Biggest surprise is how good it sounds.

A lot of money but I think it's great. I'd love a go in one! HC content is always superb too. I really look forward to his content.

I saw this and thought “oh that looks interesting”

I was wrong.

The sight of the Vauxhall Griffin and the slogan "once driven forever smitten" makes me want to vomit due extreme laughter and to never watch any of their content.

I remember buying the first or second issue of Redline magazine years ago and it had a Lotus Carlton estate a guy had built himself from a written off Lotus Carlton and a lesser estate.

Seems like a great car (I’ve not watched the ECOTY videos), don’t know why it came second from last in Autocar’s Car of the Year?

Dan Prosser's (an ex forumite no less) best guess.

It's almost as if different people like different cars

I really dig a lot of the videos on this channel https://www.youtube.com/c/VehicleVillains/videos

I also enjoyed this road trip

revsRus old GT4 in some of those bids.

Cheers for the link Chris.

I do watched Prosser’s PH stuff; good content though he’s not as characteristic as someone like Catchpole. His ‘Rise & Drive’ series are very good though, not sure if you’ve watched them?

Yeah. The crashed car at the beginning is probably the most interesting bit.

I didn’t realise Dan Prosser posted here in the past. Always thought he was more PH. I like him and Frankel and I listen to the DN podcast, but only until I get too annoyed with Frankel’s constant “you know”s.

The Rise & Drive series is well worth watching, hope they do more.

Haven’t met him but Timur is a friend and ex-employee of Pete.

I do miss the DC2 now and again

Not much else FWD as well balanced as standard.
What's with all the sawing at the steering ?

He's used to wrestling French hatches so he's not quite got used to how the DC2 prefers to be driven, less steering, more throttle etc.

One gets more pleasure from gentle caressing French models than wrestling !
