Do yall remember when Bernie Ecclestone said that F1 should be more dangerous?
so explain
why are you spending 22 hours a day here on discord instead of fixing up that thing 
How many kms?
Money and classes
I think originally it was 1k kms
No idea though
legally it belongs to my dad atm but he plans to pass it down to me
working on fixing it and streaming on twitch more to make money to fix it
I vaccuum and de-dust her every sunday though.
Only 1k km🤔
the original owner died so we can't really ask him
my assumption is 1k
also there's a gash in the fender
my dad had a MK1 then sold it then bought this MK2
Oh ok
so at the moment my plan is to get large enough on twitch to rake some more money in for the escort
RN we're tryna buy a new fender, brakes and give her a touch up
How much will it gonna cost?
I think around 2-3k USD which isn't so bad
the engine is fully intact
No piston or valve replacement needed
Getting the engine running is my current goal
Then its brakes
then wheels
then the fender
Oh i posted in a wrong time
hmm what

Hahahahah
The Artura door handle annoys the shit out of me
that car has beautiful floating lines and the swift design mclaren does so well
And then the door handle
and then boom shitty looking door thing dangling off of it like they got it from a used 90's car
it's like a mole on someones face
you can't stop focusing on it

it’s pretty fucking bad
It wouldn't be enough to stop me from getting one but damn would I want to rip it off
and fill the hole it makes with ramen and the glue like those videos lmao
Guys, why did car manufacturers stop building cara with pop-up headlights?
Like the classic NSX has?
Because pop-up headlights are considered dangerous
Really? :o
Yes imagine if someone gets hit with a car that has pop-up headlights
They were also just generally less practical then normal lights
Is this a real question lol, other than the funny cult like following they have they are literally useless on every single level
they are dangerous, more components, cause drag
I don't understand why they existed in the first place
More unnecessary strain on the battery
Styling
The only pop up headlights that make sense are ones like the Lamborghini Miura
They are flush with the car but when needed they poof a little up
they aren't a drag or a pointy safety hazard
they just move up a bit to function
Imo the miura is the ugliest flagship Lambo
it's iconic it could be a box and a straw and i'd still love it to death
Older lamborghini's were meant to really be touring cars
and this was the era of the trasition between metal roundness to fiberglass boxiness
And then Enzo Ferrari happened
That is still one of the most beautiful cars ever
and the 70's gave an inbetween
other way around lol
I mean, most modern Lamborghinis are luxury cars first and supercars second
Enzo was helping alfa in the early 30's before he built even bicycles
He found his passion quick
There are distinct luxury ones and distinct sport ones
sorta like ferrari
but all the luxury ones went away in the early 80's
they never sold well
I can never keep up with what Ferrari is making tbh
Lamborghini makes very good sports cars
They don't focus on luxury more
Perfomanti or something was so good with its aero
They got rid of the California so rn it seems they are making two entry level front engine cars, seems kinda saturated imo
because they are around the same price and do the same things
Isn't the 812 front-engined?
Didn't they discontinue the F12 berlinetta?
That was a limited version of it
Easily my favorite Ferrari of all time
The F12 berlinetta was what was in all the games and what not, so that's what I always knew it as
but they only go up in price
I'm not sure how I feel about the grille of the F12TDF
I like that of the Berlinetta more
The tdf is the super uber special 1 of whatever edition so I would get that if any
Honestly I probably wouldn't get a Ferrari even if I could
The 488 pista is my favorite styling wise for modern ferraris like 2010 to now
If only they weren't like $600,000 now
limited Ferrari's outperform trading gurus by just existing
Did they discontinue 488 models?
Ferrari 819
I'm not completely sure but technically they'd have to because the f8 is the 488's successor
I think they are in the transition of doing so
I don't really like the front end of the 812 much
The rear end is damn fine
That's better
My dad had clients who had mansory cars, and they all told him that anything you give to mansory expect it to be double the price at least when it comes out.
homies 🗿
So the stallone is probably like $900,000 the one in that photo
2.5x minimum usually 
forged carbon fiber looks like glossy countertop with baby fingerprints
change my mind
It's a shame ferrari is so sensitive about visual modifications of their cars
Not necessarily sensitive, they just want to make sure nobody is voiding copyright
if you are referring to the deadmau5 thing
I'm mostly referring to in video games
anything under 2x from them means you only got them to change lugnuts 
forged carbon usually does look pretty bad
I didn't know they made a convertible
They didn't return their cars to need for speed because allegedly they didn't like seeing their cars changed with aftermarket mods
Isn't that technically a targa?
Sounds like something Toyota would also do
i'm glad the supra is back in fh4
Did it for a different reason
They didn't like their cars having something to do with street racing
idiots
Something about their cars promoting it or some such BS
They are racing my cars in a video game, it is causing violence pull the plug
If they don't put the is300 in the video game i'll just speed in the real life one and send the video to Toyota

I'm more disappointed Lexus didn't return then Toyota did
I want the LFA in need for speed
I'd buy it so quickly
I wonder what's going to happen to the customization aspect of NFS
i never enjoyed need for speed, it's more like a dave and busters game than anything realistic so i never got any satisfaction out of it.
Since the main guy who designed the body kits and what not left EA
And they removed Toyota’s from forza motorsport
It has nothing to do with street racing
Which is what perplexes me
I can understand their withdraw from NFS somewhat
But why Forza
Visibility 100
dont care if you mind but im gonna steal this one
yez
I like the one on the left side of the observer.
fucking hooters lmao
The two things that make life, fast cars, and big bahoongus
I see this combination as an absolute win


@gray linden

That Bugatti will go to the left
Old , F1 , and future
This is for the entrance plaza
Thank you soooooo much 😭
I dunno where you're gonna get a 3D model for it though
Here's the Lamborghini Sían, the other car I mentioned
I think the Bolide is more futuristic though
Are the models just for show
Or are you gonna put a description for each of them
I got the model for the Bugatti
The Bolide?
yes
That was quick
Np
Are the models just for show @gray linden
Or is there gonna be a description for each car
Ah
sian kinda cute
I'm not sure how I feel about the Sían
all of the specs are shit except that one 
Thanks 😊
My poor pc gonna explode😭😭😭
That's just the entrance plaza..still showroom, race track, off road courses, expo hall, car museum, food court , arcade, shopping area left
Go kart too
Dayum

I have some questions about viability of upgrades to a car
Specifically a mustang, that's a daily driver, that doesn't have a garage to lockup in
why do you call cars cute?
isn't that a term typically reserved for humans/animals?

@barren thorn #ps4|other-lfg
Wagon?
yah
big brain time
csr2(or 3? how many csrs are we on now) has a model of the bolide
mobile game models are generally not good, but hey, if your standards are low and you're desperate enough to make garbage
you can use csr's bolide model
Well technically you only need 3 things to be in F1:
- A Super License (no getting around grinding for that, I'm afraid)
- A broke team
- A very rich dad who spoils you silly
Take Lance Stroll, remove his talent, add in a bunch of undesirable traits, and you get Mazepin.
Speaking of Stroll, can't wait to see him effortlessly whoop Vettel's ass again this week 
senna homies
senna gtr 
🗿
wdym
it’s got the best rear windshield also
@broken token 🌶️
one of the rarest muscle cars in the world
hemi cuda convertible '71 street power four speed manual had 3 made
thats just the street power hemi convertible
not as rare, but still only like 20 made

We don't have a :POGGERS: on this server and you don't have Nitro
Right, my nitro just expired
@ashen carbon rate the car 🥺
coolio
parking problems
hmm
nah the camera is good enough for that
beautiful car
i thought it was removed to save weight
a track car doesnt need a rear view camera does it
hardtop version also
@broken token

also @buoyant vigil from where are u getting these pics
i remember you sending a pic of omar's pfp in a chiron hud
ah
Omar’s garage
Not sure exactly what ive sent here but it’s either from thermal, a friends car or mine. I believe I’ve only sent a few from thermal though
these are from thermal 🗿
same senna but it was just for typical thermal shit 
What kind of sound does a hydrogen-powered engine make? Following Toyota's recent announcement that it will test an under-developed hydrogen engine in a 24-hour race, Toyota Times has released a "sound" teaser.

@loud spade
@proper elbow
They better have ram cold air intake or im out
I’m not against the grill, but the older model definitely looks better
that grille is pretty ugly
i'd prefer to not have a little split down the middle
I prefer the older ones too no doubt but I still think it looks good, I my self have an e90
Looks like my washing machine
lol
bUt StRoLl DoEsNt HaVe sKiLl
DaDdY HoLd ThE sEaT fOr HiM
Well, Daddy did hold the seat for him, but at least he's a consistent scorer these days.
exactly
Its not like he's going to yeet it to the wall every damn day
he brought the car home and usually with some points too
If the car wasnt a piece of shit, but hey
You know, for all the Mazepin drama, I think I've come to enjoy having him on the track.
To satisfy my morbid curiosity of the possibilities of the "worst driver on the roster + worst car on the grid" dream combo.
not everyone can pull an Alonso.
It's fantastic
Another sub section of spectacle
And yea
Stroll is just better than Vettel

Vettel should call it a day and enjoy retirement
Damn
Russell just slamming his Williams into p3
Oh sweet, Ilott is on track for alfa
Ilott beating Mazepin 
Is haas going to get any significant aero upgrades
Nothing at all
They're done for this year
I swear everytime I see an onboard of Mazepin my brain creates an illusion of him spinning and going into the wall
mazespin
I can't help it
Honestly it's usually not even an illusion
It's either the Haas is really unstable that I always see it on the verge of spinning, or I'm just blind
True.
No excuse for Mick running circles around him in another Haas though.
Also true
it is 😳
@uncut saddle @ashen carbon imagine kimi back to mclaren 😳
and then ferrari again, and then Renault

Except Renault has been reduced to atoms
I'm really interested in Porsche joining F1 in 2023
@tardy void what?
Even if it's just as an engine supplier
I wonder if Aston Martin would be interested, in case they develop their own car and chassis to fit the requirements instead of copying Mercedes like 
oh my
That turbo alone could be bigger than the engine

There's no way a stock block could handle that much boost
Don't tell me the side doesn't remind you of Alpine 
F1 2017 Spain | Alonso: "The engine feels good, much slower than before. Amazing."
Alonso’s the 🐐
I was surprised by Alpine this time, they did decent in FP3
The fact that last year’s lap times were around 16-17 and now we can barely do low 18 shows how much slower this season’s cars are
Indeed
Did you hear Charles radio after Mazepin spun in front of him?
He went "They’re doing it on purpose" 
At this point, I might believe him 
did he crash
Oh what is this? Vettel finally beating Stroll in something?

lets see how alonso gonna do
How the fuck is Ocon in p4
And how is Hamilton half a second quicker than his teammate

because that's Hamilton

not like bottas is bad
More like how is Hamilton only 0.5s quicker than his teammate 
Let's not forget his teammate raced with a fucking Williams in the last race
lmao
oof Russell
💩
@hollow cobalt @jagged sentinel @gilded kelp my friend pulled up in his new Beetle the other day
Woah that Beetle 
MAZEPIN HALF A SECOND SLOWER THAN MICK
Holy shit
Dudes catchin up!

Still shit
But catchin up
brrrrrrt
Portuguese GP is a love-hate relationship change my mind
Wow thats a beauty
It’s a really nice track but the low grip just makes it meh
And wind
Wind doesn’t go well with RBs
Waste of a chevelle
It could have been just a shitty rusted shell of one that they restored
usually art exhibits like that don't use perfectly running mint condition cars
It was not rusted tho frame looked perfect
I’m sure it wasn’t running tho you’re right
Some rich dude has a Pagani zonda as a wall divider between I think one of their dining rooms and sitting area.
but in reality
it's just the carbon fiber body
There was an art exhibit I went to
with a few of the components
It was one of the 70s beetles
They made tens of millions of beetles, and just because it is mint condition when it is showcased doesn't ever usually mean it was when they started the project
a lot of these cars for thses art things are restored
Even if that’s just a carbon fiber body, that called me poor in 300 different ways
or franenstein'd with newer aftermarket parts
Just the body of that car, my guess is $450,000
$450,000 in material but getting it in the house, shipping installing planning I bet it was over a million to do
I want that wall art lol
The billionaire who commissioned that took the phrase "wall art" to heart lol
thats a ford deluxe coupe right
"add some wall art" hangs a painting
"add some wall art" adds art that is a wall
I have no idea lol
yea like the mid 30's is my guess
The only cars I can differentiate from before world war two are Bugatti's, Duesenburgs, Corgs, Aurburns, and a model T
maybe in rare cases Cadillac's when they were actual luxury cars
back in the 20's
It is probably why I love The Great Gatsby movie so much, all the main character cars were Duesenburgs and Auburn's
Snatched those from Twitter.
Is that a Zonda? 
I think it's a Huayra
Front end shape through me off a bit
Zonda r
Say a pagani huyra the other day but I can’t seem to post a photo of it
Was gonna guess the R, or one of the Evo variants.
AbFlug Bodykit Dodge Viper by Khyzyl Saleem
are evo 9s good cars? 
yeah they're nice
but people generally prefer 4-6 and the 10
10 is objectively the best and 4-6 have proper rally heritage
6.5 (tme) being the most collectable
imo the 7-9 are the prettiest
Definitely not the worse thing ever, i really like the rear except the window louvers
FP3, Mazepin drove off bounds on his first real lap 
lol
"Well I think the race should be the race and we shouldn't have another race that is not supposed to be called a race but is a race trying to threaten the race"
-Vettel on sprint races
Nissan gtr premium and other one?
I agree
Back to back race week per circuit now
If they want more race, do that
not 100% car related, but remember when Elon musk wanted to make commercial space flight

What are you guys' predictions for today's race?
verstappen and hamilton crash at the front out of turn 4
I feel like the drama is going to be in the midfield
I want to see a Ricciardo comeback
everyone loses
Norris is going to perform well
It's getting really rough for McLaren with both Ferrari and Alpine being pretty decent
Midfield will be interesting

Mazespin today?
how many Mazespins?
Ahahaha knew it
yes

He'll probably take a shower in the gravel
Will Yuki make it through the race unscathed?
looks really warm in the TV, feels really cold outside
some clouds here in Lisbon so I'm keeping my fingers up
He didn't seem too comfortable in FP3 and Quali
It's quite a tricky track, you have to be really careful on the throttle
Oooo you live in Portugal 
Gotta watch my home race
A lot of yellow flags and safety cars
Betting pool:
🟨 Mazespin
🟨 Mick has another accident but still laps Mazepin
🟦 drama
🟥💥
Vettel gets fucked by pit strategy again
Mercedes fucks up pit stop again
🏁 HAM-BOT-VER
🇼 Russell misses the point again
It's not too late to set sail ☠️
Aye, but where we be sailin, cap'n?
The Seas of Google
Still surprised to see Russell in p11
I hope Max can steal it again.
Yeah, my stream is about a min off
The only thing I fear is that they use Bottas as a meat shield again.
They're on the grid again.
Lights out in a few seconds.
AND
HERE
WE
Go
Oh fuck off, the video is gone. Sound only. lol


blind person simulator
Kimi lost front wing
Lap 2 safety car

Max?
Still 3
And Lewis?
P2
2
Kimi got "taken out"
looks like more mercedes domination
Max, stay close ISTG.
My guy the race just started
Alfa teamkill from the looks of it
Oof kimi hit Gio
Yes, and they usually pull away early.
Alfa Civil War
No more soft tyre domination
We know merc usually struggles with medium at the start
jesus that succ (say: slipstream)
All I can find is some track analytics.
The rest is behind some shady hosts that it won't let me access. 

Bottas complained about hot rear brakes 🔥
Max faster in S1?
Already?
I'm just watching analytics. 
You sure that's not Aston Martin?
Not the first time Bottas has issues with brake temp
Time to create Bottas & brakes memes
ikr
Said something about brake temp

Sainz fucked up restart
Mazepin racing god confirmed
Lmao
I mean, brake temp + tire = hotter tires (?)
Mazespin last
Ye
The heli shots are really beautiful

hambotver?
Max got mugged off
Need some mid-field coverage 💤
Okay I'm deffo way behind.
Bottas is doing great today
Ric doing great too
6 places up already
What lap of how many?
And once again it's top 3 driving off into the distance
And what's Max's situation?
Close or too far away?
not close enough
Just out of reach
You mean Red Bull is supposed to have two cars? 
Nice outside overtake though
embrace it
Max closer now tho

"Tyres are pretty shot" Ham
Ah shit, Lewis P1 again?
Damn you're way behind lmao
HAMBOTVER (actual positions)
That's what she said
Told you.

Ferrari pit 
2.2 Ferrari pit 🐎
Zoomin
Ferrari in 2021: We are not Ferrari
VER and WDC
Red Bull just crumbles on main streaight
Once again Lewis complains about tire wear and continued to run like it isn't a problem
Even with DRS he's struggling to keep up with Bottas
Yeah
You expected something different?
The king of complaints strikes once again
Engineer to Max: "You got the pace"
Not said: Max needing DRS to not get thrown off on the main straight, instead of using DRS to overtake
RB was so strong in the previous races when it comes to top speed
Jesus christ Max really just doesn't have enough power
Max can't get pass Bottas
"Third gear lagging" VER
Obviously.
Did williams pit?
Latifi passed Russell
Naturally ham fastest lap
he only needs like 5 laps
Stroll been driving on softs for 31 laps already tho
Max lost main straight DRS
top 3 decided
I swear, the more he complains about his tyres, the faster he goes
time to watch midfield
u spoiling
stop it
bottas being told to push
threat him with hambotver
Bottas got bullied with fresh hards 
2.5
Very good pit for Mercedes
Prediction:
Vettel finally finishes ahead of Stroll.... but out of points
RIP McLaren 4.8s pit
Is Bottas catching up?
Somewhat
Fuck off.
Red bull is just seriously lacking top speed for some reason
Ferrari USA 2019?
Plan A+10
maybe they forgot 
COME ON SPIN PLS
Just park your rear into a wall already
he almost done another disaster
Mick is fighting Latifi in that deathtrap of his
i wanna say something about mazepin but i know its filtered and matt gonna mute me for 3 houts



can't even keep his tyres properly
¯_(ツ)_/¯
or a team effort to stop him spinning
perez gonna get DSQ'd if he didnt pit right?

yes, DSQ if no pit
maybe he wanna return wth soft
But what can you do to Mazepin anyway
nothing to do when he's already dead last
They'll figure something out lmao
Penalty points on his license?
1 for every violation
that sounds a lot
so 1/12 now
1 for every spin
Only thing that will do anything, but good luck making that amount to anything in the end
They'll probably give him a 5 second penalty and call it a day
they can tell him to hit a fence
And that's Ham p1
People Mazepin pissed off:
Italian Jesus
Inoffensive Canadian
Perez
thanks RB
Sometimes I still wish, Ham would just crash into a wall. No recovery.
And not for his car either. 
Lmao Lewis whining about blue flags when he was overtaking Perez
He's in front of you

Idiot
Oh ffs
5 second penalty for mazepin
Told ya
Mans is already a minute behind his teammate
yeah as i said soft
Fucking hell
Tsunoda, block him.
You can pull off so much shit when you don't care about time penalties
tsu is good
I'm worried about Max.
Don't be
yeah bottas is creeping
Bottas will be P2
He'll just climb back into his p3 manhole
DRS+mercedes= Red bull statue
redbull has no straight speed
maybe cus merc became faster
What if Merc just increased their speed?
Wouldn't even be surprised
Yeah, maybe everyone's slower because they're faster.
Honestly, I hate unrolling that carpet again. But I swear Merc is either faking numbers.
"Your pace is strong" VER
Or they're cheating in another way.
Eyes on Lewis. 
lol Bottas
Gimme that last lap DNF.
Engine kaboom?
Tbc
Looks like it's back somewhat
Perez on softs might have a shot at third now
If bottas keeps having these issues
Remember, BOT always suffers for technical issues
Exhaust sensor error
BOT having issues gives me hopes for HAM having issues.
Seems fixed?
Damn the turn 1 overtakes look great
don't be optimistic, you can't touch #blessed
Feeling blessed🙏 🙏
Big thanks to everyone in the factory
Couldn't have done it without you
Damn Alonso doing great too
finally
Alpine p7+8
can't see Per getting P3 now
Alonso 
Alonso really starting to get comfortable again
Mick got screwed by blue flag 
"Feels like I'm slow on the straights" Bottas
How to Mercedes:
HAM: Complain about everything, and everything will turn out just fine
BOT: Complain about everything, and everything will turn out bad
Pit crew: Do we fuck up today? Find out: 🎰🎲

Also what the hell, Stroll passed Vettel
Mick having a chance to fight Latifi again 
5 laps left, only traffic can save us.

tfw the most exciting part of this GP is the fight for P17
not even a spin
indeed
Bottas box
ffs
Any more traffic for Lewis?
spoiling
I'M SORRY
Mick pulling away from Latifi too
Trying to fight best lap point 
Imagine last lap DNF
ham is just vibing now
Oh shame
HAM: lol no
Shit race.
Yea
Clean race in nutshell
The race is so shit, P2-4 are all trying for best lap
Y'know what would make this race interesting?
A lack of mercedes
I'd rather not have him be saved by anything.
#blessed
One crash. And it's over.
🙏 🙏 🙏
meawhile mazepin still hasnt finished
FIA strikes again
Alright, I'm dropping the formalities.
Sorry Mods.
I want Lewis Hamilton to die in a crash.
Jesus
There, I'm sick of it.
Race highlights:
- Podium "fight" is less fun than watching paint dry
- Alonso

- Mick

- Vettel

Sainz also went backwards
I'm just tired. Guy's been handed every win by some BS luck.
Mick vs Latifi highlight of the race
Or cheating at best.
Alonso did a great comeback
Max time delete is some infuriating shit
Also this race illustrates overtaking doesn't make exciting races
no side by side battles
The really bad thing is that Lewis clearly does not need handouts, and yet he keeps being handed them
Holy shit FIA can suck it
Im also tired that you cant call skill as luck but fair.
I watched MotoGP earlier today and it was 10 times as exciting as this farce of a GP.
Turn 14 doesn't even have enforced track limits
^
rip quartaro
kekw
max is right they check limits in qualifying and overtakes
why deleting his time now
Because fuck Verstappen
Ah yes, casually boosting your engine because Imola showed that the WDC was at stake.

Pretty sure there's no scheme.
Take that tinfoil off, its been known that merc is still fastest
No matter what insta says about the "HP figures"
Well, maybe that gives me hope for what I said if you scroll up.
Nice fucking hypocrisy.
"i dont want that happen again"
- imola
Literally 1 race later
Here we go
👏
Wow


Because fuck you
u should rename yourself to turn 14
who won?
The fraud.
