The rush to bring out these systems which can easily be fooled by or confused by common everyday issues is crazy.

Lots of reports of speed limiters reading incorrect signs or using data from adjacent roads and randomly slowing down for no reason.

I think the number of complaints about car headlights are enough to show that legislation and testing isn’t adequate for real world use.

I’m sure the manufacturers can prove they all work flawlessly in their specifically controlled tests.

This should really be in the “WANT” thread.

I see that after the Maserati, Sreten has decided he needs another BDSM series.

Behold, the barely five figure (GBP - just over in Eur) Bentley Continental.

With a somewhat Jobbo interior.

Never realised that the M3 CSL generated enough downforce to drive upside down

Although series1 bumpers are very hard to come by apparently, so a few folks who’ve had light front / rear Enders have had to fit later bumpers or aftermarket…..

That's really interesting, looks like a knock off of the narrow body Mansory kit which I always thought looked pretty good without the stupid baggage of the widebody GTE.

I think I only ever saw one at Hethel and no idea how many narrow bodies Mansory did, they certainly don't seem to offer it on their website.

Check how pliant cars used to be

If you take away the weight you can afford to run a softer setup, I think it demonstrates how stiff and heavy everything is these days

I initially thought this was the old road at the Rest & Be Thankful, but it’s actually Wales.

A series I never knew existed (Oz only?)

Both drivers would go on to win Bathurst multiple times

Lots of drifty goodness there with what seems to be hilariously narrow tyres.

More off-road goodness..

Nope, I wasn’t aware of that. Looks like they’re having fun though!

Over here in Europe they had the Alfasud Trofeo, which was a kit of fat wheel arches, fat wheels and tyres, a suspension kit and roll cage. Unfortunately video footage is very hard to find, and if you do it’s hideously grainy and horrible.
