I was there to witness the display at Fairford this year, the scream of the engines at full chat is indescribable.

The next day, the announcer opened the Vulcan flight display segment with a statement to the lines of ‘the pilots performed an impressive trick manoeuvre yesterday, but sorry, they have been asked not to…

Stripping threads or shearing bolts by over torquing them.

I’d rather see TVR reborn than Bristol, anyday. The Tuscan II, Sagaris and Tamora could be released in a model lineup tomorrow and they’d still look brand new.

Allowing untrained personnel in the flight deck during active flight can and has caused the total loss of an aircraft in the past. Aeroflot flight 593 immediately springs to mind.

Weirdly, the euro version of this car, the Vauxhall/Opel Frontera, did come with low range as standard, as well as a 2.2l turbodiesel engine option. I used to have one, and with the front torsion bars adjusted, taller rear springs and bigger tyres it was passable offroad.

You call that terminal understeer? Piffle. PIFFLE I SAY! (Skip to 7:18 manually because Kinja)

Holy shit a functioning P38.

It floods a lot out in the countryside here.

Honda do make a RWD boxer four cylinder with a longitudinally mounted engine.

The early ones had a few kinks needing working out, but the later ones are peachy! :D

Or you could spend a whole lot less and get an S1000RR HP4 which will basically be every bit as good for everyone who isn’t Rossi...

Can we put Patrick George and Raphael Orlove in a pair of cars with tonnes of added weight strapped way up high on the roof, then have them race on a racetrack with lots of tight curves and S bends, then film the result?

As a kid, I used to think these mining trucks were made by Volvo, because of those stairs.

Lights back on, unclear if the tea and biscuits supply has been reestablished yet...

Last time I checked Bristol’s new owners weren’t even paying to keep the lights on at Kensington.

Since we’re playing this game, I’ll raise the 1UZ-FE

I give it less than a year from release before someone swaps this engine into the new Raptor. Miata six months.

Looks like a bad case of YouTubeitis - turning a minor infraction into a huge drama just so you can upload it to YouTube later.

They used to, but the project got canned. They were using Kawasaki KLR650s modified by Hayes Diversified Technologies to run on JP8 fuel.
