I've watched it now; imo it won't make any difference, if anything it'll entrench peoples' previously held views and opinions and do nothing to prevent problems prevalent in practice.

* I've now decided what the Q is for, and it's not quite quaint.

That's how I imagine the old forum meets.

Just seen that on twitter, came here to post it about 20 mins too late

Best comment I saw was “he drives like there are angry wasps in the car”

Certainly isn’t running a “stable” setup

Agree it won’t make any difference in isolation - it needs some national socialisation. No idea how you do that now when sensible people don’t buy hard copy papers, and many people don’t watch TV.

Edit - I was surprised to hear that the Mercuns had stolen the ‘zip merge” phrase before I even thought of it. (I referred to “zip up”). Also he should have mentioned that many European countries do this superbly - not Italy where they drive more like Russians.

One for Beany.

I've watched some of his other videos and he's a genius

That's bloody impressive, and similar to a ding I got when someone used my car as a parking bollard.

Fucking christ I miss that car.

I had the pleasure of watching the PDR guy for about half the time he took to remove the fist-size dent on the VXR8 rear flank (caused by impact from airport luggage trolley )

It was pure voodoo.

I got them for a dent on the wing of the 2 series. It was about 50p in size. Fixed in under a min...as i was chatting to him..."there fixed"

That's not areas of paint damage, that's just the way Ford painted them

Oh, and:

Rufford Ford makes for interesting viewing of late.

Fair play to that Range Rover Sport, the engine was completely submerged for a bit.

I'm still a little disappointed that we couldn't find anyone willing to have a go at PDR-ing the Superb. I reckon the worst of it could be sorted to the extent it would be barely noticable, but none of the guys local to us seemed interested at all.

But then, whilst it annoys the shit out of me every time I see it, the wife (her car) doesn't seem to give a toss about it at all.

Always great vids from Tyre Reviews...unfortunately no PS5 quite yet....

I've had that with the A2, assumed "because alu" (though they never got back to me ), pish poor no one'll do the Superb
At least your Mrs doesn't mind.

Those Rufford Ford videos. It's shocking just how many people seem to think that the way to ford a Ford is to go in at full speed, ripping off the front number plate and engine undertray whilst throwing a huge wave right over the bottom of the windscreen and forcing water through the grill into the sensitive electronics lurking in the engine bay. Very few people were correctly tip-toeing through and keeping the wash below their lower door shutline.
