Last night was pretty terrible. I'd have happily given Mike £200 for those Advans even though they were looking pretty fooked hehe
"Mike, I'll give you £200"

"Ah, I can't... wot about £180?"

An ideal opportunity to use the by now well worn phrase -

"well it still wasnt as bad a Classic car rescue.."

Worst WD ever! The world does not need another drift Skyline. Such as waste of a good car that could have been so much better frown

I think that Mike and Ed must have run out of ideas for the show.

That was terrible and a waste of a car.

Looking back over the last few years they have had some really good shows but this was the worse yet. Shame really as it could of been really good.

I thought it couldn't get any worse than the Willy's Jeep show where he pointed proudly to the sky and told us a genuine Spitfire was flying past...which was actually a Hurricane.

Then i watched last night...

Drift car. Really?

On Facebook Mike said that at the time he said that a Spitfire flew by, but the editor put in footage of a Hurricane. Whether this is true or not, I don't know.

The Drift car was a bit unnecessary , It would have been OK just as a Skyline , leave the spoiler alone , don't bother with the drift suspension geometry and spend the extra on more BHP , not into modding much myself but showing how to add BHP sensibly with ECU mapping ,changing boost levels , maybe different injectors etc as well as the FMIC would have had a broader appeal . The car itself looked ok apart from the horrific spoiler and grommet filled holes

Odd that he removed triple carburettors from an injection engine though...

That's what bothered me too...

Overall, a fantastic episode. The best in this series IMO. I thoroughly enjoyed all the technical bits.

Best one for a while tonight IMO.

The head work was very interesting as was waterless coolant.

Never heard of the latter.
