Off to follow your adventures on iG.
Ben won’t say it but his book is worth a read too. Especially for ghetto repairs with ratchet straps when it all goes wrong lol
Thanks for the compliment smile

And yeah, if you're not lashing your Porsche back together with rachet straps in the wilds of Africa, while being strafed by lightning, you're not pushing it hard enough... hehe

Latest update on the Gordon Murray Escort was released yesterday. If honest, there’s not much we haven’t seen already and we didn’t even get to see the painted shell. Either way though, good to see it’s moving along nicely. It’s going to be a lovely car once finished. Mind you, it wants to be after spending that kind of cash.

Been trying to play catch-up with Hoonigan lately. I really like their stuff but the sheer volume of content is huge. A nice mix of American, JDM and European cars though.

Looking at the Kickstarter page, it doesn't look like STG will be 'driving round the world', instead it looks like several consecutive city visits (which, to be fair, will make for better content).
Yes looks like "drive the world" rather than drive round it.

WTF have Dub customs done to Paul Wallace’s Lamborghini? It looks bloody awful. They’ve managed to make it look like a 15 year old Supra that failed its last MOT, but its owner was more concerned with window tints and stickers! Such a shame as it looked gorgeous when he first picked it up.

Looks pretty ok to me? Nardo Grey isn't everyones taste, pretty OEM SVish imo.

Are we looking at the same car? Apart from the dubious yellow sill writing and tinted headlights (both of which Paul clearly didn’t like in the video) it’s just wrapped in a flat grey which is almost identical to a popular OEM colour.

It was most well known from The Dark Knight:



And here is a factory car:



And Paul’s car:

Looks like grey primer to me. Certainly does nothing for the shape of the car. As for the lettering on the kick plate and tinted headlights? Just leave well alone.

I think it looks great, but then I do like the spec he was going for in that grey.

One thing that does clash is the yellow detail with the red interior stitching though... looks odd, especially when you open the door with that stupid sill plate lettering.

Needs some of the black detail adding on the front splitter though IMO.

Also, just caught up with Shmee's GT-R760 video.... that takes some serious balls to go out late, in the wet, in your first drive of that car around the 'ring. Also sounds like a monster!

Isn’t Nardo is a much lighter grey than Grigio Telesto? Not a fan.

I watched SOL's video last nite and while a lot of his videos make me cringe and i generally don't watch them to the end, but this one was actually pretty good.

Nice wrap done on the car and if im honest the tinted lights didn't look too bad. All in all it hasn't turned out too bad. I do wish he would stop banging on about exhausts though....

Funniest thing i saw in the comments was along the lines off:

Video of wrap....... Done

Video of exhaust..... Coming

Reasons why i am selling...... Also coming very soon

lol

Assuming there's a track section of driving, they're usually mounting many sets of wheels to the same car, or changing tyres a lot so they simply don't bother with the TPMS sensors to save time.
