I got to the first WHAT A THING and then just clicked off.

Never realised quite how much that phrase is starting to get on my tits.

Probably not the wisest move for the camera dude to show the speedo. Over 200kph at one point..... :geek:

Different world over there and I don't think his missus counts as the camera dude. Police give permits for stuff like that around Maranello in exchange for dinner and vino 8-)

It looks fabulous but I can't comprehend 830bhp on the road.

His wife has transitioned and is now calling himself Andrew, and is now saying he’s his son?!

Wow, some families are more complicated than others….

My comment makes more sense if you'd watched the 2 Ferrari videos together lol

Really enjoyed this vid - taken from a great angle. 8-)

Oliver Solberg in a MkII Escort. (It's a year old but I haven't seen it - hopefully I'm not reposting :? )

1. Nearly stalls it on the start line. So difficult to get it moving. :?
2. Cresting the hill at 1min30 I instinctively held my breath, and didn't even realise that I had done so until I breathed out about 7 seconds later :lol:
3. I prefer the daytime footage. :?
4. (I found it) very interesting that - whilst he regularly deploys left-foot-braking - he doesn't generally bother to heel&toe his downshifts. :geek:

I dream of seeing one of these in the metal. Absolutely bananas and I love it.


The quartered 308 mule car is almost as cool and a RWB meets Prancing horse way.

I was never convinced by the super-wide-rear styling and the heavy inset of the rear wheels (I'm amazed at his comment that the rear is only 3" wider than a Countach), but have always been kinda fascinated by it. That video was excellent - some great research & insights. 8-)

So many reasons it could have been a success. :? ALthough I think the in-car footage at the end is the first I have ever seen of a CZ16 - unfortunately that powerplant doesn't appear to be fabulously musical*

*have listened via a small speaker only - I should play it through the stereo before making final judgement.

I can relate to that!

I drove a BDA powered mk1 Escort rally car from Chesterfield to a test at Blyton circuit. What a horrible experience on the road :lol: . To get it moving the revs had to be around 5k and then just dump the clutch, trying to be gentle just resulted in a stall. Traffic queues were an absolute pain trying to balance not stalling and trying to avoid looking like I was showing off with all the noise and drama. Clear roads and revving that BDA out though, oh my...

There is a video floating about of the original designer having involved his kids in the business and he has a lot of parts to build a new car and to keep the others running.

Considering the age of this thread, this one is probably a repost (apols if so). Seen this chap’s occasional output last few years but recently got into it properly. He’s very entertaining.
