Turinis or anthracite EVO Corse for me.

I like the i20 N. Not the best looker from the rear, but seemed a capable car. Such a shame Hyundai canned all the ICE N models for the UK market.

I reckon it's probably a Chasseur or something. Looks a similar colour to the blue offered on those. Basically one of the run-out models made near the end of production.

If the car is in good condition, I wouldn't worry too much to be honest. If you're going from central-ish UK, it's only a 1,000 mile road trip, so any car in reasonable shape shouldn't struggle with that. Like you say, if you're taking it steady on your laps, you shouldn't do any harm there...

I'm leaning towards rep. Was it on a K-plate? Hard to tell from the picture but, if so, it's probably a rep, as blue wasn't offered on 4x4s. You could get two-wheel drive ones in Crystal Blue, but this looks too dark for that. Unless it's been painted obviously...

Definitely. I redid all the branding for my channel a few months ago, had what I thought were really clean, good looking thumbnails, but I've had to start putting faces on them (not mine for the most part thankfully) as it does make a real difference. The need to be clickbait-y is really...

Outside the gym on Tuesday... Green wouldn't be my first choice but otherwise....wibble. What a thing. Probably the best looking of all the 911s in my view.

That's pure algorithm s**t right there. Having someone pulling a stupid face in the thumbnail makes the video do better sadly.

That looks lovely. Makes me miss mine. I really would like another one, and probably should before they get too expensive. As for modifications, 100% change the airbox and map it. They sound great with the right intake modifications. I'd like to drive one with Group N timing to see what it's like.

Reminds me of the Renault 25 my old man had when I passed my test. He put me on the insurance and I thought I was the boss, driving round in a car with a 2.9-litre V6. It wasn't actually very fast, but was quicker than what most 17-year olds were driving at the time. He wanted a Safrane, but...

If you want something of a similar nature but a bit more modern, I'd be looking at a Megane 250/265/275, or a MK7 Fiesta ST. Both a bit less frantic, but better every day cars while still being a lot of fun.

I suspect that will start to happen with a lot of these channels if they're not careful. There are only so many times people want to watch someone buy a s**t example of a car and fire a parts cannon at it, with a Car Vertical ad thrown in for good measure too of course.

I'm getting so bored of the "I've bought the cheapest/shittest/oldest/fastest/crashest in the world" videos. I actually like videos of cars being rebuilt, restored or modified, but the likes of TDC and AA doing the same video over and over and over and over and over again with a slightly...

Wheels look nice! I'm not a fan of any of the OEM wheel options, so these are a big improvement!

Isn't that Uno Turbo the one that was on Car SOS?

Yep, a Del Sol. My mum has had two of them.

Doesn't surprise me. Someone I follow on socials bought the pink ex-Max Power Escort from him. It was a bit of a mess, and he'd lied endlessly about the spec/condition of it. Makes me wonder what kind of shape the cars he gives away are in.

His Instagram feed is just full of competition stuff, so maybe he is focusing on giveaway cars. Always struggled with him a bit to be honest. Another of the ones who drives like an absolute weapon on camera.

Love the SCCON sticker. That is one deeply '80s club logo!

It's been a good while since I've been there to be honest, but it does seem to have plenty of in-field etc. to work with. That said, most of the UK circuits now host stage rallies, so you'd think they could use a similar layout to the stages they use there. Guess it comes down to cost though...

I really like the idea of those rally track days. It's a shame more circuits don't offer them.

This is the thing I have noticed. For some reason, when I've painted stuff with a gun and compressor, it has been wayyyyyy more durable than stuff done with rattle cans.

About $13k all-in. That's with upgraded pistons and rods etc.

Minor update; he showed me the quote for his new 454ci engine :ROFLMAO:

Not sure if this is the right thread but f**k it. A colleague took me out in this yesterday, as he is super proud of what he's done to it. It's had a 6.2-litre engine swap (I think it was 5.3 as standard), then he's added a different cam, long tube manifolds and a different inlet manifold. He's...

Looks nice that. I'd still like a relatively standard 172 Cup as a weekend toy. So many good memories of my old one.

I struggle a bit with Ben Collins' stuff. He's obviously a handy driver, and isn't terrible on camera, but he knows so little about cars it's almost painful. I watched one of his videos the other day where he was talking about hydraulic handbrakes and said they were different because they work...

Love it. I think the one I drove was around 160bhp, but still felt spritely. I knew a few people that jumped from modified RS Turbos to Cossies and were disappointed until they started modifying them. I got a ride in Christian Major's S2 RS Turbo once, during the era when they were going for...

The first hot hatch I ever drove was a Fiesta RS Turbo. It had been chipped and had a couple of other bits and felt like a rocket at the time, as well as sounding really good. They get a bit of stick for not handling well, but I think they're still super desirable. A proper little tearaway of a car.

I'm amazed the track operators haven't told him to do one to be honest. He seems like a total liability.
