Did anyone watch it last night, where that bloke hit the wall in his brand new £500k maserati? Ouch! Lucky he got away with the slight damage.

 

Anyway, the reason for this thread: did anyone watch it last week where they had an update on the modifications they've carried out on their lotus esprit?

 

They must think all the people that watch it are stupid and don’t know anything about cars, etc. Now I’m no mechanic but Tiff Niddel (is that his name?) was talking major bullshit. Two points:

 

1) He said they installed a charge cooler while the pictures showed a silver can with small clear hoses flowing a blue liquid. The clip was too short to get a good look but a charge cooler and intercooler are the same thing and I doubt the turbocharged esprit is not already intercooled. The only reasonable explanation from the pictures is they installed a second air-water intercooler somewhere else in the car which is stupid because there nowhere near as efficient as air-air and would mean lots of long plumbing. It would be so much simpler to replace the stock intercooler with a bigger one.

 

2) When he was out driving the car he was demonstrating the sound of the turbocharger which was fine until he said that the shuddering almost rumbling sound when he let off the accelerator was the wastegate! WHAT??? Total crap, you can’t hear a wastegate and a wastegate would never, to quote him “waste” the air when you let off. The wastegate would be firmly shut! The sound was either a very fancy dump valve that made the strange sound (I doubt it) or as I suspect, the turbocharger was going into surge and coughing its tits off. Those turbos will not last very long.

 

Just kind of pissed me off that a car programme would say these things which are clearly untrue.

 

Yaseen

I understand why you have such a nom de plume.

 

Just a little advice though. TRY SOME POSH TOTTY MATE. I tell you they really are game for anything and always at a canter or full gallop. Then you'll see the attraction.

 

I Promise its true :D :D :D

 

Tally Ho old boy

Doesn't stop her face from looking like a bulldog licking piss off a thistle though, does it?

Dear oh dear, poor 'ol ya5een posts up a perfectly sensible thread about the technical aspects of a Lotus Esprit and all we do is go ranting on like a bunch of horny dogs about one of the presenters of the program.....

....sorry about that ya5!! :rofl: :rofl: :slap: :rofl: :D

This place cracks me up! :)

 

 

Most threads do seem to dwindle down to "leg over" discussion, I think its coz its next in line after engines and stuff.

I understand that it would get boring if I was to repeat it and assure you I have no intention of using it more than the once. However your assurances are obviously those of a man lacking any volume of experiance and I can honestly say that by good grace my looks, interllect and physique have always availed me of copious female experiance. I can therefore speak with authority when I say that the lack of virtue held by the seriously upperclass Female is more than compensated for by their lustful eagerness. Not found in the general girly population and the better looking a none posh bird the less they feel they need to please.

 

Good. Now you realise make sure you send me all your post first. Then I can tell you where your going wrong.

Yeah, but at least we got to see VBH's tits bouncing all over the place when she was driving the TVR! :dance: :rofl: :eek: ;)

 

Trickey Munter Henderson you mean, swear she's packing a sausage cannon!!!
