Him and Clarkson just look so odd with their skinny arms and legs and bloated stomachs. It’s definitely not age related either as they’ve been that for the last 15 years at least!

Age will have some part in it but I suspect the millions from Amazon play a bigger factor in their excess

Hoovie has bought a 760Li...

If the owner likes it, then it doesn’t really matter that I don’t really.

Wheels don’t work for me, but it is pretty amazing that they have replicated a wire wheel from billet:

Yeah, the colour is nasty too, makes the rear haunches look flat.

Not for me, especially when Eagle are doing it right.

Thanks for posting that Rich. There will be one in my Euromillions winning garage.

The more I look at the Foose one, the worse it looks. I get why they extended the sills, but now the sill is really low in front of the rear wheel, then the tail behind the wheel starts way higher. Same at the front.

I hate the cigar tube balanced on axels look of the normal etype. Nice to see one messed around with in a different way, although as above, it still doesn't really work.

It has a stance like a pot bellied pig.

I generally don’t really like Chip Foose’s cars and this is another one.

He’s stuck with that 90s custom look and it’s way out of date.

This chap has a fair few 90s Tf vids. The bit you'll (not) want to see is at 7.30. When I watched it started with an ad for a company named oppo

Before we even get started on the colour, what is with those alloys? I know taste is a subjective thing, but there's clear cases where I just wonder HTF can someone's functioning brain think so differently to my own.

Had to lol at some of this



Wonder how you'd go about properly mounting it, and controlling it so it's bypassed at part throttle and blends out at higher rpm without becoming a restriction.

Love the vtec yo kick when they hit the button on the test runs

Should work well on a 1.4 (and it looks like the battery pack would fit under the driver's floor), at least until the bottom end poops itself.

Turn the sound up

I see ex Top Gear nice guy Rory Reid is now fronting AutoTrader vids.

If you do nothing else today watch from about 3m10 to 3m20. The way george exits the diff is superb.

George is pretty active on The Lotus Forum. He tells me this is the Merc VIRS system. (Very Independent Rear Suspension)

I watched that this morning as it popped up in my youtube feed after doing some yoga. Not really bothered about the De Cadenet chap but the car is awesome! It sounds bloody wonderful on those Ansa Megaphone pipes

ETA this lovely thing.
