I also know they do a lot of prom drives to make a bit of cash too.

I bet they do.

To each their own, I know the guy with all the stickers and rally lights and he runs a club so the car is a good rallying point for everyone as it stands out enough. I.e just follow the max focus when convoying somewhere etc. I also know they do a lot of prom drives to make a bit of cash too.

Bit hard to criticise these clubs for having 100 orange Ford Focus on stand though. When it’s the most popular colour of a particular genre and there were only a handful of choices to begin with you’re going to sell the same car to lots of people. If that bothers him then you have to limit who can take their car to the show and then the show will eventually just die off.

Plus there are literally owners groups called “orange focus owners club” where you only get in if you have an orange focus lol.

All in all, despite some people smashing their car through Halfords, which happens with every car group I struggle to take his critique seriously.

It's not often that @Jaff. and I agree, but this. I don't see the harm in it. Given some of the silly diffusers and splitters people nail to Clios, and the fact that people all buy the same wheels, we're probably not in any position to comment

Wholeheartedly agree, I was referring to cars with Deadpool on the side/cartoon character themed/painted with actual glitter, rather than the groups of ‘same’ car.

It's just different styles. Go to Japan and you'll find plenty of modified cars with anime wraps. It's not for me, but to each his own.

Just watching the new AutoAlex vid and Rory is even more infuriating in this one

I can't wait for them to f**k him off

It’s annoying because I have to mute the videos when he’s on.

I don’t know how they deal with it, I’d lose my rag and end up telling him to stfu, maybe he’s a different character off camera.

I enjoyed this review very much. I toyed with buying a Mk4 Focus ST when they came out and this looks even better.
Also is Tyred Format a CS regular?

Helloooo!

Yea that’s me. Glad you enjoyed it! I’m a massive VW snob but that thing was a hoot. Really liked it.

 

[McGherkin]

Mentour Pilot

Not really sure why I watch but he basically goes through plane crashes and explains what happened.

I always think of him every time I board a plane, wondering if the hydraulics for the horizontal stabilizer are working correctly 😂

 

[hopgop1]

Holy s**t the moment at 20:00, if you get 30 seconds watch that section of the video.

I do wonder at what point Misha goes too far, obviously a very skilled driver and probably knows the Nordschleife like no other, but all it takes is for a car to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

He’s been pushing way too hard lately. I don’t think he comprehends the closing speeds between himself and people in much slower cars who are often not very experienced and are just driving the Ring as a tick on the bucket list. The massive closing speeds mean people have a fraction of a second to see him coming let alone react, and Misha doesn’t leave room for the cars he’s passing to overtake each other so if they don’t see him it becomes very dicey.

I think he feels he has something to prove since it’s essentially this content that got him the drive alongside Jimmy Broadbent etc.

Shame but it’s going to lead to a big shunt soon.

 

[Starlet_gt]

Didn't he crash his GR86 the other day?

 

[McGherkin]

Tbf I think that was mechanical failure, car just went ping and went straight on mid corner

 

[AdDaMan]

Yeah that certainly wasnt his fault. That GT3 vid above though, he clearly s**t bricks over that jump.

 

[S-JM]

I agree, a few vids here and there he's pushed way too hard and been a little impatient with some of the overtakes etc.

However, he's been smashing out some cracking content at the same time, the Honda vids are absolutely epic.

 

[gez 172]

I’ve had the same feeling about Misha recently, unfortunately. Something nasty is on the horizon.

He’s driving cars way too hard considering he has absolutely no insight into the Joe publics cars he’s driving. It’s not as if he’s getting the car up on a ramp and inspecting the car’s mechanical condition etc before driving them to the limit.

Only went and stuffed the race car didn’t he 😬

 

[Matt Cup]

He had a fairly big off recently in his GR86. Fortun

Like the Fiesta ST he took out that lost its brakes?

How was Jimmer doing? I haven't managed to catch any of the livestream today

 

[McGherkin]

Me neither tbh, been out and about. Just saw the post on Misha’s Facebook page saying ‘the team crashed and the driver is okay’, tactfully avoiding the fact it was him lol

Just checked the livestream and the car's still going round, bit of a crease on the bonnet though by the look of it

Playback speed is all over the place

 

[Ben02]

Saw this the other day. A bit delusional if he genuinely thinks like this.

 

[Paulie031]

Jim Cameron is a top bloke too, Misha caught up in his own self importance.

He definitely isn't a very skilled driver. He knows the Ring well and that's it.


40s off the pace vs a couple of sim racers with limited real world laps of the Nordschleife in the same car this weekend.


Not to mention he's binned said car 3 or 4 times in the last 2 weeks.


Laughable, Only gotten to where he is by Bullshitting his way there. One of the least liked "locals" by all the other actual locals. Unfortunately it won't be til he has a proper big shunt during TF and actually injures someone that all His YouTube and social media bummers will actually realise that he isn't gods gift behind the wheel.

Fair, I'm no racing driver and I've only seen the odd video of him on the ring. What's clear is that he's going to cause some damage if he keeps going the way he has been.

 

[-Jamie-]

He's also binned more cars than any other regular by quite a margin in a far smaller amount of time 😂

These folks thst let him drive theirs are on the same level of stupid. Especially UK drivers with the whole insurance thing, or lack of.

 

[AdDaMan]

No way he actually said that. WTAF.

 

[-Jamie-]

If he was that much of an expert and great driver. Why does he not have an iPool license and tests for a living, or why no paid seat as an actual professional driver. Everyone there that works in the industry knows he is a BS'er, Bilstein are using this as a marketing exercise and once that car is dialed they will put some proper drivers in it and challenge for wins

 

[DaveDreads]

How to embarrass yourself in front of the whole world, "I'm as good as Max and better than Lewis" of course you are sunshine.

 

[McGherkin]

Has anyone got a link to where he said that? Just wondering if it was said sarcastically, before we pick up the pitchforks.

I believe it was in this interview.

 

[McGherkin]

Just found it, 1 hour, 41 minutes, 15 seconds.

What a pellet 😂 I swear Kubica demolished his laptimes in the M4

 

[leeds2592]

Some of his laps are mental but f**k doing that stuff he does in someone else’s car.

Come flying up to the first corner;
“Oh it’s doesn’t have abs?”

😂

I like Matt Armstrong's concept. In fact no, I like about 5 mins of the 20 minutes, where he actually does something. But you know what I mean.

The thumbnails tho. Why. Seems to be the default nowadays.

I can’t stand these wangs, I checked a few of their videos and they do nothing but waffle.

Ratarossa has been rubbing shoulders with these sht nuggets, which is a shame as chivers gets work done and produces real content with substance most of the time.

Then he aligns himself with tavarish (his billion video mclaren) and this mr potato face martha farker.

They just wanna be top gear clowns.

 

[massiveCoRbyn]

The waffle is annoying in some of them. I know they use clickbait for a reason, but you can skip 90% of the videos in a lot of cases. I can't be bothered with Matt Armstrong, as he's terrible for it. So is Sammit.
