That's got me browsing big engined diesel Mercs :D
Spotted this one that I'd never heard of before, with a 48BHP upgrade from the factory.

Yep, I agree. Call me a heretic but that would tempt me more than a Singer. Green better than the yellow but neither colour is quite right for it IMO.

^ There can't be many that colour, I think I may have spotted you on a motorway (wherever/whenever it was).

Designo Mauritius Blue. I can't remember the exact price but it was a stupidly expensive option so probably not too many around.

STATION GARAGE, MILNTHORPE would have found this kind of in-tyre footage very useful...

Agreed but not too bad for just a GoPro. It might push someone with a better/more suitable camera to have a go.

They should try that with tank tracks. Would probably find the Higgs boson or summat
How about not having a sig at all?

Bozzy’s latest video, on one of the prettiest, and one of my favourite race cars, has led me to Frank Stephenson’s channel.

Just watched FS’s Mini video which was fascinating. I used to draw cars all the time when I was a kid, and at school I was very good at art, and later on design and technology. Then life got in the way (translation: I was too lazy) and didn’t do so well at A-levels so my ‘car designing’ career never materialised :roll:

Anyway, will watch the rest of FS’s videos later.

I quite liked the tyre vid.

Interesting to see how far it deformed with what looked like pretty standard geometry. Would love to see what some of mine do with tons of camber :lol:

Really needs one of the smaller / lighter gopros and to get some proper cornering load through it.
