• There are others on here with similarly hopeless/amusing car stories but I was specifically listing the people offering advice to V-L.

    Minky does need a mention just because his story is one of the bigger jokes out of all of us.

    RRC with race tuned, blueprinted, Rover V8 (this could end here and be funny enough...)
    Badly tuned on multiple occasions and sips fuel at a mere 8mpg.
    Sounds thunderous, intakes are large enough to suck in children and the odd vertically challenged adult.
    The exhaust has broken more times than I have broken gearboxes.
    Spends more time not firing on all eight cyclinders.
    Got near enough written off by his own mother driving into it.
    Every time he tries to sort out the bodywork and interior, something goes wrong mechanically.
