Got something to say, but it's not classic related? Here's the place to discuss. Also includes the once ever-so-popular word association thread... (although we've had to start from scratch with it - sorry!)

:shock: Wow! Even Bentley's new off road toy with its mahoosive Diesel engine doesn't have that much torque. Though I would probably want to try that with the Bentley if the opportunity were to present itself.. :lol: :twisted:

That seems to have taken ages to arrive after the previous episode, glad it's here now though. :)

Getting withdrawal symptoms already!

Wonder how much longer that is going to take them??
They aim for every 3 months but sometimes get held up if they haven't had much time.
If you keep an eye on their farcebook page, they post updates saying how the next episode is coming along :)
Understeer: when you hit the wall with the front of the car.
Oversteer: when you hit the wall with the back of the car.
Horsepower: how fast you hit the wall.
Torque: how far you take the wall with you.

Great piece of Goodwood Revival by blogger 'Petrol Ped' - best of all it features both myself & my Javelin for the first few mins :D

Oof! There's some stunning old machinery there and no mistake. My favourite part from the clip has to be the Lamborghini tractor, closely followed by the rubber clad young woman and that shaft-driven race-prepped BMW motorcycle.

Loving Chris' Javelin too of course, but then anyone who fails to fall for the offbeat charm of these technically advanced pieces of British engineering must be either soulless or a Vulcan.

I hope they're paying him for advertising the well-known rust removal liquid! The bloke's nuts, but good nuts. I can, however, see how some folk may find an articulated pavement scooter unacceptable but would still love to see him driving the thing up the travellator at AsDa.
