Decent car YouTubes
Re: Decent car YouTubes
Look at all the muck the arse dumped in the river though
I drove along and up The Devil's Staircase last week when the storm was in full flow (and in the dark in the small hours) and I had Rufford in mind whenever I came across a flooded bit. I've no idea how deep the water was, none of them were fords so there weren't any markers, but looking at bits afterwards there was a heck of later about to get to road level in the first place
Re: Decent car YouTubes
So any guesses if its possible to drive fast enough to aquaplane across the whole ford? The 3 series made it half way before sinking
How about not having a sig at all?

Yeah, I’ve seen a couple doing a decent job, one being a recent shape Astra from memory. I guess you need decently solid under trays and not too low that the front bumper digs in.

A small car - i10 or the like - did a good job in an earlier vid, I'll see if I can find it.
I hadn't watched any M539 vids before but you've got me intrigued with the B7; liking what I've seen so far, from the fault finding to the simple & basic "it's wrong, make it right" rather than "that'll do", even if getting there isn't always simple or basic

Well, the swearing will have got a lot worse. Update on his Patreon is cylinder 4 scored, and scoring in 1 and 2 as well.

He just seems to be hugely calm and matter of fact about what is a massive, complex, expensive and difficult job.
That said, he's not a moron, I expect he bought the project knowing there was a good chance it was going to spend a fortnight blown across his garage space in bits

The guy in the courtesy car fiesta seems pretty determined to fuck it up!
Re: Decent car YouTubes
A few of us were at this show on Sat, quite an eclectic mix of cars and people, thoroughly enjoyable stuff. A good excuse for a few forumites to meet up again too, Mike Swerv, MattH, Ben, Coaster/YK. And Aquadrome/Rich Porter was there of course
Blink and you'll miss us, I'm in the Beetle pan, Matt shows up later on I think

Yes decent day out that. Good to meet Mike finally.
I enjoyed having a nose around the new EVs and other new cars like the Alpine.

Nice.
None of you displayed your cars? (I have no idea what the rules for that were, or how restrictive that would have made it).

Re: Decent car YouTubes
If it was like the one I went to there were special invite cars in the inner ring more general interesting arrivals stuff parked outside, and then general boring car parking.
I don’t know the setup at that event but the last few seconds of the vid seemed to show the outer interesting parking bit.
