Camel

1:34.161 after a few "warm up" crashing laps.
 
And here's what it looks like to drive this car on this track. Damn tram lines!
 

 
But yet again the Xbox DVR has messed up the video record and cut a few seconds out towards the end. :fp:

I've never played WoT before but after watching that I really want to play it. It looks quite fun and somewhat amusing with the movement of the tanks. :lol:
 
Here's when I broke The Division. The voiceovers went a bit mad and just started playing random ones for a while.
 

You know I can see when you edit things, right? :p

1:16.872
 
You have about 30 seconds to post your time!

In times like these I can recommend Gourmet Ranch on Facebook. Harvested about 500 Camels.
 
Now serving at the restaurant: Camel neck soup :)

1:17.208. Teeny tiny bit of time left but I don't think I could get under 1:17.
 
This was so annoying.

I hate you guys. :lol:

'Like' if it feels good to be beating the Camel (for once) :lol:
 

 
 
Sorry mate. :smig:

Tried bleeding my brakes using the one man gravity method where you just crack the bleeder nipple open and let the fluid slowly drain out. Usually works flawlessly but this time my pedal was spongier than a sponge.
 
Then I had a thought, which was painful when I was washing my hands. Wonder if the liquid soap dispenser would be suitable to create a vacuum to pull the brake fluid through the system. So I took it out of the soap and put it into one end of some clear 5mm tubing and put my thumb over the end of the tube and pressed the dispenser. By gosh, it created a vacuum and tried to pull my thumb into the hole with no air leaks anywhere!
 
Tried it on the car but it didn't go so well sadly. But because the dispenser has a one way valve in it, you can press the brake pedal and fluid will come out of the dispenser, but air will not go back in.
 

 

Get some clear PVC tubing (fish tank tube/washer jet tube)
Cut it into 4 pieces and place one piece over each bleed nipple (hold the end in boiling water to soften it so it's stretchy before placing it on the bleeder, it will go on easy then try to shrink to it's original size once on the bleeder when it cools down creating a good seal)
Place the soap dispenser in the other side of the tube on the brake you're going to bleed (check vehicle manual for the correct bleed sequence)
Open the bleeder slightly, just enough for the fluid to come out. (only slightly so air doesn't get into the caliper past the thread)
Take the brake fluid cap off and ensure it's topped up throughout so you don't pull more air into the system
Pump the pedal repeatedly, slowly
When the fluid in the tube has no bubbles in it, close the bleeder and move the soap dispenser to the next tube/wheel
By using 4 tubes you can then go around all the wheels again quickly without having to play with your nipples again. :nods:

 
No more moaning assistant saying that their leg aches pressing the pedal for you or pints owed to any mates. From now on, bleeding brakes will only take 5 minutes for me to do.
 
I amaze even myself sometimes. Hopefully this helps somebody out. :)

Thanks guys :) I take pictures every now and then so might as well throw them up!
 
One day I was driving around trying to explore the map and a wild RobikV3 appeared! He's the other person in the photos when there are two of us :p We drove for hours, even did a cross country tour starting in New York going to Los Angeles. Good fun.
 




 
I'm in the Impala, Robik is the Eldorado, Performance spec:


 
I'm in the Mercedes 300 SLR and Robik is using the Charger, this is Circuit spec:


 
Silverado = Me, Escalade = Robik, Raid spec:




 
I'm back in the Impala, Robik is in the Corvette, this is Full stock spec:

 
Blue Agera is me, white Agera is Robik:

 
And then he had to go so alone again:

My new car to be.

Can't wait to get my hands on it now. But it probably won't be for a couple of weeks until after my trackday. I'd love to take this one on the trackday but it's got new brakes and tyres so I don't want to track a car where the brakes and tyres haven't bedded in as that would be quite expensive to fix...
 
Why am I replacing my MG TF with another MG TF? This blue one is the VVC model so it's more powerful and gives me an extra 500RPM to play with. It has 304mm disks up front with AP Racing 4-pot calipers (over my current 240mm disks with single pot sliding calipers) to go with the extra power. Bigger and nicer looking alloys (brand new) and a brand new roof with glass rear screen. Leather seats that aren't collapsed like my current drivers seat is.
 
It's also had a lot of work done to it such as new front wishbones, track rod ends, anti-roll bar and bushes along with new stainless bolts for everything so working on it in the future will be a doddle. Sure, it has 20k more miles on it than my silver one but it looks like it's been well looked after and as long as I keep on top of maintenance I shouldn't have any issues. The K series engine has been known to do more than double this mileage with no major issues.
 
It's a much nice colour. My current one still puts a smile on my face almost every time I drive it, even after 2.5 years.
 
I could upgrade my current car to this standard but it would still be silver and would end up costing more.
 
To do list:
Front splitter. This does actually help keep the car stable at speed as the front end is very light
Adjustable Spax shocks/maybe lowering springs (depends on the clearance between the splitter and local speed bumps)
Modified seat base/springs to make it lower
Engine remap. More power, more torque, better sound and much better drivability. Was the best thing I did to my silver one.
Black tail lights
Might paint the exhaust and other chrome bits black too. Along with making calipers blue rather than red.
Maybe subtle black stripes. Seen them on quite a few TFs and they look quite nice if done properly.
Heated windscreen
Slimline subs for both seats so I can hear/feel the music over the engine on motorways
Daytime running LED sidelights. Don't want anyone pulling out in front of me!
May be tempted to get a spoiler on it from the trophy version of the F. Still not sure on this though

[headline]Can You Stop The Camel?[/headline]

 
What's this about?
 
 
 
Think of it as turboduck's own Rivals, but with some proper rivalry in the community.
 
The Rules:

You must use the car (or a car that meets the restrictions) and track chosen by the previous winner.
Tuning/setups are allowed.
Dirty laps do not count, stay off the lawn kids.
Laps do not have to be from a standing start (flying laps count).
If you already have a faster lap recorded outside of the competition, this does not count, you must record another and take a picture for proof.
If you win, don't forget to chose a car/track for the next week before Monday!
Make sure to do your times in RIVALS (or free play), they will not be recorded in test drive.

i think this is all so far

Just got back from Deadpool myself. Really impressed me, it's not your traditional superhero film. Absolutely hilarious, great acting from Reynolds.
 
8/10

Deadpool. :panic:
 
I can't remember the last time I watched a Marvel/superhero/similar kind of film but boy, this film was amazing. There was one part which I laughed so much my eyes started watering, I couldn't breath and nearly lost control of my bladder. It's got love story undertones and Ryan Reynolds for the ladies and then, I'll call it action for the men. Really not sure how on earth it's only rated 15 though!?
 
10/10 will go to watch it again. :nods:

I just can't wait to get back on the road again.
 

Cheers!
