Hammond's divorce is going to be expensive, then.

What a time to be alive

Dave!

The Stormtrooper armour ... errrr.... codpieces are hilarious on their own.

I'd support the legalisation of weed but only in edibles. I hate the smell of the stuff. If you're caught smoking it, you should be loaded into a catapult and shot out to sea.

Saw a new m5 in north tees hospital car park this morning, in this green https://www.topgear.com/sites/default/files/2024/06/BMW_M5_Limousine-0007.jpg The rear bumper indents that house the reflectors look like someone pranged the clay model and they just rolled with it I saw one in Techno Violet t...

Jimmy knows his tea.

I should hope so! I did work for a probiotic tea company and had the person who set up Clipper and the person who ran it after he left running it.

Teabag and milk should never be in the cup together. Dave is the beneficiary of the old adage that a cup of tea which someone makes for you always tastes better than one you have to make for yourself. Gratitude clearly makes up for a lot 😄 I'm the opposite. A cuppa I make myself is always better th...

I've been getting into NASCAR too. Once you get past the "they just turn left", there's some fairly nuanced racing going on.

The whole race is worth a watch.


I watch all the Supercars on Youtube. It's definitely my favourite race series.

True, but Oz isn't a big enough market to support Holden and a domestic Ford product line. With Toyota coming in, it should spice things up further.

And at least they're racing V8 RWD cars and not 4 pot FWD shopping cars.

Thruxton is a great circuit, and my local(ish) circuit. I seem to remember one particularly fast, buttock clenching right hander. edit: ah, yes, 1m20 in. It's the trees and barrier in the distance on the outside that you don't want to be distracted by https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cu4vzxBBZbo Tha...

Not allowed to rev the engine past 4000 revs either

Enjoy it Jimmy! Thruxton is a decent fast track

I drive a diesel. 4k is the redline in all cars, isn't it?

Yeti service (and a dust!) due but at the same time the dash has lit up like the proverbial Christmas tree. Suspect an ABS sensor has triggered all three warning lights. If I can find a garage that won't charge me £80 to do a ten min diagnostic check then they can just fix it. Otherwise looking at ...

Three laps? Right, no warm up or cool down. Try to watch some videos before you go to learn the track 😄 I downloaded Thruxton into Assetto Corsa and have been blatting round in a virtual 718 S so I know which way it goes. It's much more fun in an F3 car, though. Warm up is just spinning up the rear...

After last year when Jobbo invited me to Silverstone to rag the shit out of a couple of Porsches at the Porsche experience, I've just been given a voucher to drive a Caymen round Thruxton from a friend who won it but had already paid for that experience. She offered it out on FB and I was first to b...

Morden? That's a solid move but it does allow me to reverse into Edgeware road.

I was going to say that was an illegal move until I remembered that while the Castle is in zone 2, the Elephant is in zone 1. Sneaky!

Swiss Cottage.

Just to check, are we using the Northern Heights modification?

No, you pay them handsomely for it.

Been a while since I had a good game and I am hoping I might find a few other players on the forum, or maybe some new players who might want to join in with the fun. I was going to propose we start with Moreton’s second variation of the official standard rules. Would anyone care to start us off wit...

I'll take a late Diabolo VT 6.0 in the most lurid colour possible, please. Something that would make a Mantis Shrimp feel nauseous.
