OV9

I remember standing at Stowe corner a few years ago, watching almost all the cars approach with their hazards on, no doubt worse now.

I hate it on the mito, I trigger it all the time during moderate, not particularly harsh, braking. Especially on narrow country roads where the surface is quite loose of if you hit a bump while braking.

Makes you look a right 'tard.

I can disable it in diagnostics, but I don't want to as it might be useful during a proper emergency, but doesn't seem to be any way to recalibrate it so it's less touchy.

Latest episode of Hoovies garage had my laughing out loud. Stick with it to the end.

Watched this yesterday and pmsl too!

Did think he'd gone loony (well more so than usual) at beginning of the video, then I thought WTF Hoovie why the clickbait and then got the lulz when Johnny "The Car Ninja" had eyes like saucers and a massive smirk on his face as he clocked Hoovies plan straight and everything afterwards!

Just one lap, but one of my favouritist race cars....

Although if I was getting an Eagle I'd probably ask them to make me a Speedster with some of the additional lightweight gubbins on that one.

Nice although I agree on the noise. Not often an XK engine sounds disappointing.

The BMW B58 motor really is a peach! I am I no way biased. If it's anything like mine then it'll be running more power and torque than quoted by BMW.

Shows up the more expensive Audi and looks really good too.

What a boss

This just came up on my YouTube recommended list

Jonny Smith and an urban explorer (who has a car interest as much as any of us) go tresspassing and find a car graveyard.



Reminds me of the farmer when we lived up in the far, far north, in Bilbster (google it) who had a 'corner' of his land he'd dump peoples cars on, but this guys land has just got out of hand and forgotten about.

Quickshift TV AKA WTFauto are building a V12 Supra. Quite enjoying catching up with them planning the manifolds.


A while back these guys built a V6 Twin sequential turbo MR2 so they have the skills to do this build a lot of justice.

He's not using the launch control function on the M340I, It will go off the line harder than that !
