You're a dick.

When I first got the Jag, I did left foot braking when I forgot i didn't have a clutch.

It’s interesting that I didn’t post one of these last year. I suspect I wasn’t in the right headspace.
2025 has been a bit tough. Redundancy in May was a bit of a kick in the plums, especially as I did the budget for 2025/2026 and made sure I was in it. It’s the first time someone has cried in one ...

T'other

I think it really depends on how the pedals are positioned. The 330i SPAWTAH was perfect for the classic most of the ball and the heel for a blip. The 166 SUPER was clearly not designed for that as I had to blip with the side of my foot.

I kinda miss H+T and only get to do it in the sim rig now.

Denial denied. A quick google reveals that Javelin have a formula trackday on 19th March.

Your arbitration has made a mockery of the sanctity of the ov9 poll system and I'm disappointed in you.


Ill hang my racing gloves in shame...


No, you just need to downgrade to racing mittens until ...

Was the original buyer colour blind or just blind?

I have a dirty, dirty plan for after a lottery win. I shall have a 6R4 and engine swap it for a Jaguar V12.

I hope Satan brings you everything you deserve.

Slicks? In December? I'd be running on p6000s!

I'm very sad about this. I'd been listening to Auberge at the weekend and hunting for a copy of Dancing Down The Stony Road as I can't find it on Spotify. He probably spent the entirety of the 21st century on borrowed time.

This video is a great illustration of who he was

If you're going track car, do it properly.

Bostin.

You just know that pastry will be 40% sugar and chemicals.

Americans really shouldn't be allowed food if they're going to do this with it.

I never noticed any improvement between supermarket regular and premium super in the e46 330i, XJ6, 9-3 Aero, or 9-5 Aero. The Alfa 166 was a fussy bitch, though.

the 535d would probably run on wino piss just fine.

If I ever get divorced, I'm hunting you out, I'll be the big spoon and you keep making toads in blankets in the hole.

Dave!

That is literally the best offer I've had this week.

I used to really enjoy Buck Rogers for the way it managed to be very much of its time and futuristic at the same time.

RIP.

Last weekend I made toads in blankets in the hole. Smoked bacon makes everything better. EVERYTHING!
