@mik - I just ran out of time to get any decent pictures, today was crazy with work and then a really short time to get the wheels swapped. Of course, when I went to start, the jack wouldn't fit under the car, so it was one of those little jobs which went on and on... I'm just messin' :D Am I right...

No, you’re silly. https://twitter.com/cantechit/status/1635926834830356480?s=46&t=BWao1zeVGP1aMaAUBFlaOA And more than just the money-shot edit: I am not sure these attempts were made all in the same timeframe - for the unsuccessful attempt around 1min the windsock appears to indicate a strong c...

AQOTWF was superb. Extremely gritty, but superb. 8-) At the other end of the scale - last night I popped onto Netflix and randomly picked FALL . Intended to be a tense drama about thrill seekers finding themselves stuck at the top of a 2000ft radio tower. Whilst they did a fair job at times of makin...

1. Much better. Where’d you get them?
B. Is that Matt gold or bronze?
4. Where is my side mirror rear arch view pron shot?
5. What happened to 3?
3. Ah, there it is.

All this focus on The Beast has forced me to go looking for footage of the Meteor Engined SD1. Channel "Hot Rod Gazette" did a few relatively recent feature vids on it. Whilst it's undoubtedly as rough as a Badger's tadger, - it looks and sounds way better than Dodd's monstrosity. I expect...

I'm still winning :D Anyone know the psychology of why people bother bidding days before an auction ends? Seems a waste of time and showing your hand early to me. This. No idea why. I was pondering this yesterday. I don't know either. Anything I ever buy on ebay (that isn't a buy-it-now) is won in ...

Don't want to be pedantic, but I'm pretty sure that the engine isn't a Merlin but a Meteor. The Meteor was the non-turbo version of the Merlin as fitted to tanks. Apparently it originally had a Meteor, replaced with a Merlin (sans ‘charger) after the fire. click here - similar comments on other sou...

BAN ALL CYCLISTS!

The girth on those rear arches is quite arousing

View from the wing mirror please @Ascender - I do love seeing a strong sticky-oot arch in the side mirror (944, VXR8 and Evora all deliver in this respect).

Ascender I don’t know if it is common - E-Tron doesn’t have this on the front (but does on the rear). Evora skoosher is rubbish / two piddly streams of water. Tried a fan version (from the Focus) with a theoretically better spray pattern, but the top section of the fan hit the edge of the access pa...

Not that it matters - as it isn’t my car - but so am with everyone else on the black roof. Looks good.

Great opportunity to get a gesture from them though for the error - couple of free services or wotevah.

Interesting to hear m2 comparisons - though the m2 is bloody useless this time of year on the standard tyres!! You’re not still on MPSS Shirley? yeah, I've done about 9k miles in the car and they still somehow have tread! I don't think they actually wear out in the winter because they don't actuall...

It's great that these changes to the Highway Code have been so well thought out and publicised. :roll: Loads of people responding (to Mr Vile's video) cite that the pedestrian has priority - as they are the most vulnerable road user - and that despite it being a lights-controlled junction - the mome...

Horrific in every way. Wheels are awful

Harry - unusually - doesn't obscure/blur the speedo for this vid. He hits 62mph at one point - I bet someone complains.

Different topic - that's a challenging exterior colour (also FTAO @Delphi )

@Mito Man That was my thought too, but they are only 1.4m wide, and it would appear it's got more grip than stability.
