That was an EG Civic.

No, you’re actually wrong on this one. The Nurburgring is especially bumpy - much more so than you’d expect a freeway to be, so if your car suspension is hard, you’re probably going to have a sore back after driving Nurburgring as well.

It would take MUCH more than $200 to buy the 4 door over the 2 door... seriously, that thing is UGLY - almost as ugly as the A7 even!

Until someone skips up to you as you drive through the pits and berates you for something that clearly falls within the rules, and is quite obviously not hidden, and not giving you any advantage but is actually a safety device. Maybe then one’s attitude might change.

Yeah, I also noticed how he didn’t have his harness tightened up properly. That’s how you know he doesn’t take driving seriously - that harness should be holding him tight in the seat (when you’re actually racing, the harness makes a huge difference)

Nah, more likely all Steve Irwin’s shows. He’s much more badass than Walker.

He’s not wrong. ;)

There is literally water pouring out the doors, meaning the cabin was full of water too.

Watching this makes my neck sore! Why didn’t he aim the camera’s down slightly. I feel I have to strain my neck to get the right angle haha.

No, move out of the passing lane.

No, he’s left his indicator on to show you he wants to overtake - this is common in most countries where people know how to drive (Germany)

A guy was driving about 20km slower than the speed limit in the fast lane, with no cars in the inner lanes. I pull up behind him and flash my headlights... tailgating for a second to show him I’m there, when he pulls up the handbrake... I easily brake and avoid him... his car on the other hand locks up only the left

I went snowboarding - went up the mountain in the morning and it was clear, but it snowed all day leaving the road in a poor condition for the afternoon trip down. It was my first time driving in snow, so I was very careful. There were 4 guys in 4wd cars (Subaru Legacy, Subaru WRX, Mitsubishi Legnum, Evo 4) messing

Talking about LSD. Not sure about the newer cars, but my B5 S4 definitely had an LSD up front - could feel it working on the track.

I’m so glad I’m not the only one that thinks the F50 is ugly. (The other one I think is ugly is the Enzo, which I know I’m going to get flamed for).

Now playing

My first car was a 1987 Opel Kadett 1.3 LS (4spd manual) which was a hand-me-down from my parents in 1997. Opels in South Africa of this era had a good name because of the legendary Superboss (see video below) which ruled Group N track racing during the early 90's (BMW had to go to a 2.7 325is to beat them).

So how do you get the sleeve out?

Another similar one is why do we jam on the brakes? Surely jam would stop brakes working? One more - Mercedes-Benz cars being called “Mercs” anywhere that’s not America. I don’t have a source, but the story goes that an American article mentioned Merc (Meaning Mercury) and the Brits saw it and thought they were

Sorry, even $1.4m (NZ) is not going to buy you a house in Ponsonby - maybe a small 1 or 2 bedroom apartment..

The parking brake thing does work - to a degree. We used to use this to get our ute up the grass bank on the farm in the rain.
