They should have let him go after Brazil, he’s clearly had enough of the car this year, and would have given kimi some useful experience. Alpine decision to release ocon is a sensible one. Apparently it’s a joint decision, because he’s keen to get straight into the haas in the post race test, but co...

Proof that newer isn’t more better

Even the 1.0 Ecoboost from about 2021? I hadn’t realised they’d switched away. My dad had a 1.0 Ecoboost Fiesta from 2020 and I assumed that was the wet belt. Fiesta was very slow on the update.

Gav, your new car looks great. I’m not sure if it is based on the same platform as the Yeti or (more likely) the next generation of that. A Golf may be all anyone needs but something like the Ateca is much more what people want and use. My stepson is after a car since he’s about to return his compa...

As far as government spending goes it’s probably quite efficient

The biggest problem is the demographic this kind of thing appeals to People who enjoy driving, who see this as the shitshow it is will be a small percentage of those who reply The people who are your normal drivers who don’t know what’s going on past the end of their bonnet won’t care enough to fill...

They were an optional extra on the renaultsport twingos

We went from 2012 until 2022- the cost of its stopped us bothering now, whilst Spain isn’t the best racing it’ll cost the same for a week abroad and race tickets :shock: Grandstand wise we always liked Stowe- lots of overtakes, stupid fast corner in the modern era, amazing to see them really lean in...

The “I didn’t bring a ladder” method is stand on a wheel

Ever watch citizen khan? You’ve already got off street parking




Mito, did you get sorted? Was away when you’d posted this so completely forgot

As for the wagons increase- that just brings Scotland in line with the rest of the uk

Also doing his own restoration project on ...

Will make it impossible to overtake incompetent drivers who do 35mph everywhere, leading to dangerous attempts Speeding will increase massively, as if 60 is speeding then people will think you might as well do 70 Speeding will increase in towns along nsl routes- people already fail to slow enough fr...
