It can't be that legendary then if it's not recorded on the wiki and he needs to remind people about it himself.

Yes. Custard came before Plato, but I can't find it. It's not on the legendary thread wiki.

Although not the first, I believe Tbop's custard test was the most impressive. I wonder if he is out of prison yet?

He's the custard test OG is he not?

If you're referring to Plato then yes, the whole thing came about for Plato to prove who he was to the forum. No idea what this Neil has to do with it.

Neil Clifford is the originator of the PH Custard Test, not Plato.


Edit - it's referenced further up the thread.

Edited by Fifty on Monday 19th February 15:26

Custard was along well before Clifford and Plato.
Stolen Recovered’s Lambo thread was 2007, Plato’s 2010, Clifford’s CSL thread was 2012. Clifford’s was certainly up there as one of the best Custard tests though, lots of apology’s on there!

No, I was referring to Neil Clifford

Thanks for that.

I remember reading that thread at the time and enjoying it. Even better now knowing it was Neil behind it all.

Funny how quickly people were calling him out - this place never really changes

Llandow Laps 3. Toyota Yaris GR vs something else

More and more we see these days- old metal, restomods ‘deliver’

Latest episode 54.

Game: Cheese or Service Station. Love it!

And the section on spotlights. Multiple trouser accidents over some of the hot picks. Oof!

Listening to this as I passed Gordano this morning. I didn't check the toilets

I was disappointed that none of them chose Britney’s ‘Oops, I Did It Again’.

Was a great episode today.

Loved the game and the playlist

Llandow Laps 4. Mercedes AMG SL63 vs Porsche Boxster Spyder RS.



I'm never going to afford either, but I don't want either of them. The Merc is too much tech and I'd rather have a Boxster with a proper roof than the Spyder's temporary tent thing, or I'd have a Cayman .

It's a real shame that all of these seem to have been filmed at the same time in the cold and wet. It's basically just rewarding anything 4wd. I know its free and I don't like criticising YouTube content to much but it does seem to be limiting the whole thing a bit. Like I would Love to see what that Mini racer could do in the dry.

Do we reckon it all got filmed in one day or something? As CH has discussed on podcasts before that renting tracks to make CH on cars didn't make money without the financial input of Youtube. So would make sense to bang through it in a couple of days but get lots of videos to spread the cost out and release over a period of time.

It certainly looks like they filmed it all within a day or two (eg. the Yaris vs Mini was not the same day) which I suspect is the most cost effective way to do it. But you are at the mercy of the weather, and could be waiting for weeks for a dry day at this time of year.

Only my opinion but I'm finding all these videos quite dull. I think you're right in that they seem to have been filmed at the same time.

You can see lots of the cars in the background I think, from the couple I watched. Agree they are quite dull. On a par with Car Wow drag races for me.

Carwow drag races are nowhere near comparable in time, effort, creativity and the amount of useful information delivered. It's the first iteration of a concept so of course it's not going to be perfect at the first attempt. I find the BTS content really insightful as well. Hopefully they get luckier with the weather for future rounds

I don't disagree they with you that they are objectively better.

I personally just don't find them very interesting. Nowhere near on a par with most Chris Harris YouTube content over the years. Perhaps its the cars? Perhaps I'm bored of track comparisons? Just doesn't grab me.
