Condolences, that’s some rotten luck. Golf living up to the old advert line: If only everything in life were as reliable as a Volkswagen. At least that’s not adding to the hassle. Great car. I too thought of that ad reading all that. Take care mate that's a helluva few weeks you're having. All this...

I drove up to Stoke yesterday for a friend's 50th birthday at Trentham Monkey Forrest. It was amazing how the closer you get to Birmingham, the shitter the driving gets. That was combined with a close call on the M6 when a blacked out M140i was swerving round and aggressively undertaking. It then ma...

Niiiiiiice.

I sadly missed this, is another planned? It was good fun so definitely - just not sure when! Maybe next spring? Yes sounds good - springtime makes sense I think. I'd be up for it again - we need to get some of the Ferrari owners out too (plus Simon's new MX5 obviously!) Now my gearbox is rebuilt an...

This must be quite a joy for the ears as they pass, but…there is exciting motor racing. And there is this. https://twitter.com/nascar/status/1843008895612027129 Talledega is the daddy of the superduperspeedways so isn't a realistic impression of NASCAR, though. It's like watching F1 at Monaco and s...

Ta. I'd missed that thread. I thought it odd that no-one had mentioned it.

I'm sure you've seen Chris posting on Youtube in the past but he suddenly went dark a few months ago. On Monday his former partner announced that he had been sentenced to 23 months in prison for ABH and intentional strangulation. This was the first time he had assaulted her physically and by the loo...

This will come as no surprise to some forum members that my way of dealing with mental health problems is to go for a run. I can largely track times when my mental health is in the bin by the length and intensity of my training/racing. My girlfriend is a headteacher at a primary school and her way ...

That's unusual. Land Rover products are usually parked inside the Co-op on the Bath Road, not outside the Exmouth!

I remember coming out of theatres in London's glittering West End and hearing the cry of "EEEEEEEEng Staaaa-rrrrrrrrrrrrr" from the paper sellers. I've never read it.

Outed. Look, following Matty's excellent work in providing this site for us to communally berate crypto traders, I noticed that he hasn't always got the time to jump in and delete 5 threads from someone spamming MMORGs or whatever. So 'administrator' is probably a bad word, probably more like 'some...

Someone has raised that I'm not doing a very good job of keeping this place tidy, and has requested Admin rights. Forgot to say - thank you for setting this place up in the first place and keeping it going all these years! You’ve done a great job and its much appreciated. 8-) Rich B is correct. Che...

I'm guessing not.

Did anyone take more than 5 minutes to figure it out?

I like that.

There were great performances by Bearman and Colapinto too. The sooner Hamilton and Alonso retire to make space for some of the talent coming in from F2, the better.

Absolutely! As mentioned elsewhere, I've been thinking about the Jimny while driving the new Mudrunner game.

What struck me most was how utterly beautiful Zimbabwe is. I guess I need to visit Africa at some point. As for the cars, With my well documented love of Italian tat, the Montecarlo is fabulous and Clarkson's mods were surprisingly tasteful. I also have history with the Stag an despite the accelerat...
