Added 2023-05-28 17:01:01 +0000 UTCHello again lovely Patrons. What’s going on this time, eh? Well, we start with a nice period ad for the Allegro Equipe followed by stout soldier of the drizzly rails, Ivor The Engine, and Jonny showing off his ‘cacky Magnum’ look. Then we have old Blippi and new Blippi, Vin Diesel in his groundsman outfit, a DeLorean in Miami Vice, and the actual Allegro Equipe currently for sale.
Now some links…
Throwback to when Jonny and Richard went out in Jonny’s Charger

2023-06-02 17:18:34 +0000 UTCThe Duke boys didn't have an interior mirror in the General Lee, at least not in the one they used for 'head-on' shots. I believe it was removed so that the viewer had a clearer picture of Rosco and Enos chasing them through the rear window. On that side of things, I seem to recall that the seats were modified so that Bo and Luke sat lower in the car, rally Co-pilot style, for the same reason. Any looking round they were doing, was obviously to check on the bow and arrows they had sat on the back seat, as the arrows always seemed to have high explosives strapped to the side of them!

2023-05-31 08:27:28 +0000 UTCI really want that Allegro with its ‘low profile 165/70’ Michelins and all that. But I have a mortgage shortfall that I need to make up, so that’s where all my cash has gone. 😢😢

2023-05-30 23:34:57 +0000 UTCGoodness, that Allegro. What a sweet, sweet car. And that intro 🤣

2023-05-30 11:14:40 +0000 UTCOn the subject of engines with deep V's, the last of the Renault V10 F1 engines had a V angle of 110 degrees to sit as low as possible, when regs switched to V8s and the current V6s that angle is regulated as 90 degrees. So to follow on from the clothing analogy the last V10 Renault was definitely off of both shoulders like a slinky dress.

2023-05-30 10:59:50 +0000 UTCApparently, via a neighbour who used to work for Moonbug (Blippi owner) when Netflix bought Blippi they got in another guy. So that would make him a third generation Blippi, or Blippi Mk3, if you will. No doubt special editions will follow.

2023-05-30 09:28:39 +0000 UTC:O The thing that got my attention, he asked a friend if he could do a poo on him, I mean, if one of my friends asked me that question that is where the friendship would end.

2023-05-30 08:54:11 +0000 UTCIn my mind the model train thing is strangely more complicated than it has to be. I am the forum moderator for Scalextric and rub elbows with the much larger train side of the house. The train guys can go on for yonkers about various aspects of the hobby. Slot cars aka Scalextric are pretty much 1/32, 1/24, 1/43 or 1/64ish scale. Trains have some crazy number like over 20: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rail_transport_modelling_scales In my mind these layouts should combine cars and trains to fill them with life but that isn't all that straightforward... As an aside: The Wunderland layout in Hamburg is officially H0; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miniatur_Wunderland

2023-05-30 07:36:54 +0000 UTCGoing to the cinema alone is all well and good, but I can't help feeling a screening of Fast Ten Your Seatbelts would be immensely improved by Richard sticking his head in the door and yelling FOR FUCK'S SAKE at the exact right moment.

2023-05-30 00:58:03 +0000 UTCI think my favourite part of the pods are the Car and Classic ads these days. Top drawer stuff. I assume you used some sort of AI deepfake voice tool to get will(dot)i(dot)am's voice so accurate. Still my favourite podcast. More power to your individual elbows gentlemen.

2023-05-29 11:30:28 +0000 UTCThink of the most hyperactive and annoying child you have ever met, turn them in to an adult dressed like the guy you definitely want to avoid at the Glastonbury dance tent, then double that.

2023-05-29 11:04:32 +0000 UTCBlippi made SCAT PORN. Before he was Blippi he made other videos, in one he does a big diarrhoea all over a naked dude.
Richard Major
2023-05-29 10:07:47 +0000 UTCI think I've been lucky, I've no idea what blippi is. Now if only I'd been as lucky with peppa pig or bing.

2023-05-29 09:12:58 +0000 UTCThe original design of the Allegro was quite a looker, but the insistence to use a tall block engine meant it was doomed to be a dumpy lump.

2023-05-29 02:02:54 +0000 UTCI’ll never be able to finish saying the word “excavator” without that song stuck at back of my mind….

Rick Bean
2023-05-28 19:35:15 +0000 UTCI can remember the launch of the Austin Allegro. As a kid we lived next door to the general manager of the local Austin dealership. The night before the launch he brought one home and it was parked on his drive. I remember my Dad and I looking over this new car with the square steering wheel!

2023-05-28 17:56:13 +0000 UTCJonny needs to sort out the lampshade in that photo. It's at something of a jaunty angle!
