Funny interview with Kimi.

Funny interview with Kimi.

 

Doesn't know much about his daily driver and doesn't have any fun toy. Kinda sad, tbh. I get that they don't have much time, but I guess this proves the point that not all racing drivers are petrolheads as we might think?

Or maybe it's Kimi just not wasting word.

 

Don't normally like the Car Throttle videos but this one was fairly entertaining to watch thanks to Kimi being Kimi.

Came here to post that video just now, it's a very interesting piece and it's taken them a while to make it (Matt from TST's interview was in 2014, he sold that car literally 2 weeks ago!). What did you think?

Rallye is the best.

My favourite reviewer and my favourite car right now (yup, me - a Mustang fan :p)

[CarMadMike]

Heard nothing but good things about the GT350R, they're selling for a fair amount above sticker-price at the moment though which is a shame. Ford ain't Porsche, I hope they're not trying to be them. Matt Farah from TheSmokingTire raves about the GT350R too.

 

On a different note, the sequel to Gone in 60 Seconds has been released, it's now Gone in 59 Seconds:

Aren't dealer mark-ups just an American thing? When I was driving the BMW M2 I was told that I would not be offered any discount on the M2 due to the high demand and low production, but he could make me a good price on an M240i. And in the US they instead slap 5k on top of MSRP. Discounts on brand new cars are normal here. Guess it's a cultural difference, heh.

 

I don't really get why people won't just wait a year or so until the dust settles. Actually, I don't really know why people allow this dealer BS. It's just a Mustang. Not a LaF spyder.

True but isn't the GT350R just a US-market car at the moment? It would be the equivalent to the Cayman GT4 and 911 GT3 RS in Europe in the almost-new/used market I guess.

 

I don't really get why people won't just wait a year or so until the dust settles.

 

I do understand why, I know it is bad, but I do get it. I am materialistic and shallow though (this is where y'all should jump up and say NOOO you're not!), but this is the next big thing, it's new to people, new things turn people's heads but only for a short period of time and then the next big thing comes along.

 

Similar to the release of the Jag F-Type and the Merc AMG GTS, the Jag seems slightly less brilliant now the GTS has joined the market. The F-Types were everywhere by the release of the GTS. Waiting to buy a popular/exciting car just isn't something i'd do.

This is rather cool. Maybe something some cars already have but not enough haha

[RobikV3]

Older models of Ford already have that, Ive seen that few times myself, quite clever but people will still hit Your doors with theirs unless you drive Citroen Cactus

[CarMadMike]

True but it is still convenient when parking in a tight car park and squeezing out of the car :nods:

Bit of a nerdy video here but I really enjoyed it, I do like Harry and have followed Richard (the detailer) on twitter for years now, he owns a Cayman R and knows all the Evo guys, Harris etc. Worth a follow as he details all the best cars for Concours etc and tweets pics of the process, constant auto pornography for your twitter timeline.

 

 

They discuss it at the end of the video, and I have to agree, so impressive what that Countach has been through and how well used it is, for it to still look that amazing after a detail :nods:

[Eudemon]

Turn up the volume and savour it.

Unless you watched old old TopGear back in the day you might not know about these quirks of the Dodge Viper

Dramatic race end, 2 cars on the grass (not) across the line
