I see STG is promoting on Instagram some tawdry nicotine vape partnership with the Formula One at Silverstone.
Bad Form all round.
(TBH I'd rather die a painful early death from vaping than go to Silverstone to watch F1).
I remember TGE, Archie etc all promoting that stuff a while back too. Nicotine stuff that gets around the tabacco advertising ban, sneaky and underhand. Absolutely agree it's bad form, shows they'll do anything for a quick buck.Bad Form all round.

Enjoyed the latest TDC video on the FTO, somewhat original and good fun to delve into 'what lies beneath' - by that I mean the fake floor, seats etc.
And reminds me of the effort and £££ that people used to pour in to cars back in the day, back when 18s on a Saxo were wowsers. Downward said:

I agree, a number of people on this thread seem to think that someone "in the public domain" means that you can openly slate them about their apparence, finances and their personal relationships.
Sad & pathetic
Didn’t know we had signatures.Sad & pathetic

There’s a certain type who modded their cars like this though. You imagine they now drive some german car with pops and bangs map.
I hated these type of cars they looked s

My favourite was when I was a member of the Almera owners club and someone had gold leafs & gold plated their engine bay on a phase 2. Different time. Rusty Old-Banger said:

He was surprised when he told me and I knew what he was on about. He's not a car guy.

I used to buy Max Power most months, the nearest I came to modifying my car was replacing the tape player with a Alpine 3CD head changer (that constantly jammed when changing discs)I still remember my brothers friend buying new alloys and tyres for his Mk3 golf on finance (possibly from Halfords?)
This idiot was on Spendaholics and spent £23K modifying a Fiat Stilo (which was nowhere near finished)
I liked it too - but was never an FTO fan - especially an auto - seems like a dreadful basis for a project
If only they could have got hold of 'Project Thunder'.. Although last I heard it went through a shop window
What were the other Max Power project cars?.. A hideous escort was one.

Wow, that Pink Escort brings back memories, that was my Max Power era
Project 2000 is now owned by this person. You’ll see on their timeline the state of it when it was bought early last year. It’s had a full ground up rebuild and brought back to its former glory, now looking like it did back in the day…https://www.instagram.com/rs_jamie?igsh=ZGNwNTVoen...

Thanks for commenting this as that's not a channel I follow.I had a couple of FTOs (and loved them) and still on occasion hunt the classifieds to see if there's a good one for sale. I stumbled across that car a few weeks ago and sent the link to friends, showed my wife etc as it was so ridiculous!
I clearly should have immediately bought it and made a youtube video!

You make some good points about Misha but at the same time why the witch hunt for him and none of the other hundreds of drivers that crash every week in racing series all over Europe. You claim you're "concerned he's going to injure someone or worse", so what's your ideal remidiation or consequencs for Misha? A lifetime ban from the Nurburgring? The German Motorsport Federation revoking his Racing Licence? YouTube suspending his channel?
You and many others here have already made it clear you think he's a bad driver and I think we all get it, but the constant pile-on is quite tiresome
The difference? He's the only one constantly promoting his driving on social media to make money. He's the only one who seemingly accepts no blame for his failures. He's the only one who falls back on an army of Stans to support him when he's in the wrong. He's the only one trying to crowdfund his way out of his responsibilities.You and many others here have already made it clear you think he's a bad driver and I think we all get it, but the constant pile-on is quite tiresome
People tend to comment on stuff that gets heavily promoted. I don't follow him on any platform, yet his content gets pushed to me with alarming regularity.
I'm not sure anyone is looking for "consequences". It would just be nice if he slowed down and toned down the clout chasing a bit.
Yellow flag in that zone had already been displayed in previous lap. Oh and some laps earlier also clocked at 95 km/h during a Code 60.

I think it would take quite a lot of money to make that car road legal judging by the rust.

I was working at TSR performance when they did the engine for the Corrado project carAnyways the ‘hideous escort’ you refer to was my dream car and I recall dragging my girlfriend reluctantly 200 miles to the Earl’s Court motor show in around 1995 purely to see it. She wasn’t impressed lol
