Saw this posted in SFX thread - thought it would be of major interest to Chris, if he could get something like this down for a race series... would just be mind blowing.
Shame it's in Japanese though.

 
Hey lads, it seems that Cornwall has never really developed internet. Sitting outside, to get connected and only getting 1.2mb/s according to speedtest.

I can't see the vid Sean but I did have a concept for a new race event, a 'clash of the titans' sorta deal, with one car from each of the top manufacturers for a 3-night race series on maybe Daytona Road, Trial Mountain and Nürburgring.

I put together a list of 16 manufacturers that could compete:

Mercedes
Mclaren
Ferrari
Maseratti
Lamborgini
BMW
Nissan
Lotus
Ford
Chevy
Audi
Jaguar
Aston Martin
Alpha
Lexus
Toyota

We could either run stock or tuned and have backup drivers for each. What ya' think?
 
Yeah Skype's dumb and wont work as a messaging system, so must both be on for me to get the message.

You could send it on FB, or when I come on again. Let's say 7:30? Can try talking on skype then.
 
Yeah We're all too lazy to go change it :/... I'll never forget that song in the lounge with Michael, Prbably my best memory of him <3.. hahaha.. Aww man, Manji down a tunnel "Tunak Tunak Tun Tunak Tunak Tun Tunak Tunak Tun Tadada"

I now have this playing in the garage for laughs hahahaha..

Oh come on... don't be a couch potato now :sly:👍 .
 
Nahh, was munching a Dominoe's :). I'll get back to work soon. Not got much to do anyway. Just gotta fix up my car a little.
 
I'm a mechanic and I'm sure the boss doesn't mind me being on GTP at all, 1 bit, not in the slightest. :)

Well of course your boss wouldn't mind you being on GTP because its a car related site. Either that or your boss is very kind, and I know lots of people would kill to have a boss like yours.

And since you're a car mechanic, does that mean you are good with car setups? :D

EDIT: Now that you mentioned it, I want to be a car mechanic... :indiff:

I hate to say it MSTER... but Jimmy is his own boss :(

Now that makes sense. Of course Jimmy's boss (which is himself) wouldn't mind him going on GTP. Not at all :) .

Car setups? What terms are you meaning? Suspension geometry? Engine tuning and so on?

Yes, like that. Or unless you are the type of mechanic that only repairs cars.
 
Yeah I know some of it.. I do some engine rebuilds with bits and bobs added like turbos, boost controllers, Superchargers and get a friend in to remap etc.. I know the basics of Suspension Geometry but I try to stay clear of it incase customers complain. I let them chose the numbers, I just do the work.

I odn't do work on Corsa's etc if they want tuning. I just outright say no. it's an ordinary garage, I don't turn away any work unless its just total stupidity. A little chav wanted me to fit a turbo to a 1.1 saxo.. I was like, srsly?
