My love for Ferrari V12s is why I could never be an eco fascist dictator.

An oldie, but excellently entertaining racing:

While in isolation I like the look, having it sit so high blocking the centre console ruins the overall asthetic. Still....can't see many people going for this given originality is probably a key factor in value.

This must be quite a joy for the ears as they pass, but…there is exciting motor racing. And there is this.

TRIGGER WARNING: SHMEE CONTENT

There is nothing about this car that appeals to me. What an insane horrible racket (I don't mean Shmee) and constantly broken. Just why would you bother?

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

I love the look of this but was very disappointed that they've had to muffle the noise of the v12. Anyway, nothing a Capristo couldn't fix I'm sure.

Talledega is the daddy of the superduperspeedways so isn't a realistic impression of NASCAR, though. It's like watching F1 at Monaco and saying it's not racing. I've been watching the highlights of most of the races this year. I can do 20 minutes but 3 hours isn't something I have time for. Generally, there is good racing but the short courses like Bristol are more entertaining.

If you're open to Ford content I may have the van for you;




If you'd wanted a smaller van;




A step too far?



Maybe with Renault or Nissan badges :P

Pretty much nothing happens in this vid - it's just a "dashcam" from 1985. 8-) Probably more interesting if you know Castleford, but it brought back real "being driven round by yer dad" memories. :lol:

The creator clearly enjoyed doing this as they have uploaded several similar vids.

A few pedestrians nearly taken out around 1min10s, and the Montego that appears around 3mins looks like a spaceship in this environment. :lol:

One from 1987 - different car (Fiesta?) or just removed the aftermarket aero device thingy doo-dahs?

Clearly not a fan of the (SImon Bates?) Radio 1 sad listeners letter segment - even with that background music :lol: they switch to some bangin' contemporary pop choons (sounds like they are searching around and whapping a cassette into the stereo 8-) )

Every day’s a school day.

I didn’t realise that most of the V8 Supercar drivers use the clutch for downshifts, as a full flappy paddle shift can be too aggressive and you don’t want them rears locking.

No issue for upshifts.
