Theoretically speaking, or ‘cos you no longer have your Dakar? :?
Think I must have missed Mikes EOTR on the Dakar...what happened to it ?
I'm now starting to think I didn't post what I thought I'd posted? Offer too good to refuse and I was piling on the miles :lol:

I guess that’s the issue with having such a desirable yet useable car. you’re going to desire using it a lot!

Audi RS3 - wider tyres on the front than the back?! Mentalism for the 'tism.

You settle up, I'll go get the Jag.

It's been the same since the first RS3 which came out, what 15 years ago? I remember posting about it being a shit solution and engaging in some sort of argument about it online. It's still shit now.

Does look lovely.

£210k though. And does Harry need a new camera? As either image stabilisation has failed, or the ride on the Touring is pretty awful :lol: Made the camera footage taken inside the cabin almost unwatchable to me.
Finally got round to watching this. Seems like the engine is good but the rest not so much for a road car... although Harry will always upvote something green.

I didn't know that. But I don't live in Bradford so I'm not the target audience for these :D

With all the rear torque vectoring shizzle it’s surely even more pointless / stoopid now? Do not want.

I believe the Civic Type Arse are also like that?
How about not having a sig at all?

I watched that last night and thought it was fantastic!

Also really makes me want to drive classic Ferraris on ice lakes. I already know it's for a gentleman of a different kind of financial means without even clicking the link.

Exactly the same here.

We see these hypercars as investments as that's what a lot of people use them for. Seeing people just having fun in them is brilliant.

Interesting vid. Generally I shared the thoughts of Rob & Dave > getting some low-speed drifts on in almost complete safety (run off wasn't as big as I was expecting, but the snow seems pretty soft) is going to be a pretty unique expierence for the vast majority (or all) of these owners, and great to see the cars being driven/used enthusiastically.

I did think they'd probably have had as much or more driving fun in some cars set up to suit the occasion (loads of options, but I'm thinking some mk2 Escorts, E30 M3's, Scoobs, 911's, or even some of the dedicated ice-racing cars) but I get that wasn't the sole purpose of the event.

After seeing that Shmee and Mr JWW were there and seeing snippets in Harry's video last week, I have not bothered with this one. An event which in theory sounds fun but is full of wankers is not what I watch Harry's Garage for.

the cars and location look great, but the socials seem to be full of videos of awful people posing in too much make up and impractical designer “ski wear”. Not my scene.

It had me wondering what the collective term for that many fur coats was.

Enjoyed the car bits though.

There were some truly fantastic cars there, but also what appeared to be a decent collection of utter bellends too.

Swings and roundabouts I guess.
Cheers,

Mike.
