Swansea boyo!

Hope they get a new presenter by next week, preferably one who can actually drive properly!

They don't die, they just get faster!

Enjoyed that, the average ford enthusiast seems like a nice chap :)

Speeding is like masturbating, everyone does it, but not all of us film it and put it on the internet

Compared to a lot of the dog shit car related programmes like classic car rescue and chop shop etc, I thought it was good and seemed to make a nice job of it.

Just a shame they didn't focus on the restoration more

I think its more the history behind a historic cultural classic and saving one at the same time, and the harris family can build some engine

Done now needs redoing lol

There was a nice looking and sounding mk2 at mini vs beetles yesterday going up the strip.

Standard looking in white with the the blue stripe and x-pack wheels.

That my friend, stripe wise was an escort harrier, or at least a recreation of one from a base model if it wasn't genuine, I didn't pay much attention to the rims but I don't think they were x pack as these are 7.5 wide-I think it may have just had the std rs 4 spokes on it. either way it had really low profile tires cos the wheels looked like sofa castors, nice car though

Watched this this morning with my eldest, and thoroughly enjoyed it!
Used to have a Mk2 RS2 - hate to think what it'd be worth now! Lovely cars, lovely balance to them.
When's the mini episode?

I stand corrected on the the Harrier BUT they were wider than standard 4 spokes.

Just seen it, what a bunch of twats. That engine builder said he machined his own pistons from solid, then said they were stronger because they were forged - which are they then - billet or forged?

I seriously doubt it!

I'm looking forward to reading the critique on the Mini episode - I know who build the engine for them.

Metric is for people who can't do fractions.
