What's the deal with those V6s, stroker kit?

does it give absurd bhp or not?

I doubt it, they were only around 250bhp from the original 3.2l

Probably sounds quite nice though!

we're spoilt by ///M specific power outputs!

I think milk is more traditional with cocoa pops!

@Brannen - On Apple TV, there's some really good stuff to check out, they do seem to have a pretty good hit rate for quality over quantity.

Different cultures innit. Italians don't care if you use their cars as parking sensors, Dutch prioritise bikes over everything else, in Vietnam - the bigger the vehicle the more priority it has (and potentially fatal accidents are regular), etc... In the UK, the car is an extension of our own little...

I don't underestimate the amount of work required to film YT content, but in terms of projects/interest, Steve's collection has an awful lot of appeal.

It was fairly predictable - without the big V8, what do the AMG C and E class actually offer above any other saloon? They've already put most of the AMG kit and badging on every other model in the ranges, so they're basically just back to looking and sounding like airport run taxis.

she won't be driving my car - especially on my driveway...

Just sharing women being mental tbh. HRT has helped (a bit).

Ballsy move riding in front of and goading a scaffolder/scaffold truck. From the scaffolders I've known that could have easily ended differently. They're not usually the calm, measured type.

Surely if they're arguing that "he knows the "capabilities and limits" of his bike." then they're actually saying that he crashed on purpose?

My missus has this habit of starting conversations with (talks at me) me when I'm texting someone (as in I'm midway through typing a 1st/2nd reply - mid conversation) , then flips out when I open the next text and read it because I'm ignoring her and not interested in what she's saying.

Must admit, I've used booze to Put My Big Boy Pants On and make big purchases, but those were purchases that I'd already decided to make and was just fear't of pulling the trigger on them. I don't think I've ever accidentally drunk-purchased anything in my life. Clearly I'm missing out on the surpr...

Funnily enough Jobbo, my company used to have one of the units in your business park. The "Northern" MD chose it as our northern office (bearing in mind we do expensive city centre type office fit outs). We fired him when he turned out to be shit, shut it down and set one up in central Man...
