That's got me browsing big engined diesel Mercs
Spotted this one that I'd never heard of before, with a 48BHP upgrade from the factory.

Yep, I agree. Call me a heretic but that would tempt me more than a Singer. Green better than the yellow but neither colour is quite right for it IMO.

Yep

I loved mine

^ There can't be many that colour, I think I may have spotted you on a motorway (wherever/whenever it was).

Designo Mauritius Blue. I can't remember the exact price but it was a stupidly expensive option so probably not too many around.

Cool idea

Result wasn’t very exciting though

STATION GARAGE, MILNTHORPE would have found this kind of in-tyre footage very useful...

Agreed but not too bad for just a GoPro. It might push someone with a better/more suitable camera to have a go.

They should try that with tank tracks. Would probably find the Higgs boson or summat

^ Haha

That’s a very pretty car in a great colour

Bozzy’s latest video, on one of the prettiest, and one of my favourite race cars, has led me to Frank Stephenson’s channel.

Just watched FS’s Mini video which was fascinating. I used to draw cars all the time when I was a kid, and at school I was very good at art, and later on design and technology. Then life got in the way (translation: I was too lazy) and didn’t do so well at A-levels so my ‘car designing’ career never materialised

Anyway, will watch the rest of FS’s videos later.

Lots of other interesting vids on his channel too.

I quite liked the tyre vid.

Interesting to see how far it deformed with what looked like pretty standard geometry. Would love to see what some of mine do with tons of camber

Really needs one of the smaller / lighter gopros and to get some proper cornering load through it.

This is nippy.
