6500bhp was a miscalculation :( Doesn't really matter though. At 15:11 I though Jonny was going to ask "does it use any bits from the white one?" :lol: :P I like that shape Beetle and that build does it's looks no harm at all whatsoever...SSSNM.

His is weird but both are wrong apparently. When Harry did the vid comparing his with the F40 he had some Italian bloke, I forget who, and he pointed out the the correct pronunciation is hard, as in Count ack.

A channel I've stumbled across, various bits about old/disused roads & circuits, other stuff, seems ok from the couple of bits I've watched;

Not YouTube, but this is the first time I've seen the BRM V16 in the real when it wasn't running terribly so thought it was worth a post :mrgreen:

Came across this guy's tiny channel by accident - he's restoring an HC Vauxhall Viva. Love shit like this.

If you get all wobbly-lipped about the opinion of Internet strangers, maybe it's time to take a bath with the toaster as you'll never amount to sh1t anyway.

I'm alright but the guy driving this went up in a baseball cap, ie no helmet, and presumably no earplugs so I think his ears may be buggered yes :mrgreen:

Whenever I see those type of old race cars being driven in anger I’m always amazed at how much the move about and how hard the driver has to work the steering wheel.

Low grip, big power, massive testicular fortitude.

I'm more amazed that the cylinders are only 10cc!

Nah, just an attention seeking weirdo.

Pour redbull on a car, drive it round a dusty track, park at shows for internet points.

I’d be impressed if it was covered in squashed flies and brake dust from thousands of hard driven miles.

I've posted Finnigan's Garage before but this one has good footage of a toyota mini truck getting a full on 90's style custom paint job in 5 days. It's incredible work.

Great pair of modern classics, very evenly matched too. The prices of GTR's now :shock: , 10 years ago they were less than 20k, easy to predict now with a bit of hindsight.
Of all the M5's the E39 I'd have thought would have jumped in value but they don't really seem to have, maybe because they are quite plentiful compared to R34's.
Wonder how my TVR would do with similar power to the official GTR figure but 500kgs less weight.

I'd have thought the R34 would monster it off the line but with modern tyres the M5 has no problem controlling its power. I want to drive one to see how bad the steering is.
How about not having a sig at all?
