It's the most chickens**t thing someone can do, Satan has set aside a special place, just for these bastards.

Nice write up! Roma is frustrating, Saint called it by saying you need steady hands in the last sector. That's where all the time was hiding for me. I know exactly where you mean at Monaco, though I found the first corner the most frustrating because of the huge ascent afterward. Very mph you don't carry round the bend into the climb hurts your first sector time. The swimming pool has its moments too! Might have another go at Trial Mountain, this aft, or slaughter nazis on Wolfenstein. It's s tough call.

Nice carbon goodness

Truly a unique figure. RIP.

Brackets were nasty on mine too when the W brace was replaced, did them at the same time.

Good work bringing it back up to standard, they do have a certain something about them too

Classy looking binnacle that, nice and simple.

Just posting, to say there's no point in posting? Nice work

From the Guardian today - http://www.theguardian.com/environment/2016/jun/02/foxes-blamed-chewing-motorists-brake-cables?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other Foxes blamed for motorists’ severed brake cables Drivers in Tunbridge Wells have been left outraged after hungry foxes apparently chewed through the brake cables of several cars. Kent police have now warned drivers to check their brakes before setting off on journeys. Officers called on wildlife expert John Bryant to determine whether there was an explanation other than deliberate damage to six vehicles in the second half of May. He concluded that a family of teenage fox cubs, rather than a human vandal, had gnawed through the brake cables. “It is a pretty rare occurrence, but you do get a couple of cases every year. It is the cubs who are teenage hooligans now, so they are up to all sorts,” Bryant said. “They get under cars and snap away at all the cables when they are hyped up.” A Kent police spokesman said an expert had confirmed that the damage was not caused by humans. “Foxes, especially cubs at this time of year, are known to rest under vehicles, and can chew through pipes. There is no evidence at this stage to suggest the damage was deliberately caused by a person. However, any new reports will be thoroughly investigated,” he said. Each incident was noticed by the driver concerned and no one has been injured as a result. However, one of the vehicle owners – who had to pay £400 to have her brake cables repaired – did not believe that foxes were to blame. “The cuts are just too clean ... I think it was more malicious. I want cast-iron proof that it was a fox,” she said. Another victim, Tim Ellingham, realised the brake cables on his Ford Transit van had been interfered with last week when they felt spongy. “The line was cut virtually all the way through,” he said. “You could have done it with a decent-sized pair of cutters and a good strong grip in one or two squeezes.”

Front lip looks formidable. Nice mods

I've abandoned grit guards since one of mine lost a leg, that said mine never gets really heavily soiled. I just pay attention when I'm dunking my mitt and keep it away from the bottom of the bucket and don't swirl it around that much. Flame suit on standby.

The Trial Mountain one isn't as good as I'd hoped, the VXR is a bit underpowered for it. I'm enjoying the other two though and managed to do some damage to my times tonight. I've updated the original post. Saint, you were spot on about the last section of Roma being the key. If you can carry speed through there you're onto a win. I improved my time but I must admit I had to switch to the Auto Transmission as the power band is so narrow in the X-Bow I kept bouncing off the limiter.

I've always found the FM transmitters to be rubbs and I've tried a few, interesting you've found a good one Dan, will be handy to know in future. For me the best things about doing the headunit (I also did the speakers and amp too) were, better iPhone Bluetooth integration and being able to tune the audio better. I only lived with the Bose for a week or so before upgrading, but IIRC it was pretty limited for configuring the sound and also the sub level and crossovers. I do agree that most of the other stuff like AppRadio and the likes is a bit pony. That said, CarPlay appears to be a leap forward and I'd much prefer a headunit with a capacitive touchscreen, I loathe the resistive type.

Aye, a huge difference. It makes me sad for the coupe drivers who listen to their thousand pound exhaust systems through metal ear muffs The coupe does have opening windows you know

I just polished my Monaco time to a shiny 1:40.490 Took me ages!

Nice times, not sure about the man math - I did some sums and came up with 1:28.927 Either way, nice times to aim and you've kindly given me something to do this evening

YES! Them were t'days. Quentin doing his version of James Bond by way of a classic car salesman.

Well now it's 241, I'm defo in. Nicely done

Great effort from your Mrs for a great cause. Done.

Love this build Given the colour scheme and ambition of this, I assumed that it was really the Zed shed boys building it. But the lack of donuts and complete absence of strange looking brackets blows that theory right out the water

Super excited Buy more tickets gang!!!

It's the groovy new internet thing for new Top Gear - http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p03w1dcs/top-gear-extra-gear-episode-1

It was the Calendar picture of your '70 that got me thinking this way in the bleak midwinter.

I just caught EG as well. Hmmmm. I like Harris and Sabine, though I don't quite know why we've seen her log saloon, when I just wanted to see her tear up the ring in her race car I could comfortably live without this show if they just moved Harris onto the main event. He's clearly the May of the whole thing, which is no bad thing. Not sure where Rory fits in, I felt like I was watching a battle between MTV versus The Gadget Show doing a "Cars" special edition. Be interesting to see where they go with this other section, or if it hits the cutting room floor.
