St.Jude Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 56 minutes ago, egg said: Makes you wonder why anyone would buy a Gordon Murray or Lotus Evija instead (well I know why, as they're investments for the super rich, but just from a car perspective) Depends what you want. That McMurty thing is horrible to look at. It’s like they took a McLaren to the EuroNCAP boys for a side impact test, liked how it looked and released it as a car. The Gordon Murray one is a drivers car. A fucking NA V12? Keep the turbos when you have that orchestra behind you. But then people want their faces peeled off for fun so want all the speed. egg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, I guess it's interesting there are enough mega wealthy people who need these kind of choices. Don't get me wrong, I like the ethos of GMA cars a lot, I just think the styling on the T50/T33 is a bit bland compared to some his earlier work, a bit like (and you'd appreciate this) The Manics most recent album v Generation Terrorists St.Jude 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The styling is bland but it’s a throwback to the 90’s when aerodynamics meant curves.

Remspoor Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 After watching @dollywobbler/Hubnut recent trip to the Netherlands YT suggested these 2 videos of a Oldtimer rally in NL. It took place the weekend after Elk Merk Waardig. Elfsteden Oldtimer Rally. Some vehicles may be too old to interest some of you. I could not find the cut of date for vehicles which are eligible for this run. Maybe there is not one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garethj Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 How to drive, by the US military. It features such essentials as advanced paranoia, a J turn that Jim Rockford would ridicule and how to do a handbrake turn (bootlegger turn as they call it) with a foot operated parking brake. Considering what Saturday evening television was churning out at the time in America, the “action” driving is woeful 😀 warren t claim and CreepingJesus 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Split_Pin Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 Anyone watch 'Car UK'? I have really enjoyed watching this chap making his living buying, doing up and selling the kind of chod that we frequently see in our own for sale section. He's gradually moving into filming his day at an auction house and away from running his MOT business. He also appreciates Saabs and Rovers so I subbed!
