calster17 replied to Andreas¹'s topic in Automotive Discussion
It's good to see this sort of lighthearted jabs. :) Never expected it to get the green light for inner-family jabs though, can't wait to see what Porsche throw back. hopefully they throw a winners trophies back at them. ;) -
RIP Rik Mayall - Comedy Genius Dies at 56
calster17 replied to Eudemon's topic in General Discussion
The man a legend, even being my Avatar image for the past month or so! :( I'll post what I posted on my FB: Rick (With a silent P), Lord Flashheart (Woof!), Charles Bedford (The Bombardier, BANG-ON!) or just Rik. Sad to hear that the comedy Legend Rik Mayall passed away today. One one the first comedian & actors I came to liking thanks to his role as 'Rick' in the Young ones & also being 'Lord Flashheart' in Blackadder and later trying the beer Bombardier due to him being in the adverts (The only time I can think of that I've tryed something thanks to advertising). A true legend and will always be remembered! - I've picked out 3 videos from the roll's i remember him best from, some slight NFSW language in some of them: Young ones... Black Adder... And Bombardier...- 3 replies

Car Spotting: What You Saw Recently! - Part 2
calster17 replied to The Queen's topic in Automotive Discussion
Another weekend, another car event for me (that's been like a Month & a half I've had car stuff on!) Was at the British Drift Championship today( Sadly not the Gumball3000, but was only like 25 miles away from it). All the cars you expect from Drifting but this one has always pipped my interest. [ATTACH]20515[/ATTACH] What a nice S15 Silvia there with it's lovely SR2...what a tick! [ATTACH]20516[/ATTACH] Viper V10, because why not! :lol: Reason behind the swap? The guy likes the style of the S15, and has always liked the viper...so when a Viper engine came up for grabs he put 2 & 2 together!! :D Should have pic's taken on my camera by the end of the week, forgot to pack the USB for it and im away from home for a week...- 3,087 replies

My way of finding out how much fuel/money my car gets me is the best real world way. Fill your car up on the Monday before work and see how long a tank lasts you on average. Full tank of my Civic gets me 375 miles(give or take) before the fuel light comes on. Average fuel bill is £60 a full tank (55 litres) Claimed MPG is one thing, but in the end its how many miles per money you actually get in the real world is another.

"It seemed normal at first, her car had broken down and she needed to be at the airport in time to greet her friend as she came home. I was't in a rush and was heading that way. After small chat, out of the blue she asked..." [ATTACH]20513[/ATTACH] *Excuse the fact the car, background & time of day have changed...

Keep in mind the engine size of the car in question is a 660cc inline 3 turbocharged monster that redlines at around 10,500rpm & the turbo doesnt kick in till 6,000! And weighs the same as a 20 JPS! :) Noting really compared to now (average of a claimed mid 60's MPG combined), but back in the early 90's it was surely something, considering that for the Cappuccino it was tuned for fun more than economy.

They look so averagely dull...which is why they seem so appealing to me! :) - MPG figures for the coffee, not bad for 20 years old.

calster17 replied to The Queen's topic in Automotive Discussion
Was at yet another car show in the weekend, never took any pic's of stuff my self. Had a good chat with the owner of a Honda S800 Coupe, one of the very few Original UK cars left! As well as with other owners there.(TVR's, Old MG's, Triumphs, E-Type, etc, ) Also a Formula-E car was on display.- 3,087 replies

Any actual word it's going to be TDU style open world? I mean they could remove the barriers but still have it so you 're-spwan' if you go too far out of bounds. Kinda like how rally games do it. Does look & sound nice, but not going to get a Xbone just for it. Just it wont be perfect unless it has THAT car in it. ;)

Does look like, like all next gen games. :nods: Now I hope this game has the best car ever to brace the Forza games....YOU guys know what can I'm on about. ;) --- Post Updated --- Btw, just seen this pop up on my FB And the two pics posted already. The quality is down alot as I've just linked them over from FB.

Looking better every time I see it! :D Btw, whats the car next to you?

Dam, though it was the Chery QQ, which the doors retro-fit onto the Daewoo Matiz. :lol: (Chery coped the car) Was going to suggest the Tata Nano, but the front end bulges out too much for that(And Looks older than the Nano design wise) Looks like I'll trawl threw my depths of Chinese car knowledge, and if that fails cross the border into India! :mhmm:
-
I know the car in which the manufacture coped. ( So much so, that the doors of the cars fit each other!) Just cant for the life of me remember the name of the manufacture who make this! It's not a Chery is it?
