This year’s Leadfoot Festival is on the weekend after next. Obviously I have tickets and I can’t bloody wait! Think of it as Goodwood lite with fewer rules.

From the GM parts bin, there are a set of factory fitment RECAROs that came on top trim Opels and Vauxhalls (SRi, GSi, GT), these are awesome 80's style RECAROS. I have made one into an office chair for my home office and it is just awesome. The side bolsters have steel framing so can be adjusted to any body size

Exactly, could you imagine the chaos??

Yeah new Top Gear sucks blah blah, but Chris Harris is a boss, also not gentle at all with cars, however a fair bit more respectful than the original yobbish trio :P

Poor RWD, just can’t hold the line.

We had a ‘Serena’ as a family wagon. It was fun to drive, but the body panels were made from pepsi cans and the lug nuts enjoyed snapping at every other tire change. In all a fun yet fragile machine that I will remember fondly.

I would have settled for WITNESS!

Opel works racing colors ... on a FORD!?

This is a very helpful piece of advice. Thank you for airing it as this kind of thinking opened up a new world for me and changed my car buying habits.

the 1190RX Sounds like sex, goes like stink and I think it looks incredible. HOWEVER after trying one out at my local Buell / Benelli dealership, the feeling that lingered was ‘built to sell, not built to last’, I had my Aprilia to compare side by side and the materials choice was rather questionable on the Buell. Not

Most negative commenters are asshats anyway mate, just ignore the arseholes in the comment section and carry on writing mint motorcycle content. Case in point the pack of retards that decided to jump on you for this particular article, why salute their existence with a reply?

Bahaha! My profession has huge rewards at my level, shit I’m not complaining about my lot buddy, my professional life couldn’t be more awesome in fact and I’m not exactly struggling.

I’ve wondered this too, I work in product development and am surrounded by much more talented and intelligent people than myself every day. Yet when i tell a stranger what we do they just give me a blank stare...

These are obscenely good when traction is scarce, we call them a Colorado 7. I once saw one on damp turf towing a trailer with a 1 ton excavator on board and also pulling a Hyundai X35 also towing a trailer loaded with camping gear up a steep embankment.

As a kid in South Africa during the late 80's and early 90s (where they have made quite a few Opel models for decades) an Opel was usually the fastest car on the block. They had quite a few rocketship models that set the young motorhead’s heart racing. Opel also knocked the BMW E30 off it’s perch as the one to back at

Not so Japan only, we got loads of these things. They’re as cheap as a packet of fags and a stick of gum at the moment.

I would say that the 0-100 metric is of great importance, most of what I see bike cops doing is waiting on the side of the highway, picking an offender, then launching into pursuit. Being able to get to an exceed highway speeds faster allows them to shorten the pursuit time and merge with traffic faster too.

Heh, I did the clutch on my ol’mans R1150R, it sounds complicated when written, but in actuality it’s rather straight forward to do in the average home garage.

You ever sat on a BMW R1200RT? Have you even seen one in full police interceptor spec? If all day comfort is your thing, then look no further, heated seat, heated bars, adjustable seat height, quick release storage canisters for accident response. I think you’ll find the Harley will not have any more storage space
