a choice and more a “one of Dad’s friends is selling this and it would make a good first car” IIRC 😂 What a heap of s**t that car was. Although to be fair, at that time most cars over ten years old that had gone round the clock were on borrowed time.

Ahhhh the mighty Cavalier L with the steel wheels that didn’t even have proper wheel trims from the factory, just some centre caps that covered the very middle of the wheels. My first car was an A-reg one that was basically the same as that. I really want another one. I know they’re total...

I suspect it’s because his videos are very long compared to most on YouTube. I like them, but splitting them into “episodes” would probably help him, both with the algorithm and many people’s attention spans.

Timelines are for wusses, it’s more fun to just let people froth about it. With the level of ‘tisms on here it’s basically a spectator sport on it‘s own 😀

He’s devalued the place by £1m just by connecting it with his name.

Lovely colour, would look so much better with silver badges and wheels.

I really hope this doesn’t suck, perfect IP for a game. Hell, most of the films you may as well be watching a playthrough of a video game 😂

Don’t need a tv or upgraded audio. Nope. Definitely not. Probably.

I know there’s a problem with them due to different metals in a bracket around the wheel arch causing the aluminium to oxidise which makes the arches bubble. It was supposed to be fixed in the facelift IIRC but a lot of cars have had paintwork warranty repairs. Not sure if there are other issues...

I saw a comment somewhere from someone who went to view it and it’s allegedly a bit rough. Still some way off for me yet anyway, lots of saving to do.

I’m getting mildly obsessed with the A110. Going to have to get a test drive I think.

You just described my entire life. I think I need a hug

I give up. We have a customer complaint that if they change the name of the license file we provide from license.txt to licence.txt then they get an error saying the system can’t find it and they can’t log on. On the one hand I almost admire the level of pedantic nitpicking needed to do that...

At least the TDC guys are honest, actually came out and said “we bought it anyway, because it would make good content”. I’m really confused about the frothing over the early cars anyway, from reviews when the phase 2 172 came out I’m pretty sure it was supposed to be better in every way. I...
