Mallets, beaded edges and cuppas? That's proper motorsport, reckons matty_prior
What’s also special about the VSCC is that the big tool chest of modern race teams tends to be a small brown leather bag with some spanners and a mallet in it instead. And rather than having air jacks and wheel guns and a computer to plug a car into inside an extravagant marquee, the VSCC modus operandi of race preparation tends to be wheeling a priceless family heirloom off a trailer and then having a cup of tea. I’m on board with this.
Didn’t adverts used to be aspirational? I’m sure they did. Yet watching YouTube recently was depressing. There were ads for weight loss , followed by a bloke in his garden moaning about having to do the nine-to-five and missed investment opportunities along the way. The messages were clear: don’t miss another chance, you fat wastrel. Crikey. Somebody try to sell me a lifestyle again.
Earlier this year, there were stories online about how American vehicles had become “the size of a Sherman tank!”. This is nonsense. Yes, American pick-up trucks are long. The Sherman is 5.8m long and so are some pick-ups. But it’s small for a tank, weighs 33 tonnes and does 0.7mpg. Not even the biggest truck gets anywhere near those figures. Length is a stupid way to compare randomly selected vehicles. Stop it.
