Did he say “£4,000 each” for those headlights? And that was second hand!

Ridiculous what these prices are

Got himself a free set of Nitrons though by the sound of it! Pays for a headlight!

Shame there's another issue, but as usual just laughs about it and gets about fixing it.

Also love the fact he's still buying second hand parts, his worth now must be £500k+ but still on ebay or getting pattern parts from Poland.

He has got a point the genuine parts at £3k + each is stupid if you can get a pattern part for a lot less, they cannot be seen once the panels are fitted so I cannot see any issue with them.

I fitted a pattern bumper to a car once. It took less than 12 months before a rust hole had developed,

Those parts looked easy enough to have been made by a local workshop. I'm surprised he didn't, given that he used the tig welders in the last episode.

Looked like he was having fun at Silverstone yesterday, spotted him and the crew behind Martin Brundle on the grid walk, wish he'd been interviewed instead of chasing after the dullard Brian May

He was walking around the grid?

Hats off to him for getting where he has from the Audi TT, but he seems to put really long hours in when in his unit.

No pain, no gain I guess and doing a job he and his team throughly enjoy. Well done.

IIRC they'd already done some videos where they were guests of AM at their new F1 facility at Silverstone, so makes sense them being with the team at the British GP.

I love the fact this billionaire watches Matt purchase wrecks cheap form a scrappy, gets part of ebay to re-build them in a small unit.

Tavarish has finished repairing 'Sue' the donor Wraith and it's being raffled off on High Speed Comps. £5, I've had a go.

So have I........ Suuuuuuuuuu

Don't normally enter these sorts of raffles just fancy something like that to waft around in

MBS is a horrible and extremly unpopular guy in the F1 world. Some young intern probably suggested the Matt invite.

If you win it, please sort out the door alignment and the trim on the bonnet, if it's not been sorted .

It's true, but for MA it's a pretty cool life experience - are we all saying we would turn down an offer from MBS to go to Silverstone with most likely VIP access? I certainly wouldn't turn it down.

I absolutely would. I can't imagine a circumstance under which such an invitation would be extended, mind.

I'm going to have to have a go. I don't know why because I've literally never won anything in my life but at least I can be a part of it
