Mat Tea Why Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 Damn I missed it. When's the repeat?(Apart from 3 years time on Dave ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 He didn't do it to stop the air going in though... Yes he did! In order to reduce the drag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom_ Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 (edited) Yes he did! In order to reduce the drag.Yea, thats what I was going to say, I was literally halfway through typing a reply explaining it all. Then got bored and stopped.The only other possible advantage created by the tape could have been a smoother air flow, rather than say a plain blocked grill.Damn I missed it. When's the repeat?(Apart from 3 years time on Dave )Never heard of the wonders of BBC Iplayer? Edited November 9, 2008 by Tom_ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Duck Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 That was cool.Reving the nuts off their cars next to some parked SUVs and making the alarms go off. Priceless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan6061 Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 Yes he did! In order to reduce the drag.After a quick debate on msn, Muel claims that he meant the same as me, he just didn't say it...It sounded like he was saying Hammond did it to stop the air cooling the engine? Atleast I read it that way.. anyway, that salt place looks fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess, the tape was a pretty blunt surface, so might have had a pretty adverce effect.I have no idea really, just a basic kinda thought. Its pretty impossible to tell from just looking really..

Has anyone seen my shoe? Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 Yes the air going to the engine would mean increased drag so in a way he did do it to stop the air going to the engine but he just wanted to reduce drag, if the hole was for cooling an inflatable moose I think he still might have done it. You both meant the same thing just interpreted it differently.good episode though, the car alarms bit was good. Also iplayer wont have it on til about thursday because I believe there is a repeat on wednesday, then they put it on after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On all those aluminium/plastic underbellies? Really?There's really not much to corrode on any of those cars on the underside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom_ Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 (edited) On a less technical note, who else thought the new charger looks, and sounds super cool? I want to know if theres a manual version..EDIT: For no reason atall Edited November 10, 2008 by Tom_ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to know if theres a manual version..Don't know on the manual thing, but i'd love to know, and agree with you on the looks and sound. It's technical by the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom_ Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 After a shit google search I think I have discovered its auto only, which is pretty crap. I dont plan on buying an auto until I loose an arm/leg or become too old and boring to drive a manual. Kinda ruins the car for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doopdoopbedoop Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 Absolutely no reason to buy it unless it comes in manual...anyone who argues against this point is a raging homosexual Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Booth Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 imagine the corrosions under the arches after driving on that! looked pretty fun though..The corrosion? On all those aluminium/plastic underbellies? Really?Specially considering the lack of water to speed up the corrosion on those non steel cars Was a good episode, love the look of the new charger! Good to see they kept a very similar shape/styling to the old one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anzo Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 Depends on your driving environment, surely? I know people who live in Central London who have automatics just because of the regular 'stop start stop start' traffic - its just a lot easier, same with motorways too.Personally, I'd rather have an automatic than a manual at the minute.

Jaffacakes Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 Manual! Changing gears fun, and you can do j turns and drive faster.Automatics slow, gay and boring. I think the only advantage you get out out of automatic is, left foot breaking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
