Ah, drat. I was tricked! Sorry, guys. Maybe next year they'll come to Canada and point out our total lack of a car industry. It could end up in Hammond driving a Bricklin SV-1. Seat Safety Switch fucked around with this message at 17:11 on Jan 6, 2012 |

echoplex posted:Yeah, I didn't buy that Hammond was working on the Noble at all, but then I was really surprised to see one even opened up on location. I guess because it's not realy a super-hi tech exotic, it's easier to do, but I thought cars like that were impenetrable to anyone other than the manufacturer? It's kind of the Brit way in general.

I'm always surprised they mention the price on the supercars because it seems so totally irrelevant to anyone who would be cross-shopping them. It's not like there's some really-rich-but-not-really guy who would be bankrupt if he bought a 458 but suddenly be ok if he bought the Noble.

I wonder if that Bentley had any braking ability left by the end of that run. It sure looked like it didn't.

That grey #5 Cee'd took a hell of a beating. I thought it was pretty impressive before half-time when it was tooling around with a caved in passenger side front door, but near the end the rear passenger door and drivers' door had both joined the fray along with a broken bumper cover and dented passenger quarter panel.

Yeah, I would watch a straight hour of Rutledge just buying weird 80s-90s cars and pointing out why they're weird.

Not to mention May's self-satisfied expression when he does a four inch peel out for the elevenses challenge right after.

I'm sort of surprised he didn't just take the control arm off the car to weld it up, although maybe he needed to figure out attachment points and measuring in situ.

echoplex posted:Edd feels like Mike's abused wife who does all the hard work and doesn't really get the credit. At the end of each episode I keep hoping Edd will find the strength to leave him. I always feel bad for Edd at the end of each episode. In some of them he doesn't even get to drive the car he worked so hard on.  Then again, Paul doesn't seem to get much screen time or credit for his work either (holding things up for Edd, doing drudgery like sanding and blocking).

I'm guessing they mean Vauxhall, who make the Astra and its various chav supersport versions.

SpannerX posted:Not UK or US TG, but Don't Drive Here is an interesting series so far. I've only seen the Manila one, but my god! Andrew Younghusband, the host, also does Canada's Worst Drivers, another one of my favourite shows. I watched the Mexico City one - it was something else. He had to be part of a security convoy and drive like a total rear end in a top hat to do it. It's sort of weird watching a Canadian try to consider the idea that in other parts of the world, the government (and traffic laws) are less important than whoever you are working for.

I noticed that on the first version too. I figured the uneven blade distribution must be something like a balancing/vibration issue like on old Porsche 911 engine fans. It's even worse at the workshop before they take it on the road, I think more than one of the blades is missing then.

It really is amazing how naturally the Stig glommed onto the concept of having an extra set of wheels and weight connected to the back end of the car.

Edd China and James May teaming up would either be the best car show or the worst. Two and a half hours each episode of them drinking and talking about Triumphs. I'm leaning towards best.

I have been asked if we can have a goat like 5 times in the last month, and apparently "No, we live in a condo" isn't a reasonable answer as to why we can't. You could start a lawn care business.
