It definitely comes with age. I was walking the dog with my 15 year old son and saw a bag of rubbish thrown out of a parked car window. I wasn't having that in our local park! I told my lad to hang fire as I calmly walked up to the car (just happened to be an Audi A3) picked up the rubbish and tapped on their window. A youth who was practically lying down glared at me. I told him he'd dropped his rubbish and would he mind having it back to put in a bin. His mate was just about to have a go when he spotted my rather large German shepherd! The driver took the bag back from me and actually put it in the bin which was 3 parked cars away. Win for the old timer ( who's not quite 50 yet). Keep up the great content and on point rants!
Best rant ever! Lol ...best T Shirt idea "Lidle Pistons and Aldi rods" 😅
LIDL no E
My favourite rant yet 😂😂😂
I was a freelance Motorsport photographer for years covering BSB and WSB.. then gradually every meeting you would see the grid and pits become overly full of new young faces with mobile phones and point and shoot cameras... doing the work for nothing... after you had down work for the end user for a while and they just didn't see the quality and experience etc.. especially as everything started to go straight to online and not print anymore..so I'm always interested in Davla"s insight.. keep up the great videos love the banter Ricky just saying what everyone else is thinking..👍
Your experience and special tools are worth the cost in your quotes and you tuning it should be a given
The reason for the torque + angle etc is because of consistency. Using a torque wrench can still result in something like +/- 25%. For comparison an experienced operator just doing it by feel is about +/- 35%!
Using a smaller torque value to snug things up then an angle gives about +/- 15%, much tighter control over clamping force.
I did a lap around a small carpark last week and there was only one space left but it was unusable as a plank in an electric BMW had parked a foot over the white line. Fortunately as I stopped to size up the impossible gap the driver came walking over with an arm full of food. I then asked him if he was any good at colouring in as a child because he was sh*t at keeping his car between the lines and maybe needed a few more lessons in parking. My wife was mortified but I felt he needed the shaming.
The car update and tech stuff is OK but the workshop banter and rants are great.
They've got good a balance .. I don't mind the odd fully detailed engine builds and Ricky has a great way of talking, he knows the components so well he can break it down in basic terms
But you have to appreciate the banter in the workshop 😂👌
Stood in a long queue at customer service in B&Q, at the front was a man in his 60s with cowed wife in tow. He was loud and aggressive to the assistant, and was claiming the paint he had bought was a quid cheaper at a store down the road so wanted a price match, the assistant replied they'd have to check the price by phoning up said store. 60's fella replied that he was offended that the store didn't trust his word and wanted to make a complaint about their service and attitude towards him, after a long rant. I reached tilt, walked up to the counter and slammed a pound coin on the desk in front of him, saying "here's your quid now feck (or words to that affect) off" to cheers from the rest of the queue.
I was waiting to place an order for a Chinese takeaway once, and some nakker was on the phone going on and on and on and on and on.....I was starving it was Friday evening, just done a week's work..... So I took the phone off the Chinese woman, said: "hello, I'm a customer, what's the problem?" And I can't remember what he said but it ended up with me saying: "right, do you want it or not? No? Right..." He said something offensive to me, I said "who are you talking to you daft cunt, I'll knock you out" and hung up. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I was hangry, man. Friday. Wanted to go home.
😂😂😂😂😂
Haha I can't believe I did that
Angle torqued fasteners have all the advantages ( issues ? ) you mention, but to my mind, the biggest advantage is you get more accurate clamp load, because it negates fastener friction.
I'm sure you know the difference between oiled, ARP lubed, dry, rusty etc.
Angle torque bypasses all of that. You basically settle the faster to a pre condition. That's the initial torque setting. This is usually before any material distortion occurs, and fastener fiction is still low. You then turn it the Angle, which clamps the piece down equally irrespective of the friction aspect. If that makes any sense😅
Yes agree all above. Basically think of a bolt as a spring! It clamps 2 surfaces together. Stretch it too far and it won't return to original length. You just reached yield point. Clamp pressure reduces. So tightening with torque is just measuring the friction of turning? So many variables. So measuring the stretch of a big end bolt is the best way. If you know the pitch of the bolt say 1mm pitch, 1 turn will stretch the bolt 1mm! That's where the angle is relevant to stretch. Max bolt clamp is upto the yield point! Longer the bolt the better! Imagine a very short spring stretching. The stretch to yield is very short. A long spring has a longer tolerance! Remember a bolt is a spring!!! Matt
"Trying to convince Kate, she's having none of it" absolutely got me haha!
This episode had me in stitches! Absolutely loved it! My wife had to talk me out of a fight at the airport last year as a Dutch guy forced his way past my wife, knocking her over with his bag and then he told me my wife was over reacting and he was in a rush to check in. Still boils my blood, but at least no-one was arrested, my son didn't witness any really bad behaviour, and we made it back to the UK safely
Please print that t-shirt "don't be a dickhead it makes life easy" that's utterly brilliant
M8 some great advice with strengthening core pushups etc
Should put all your rants in one vid... Its bloody gold mate😂😂👍👍👌👌
Bolts are angle tightened for exactly the reason you state ( rusty bolts ect) it takes out the equation of debris friction and that’s out of the equation when taken through a predetermined arc
We own a RAV4 from 2020, and it drives like a sports car and with 225 hp it is no rubish. And with all wheel drive it goes every where . We live very far from normal roads with dirt roads and mountains in Spain and never let us down. The only thing i miss is a normal gearbox . Not every hybrid is bad. What you where driving is a toy car for kids.
Have a prius but only to balance out driving the Rx8
Rick, another top video although I have no idea what you are talking about half the time 😂 please please more bike stuff
I love it when people sit on quotes for months then finally decide to go ahead and can’t understand why the quote can’t be honoured any more. I have a mate that went out to quote some building work for a customer, the customer wanted to know absolutely everything from not only what materials were being used but where they were coming from then they wanted a step by step detail of everything being done and how it was being done, this was all to be put on the quote. My mate told them he didn’t spend years going to school and thousands of dollars on licenses, insurances, told etc etc to give free teaching lessons to people that want to do something themselves! The customer didn’t see the issue
Torque to yield! Angle! Basically think of a bolt as a spring! It clamps 2 surfaces together. Stretch it too far and it won't return to original length. or it brakes or waists! You just reached yield point. Clamp pressure reduces. So tightening with torque is just measuring the friction of turning? So many variables. So measuring the stretch of a big end bolt is the best way. If you know the pitch of the bolt say 1mm pitch, 1 turn will stretch the bolt 1mm! That's where the angle is relevant to stretch. Max bolt clamp is upto the yield point! Longer the bolt the better! Imagine a very short spring stretching. The stretch to yield is very short. A long spring has a longer tolerance! Remember a bolt is a spring!!! Matt
I think the problem as was with my example it’s the risk of retaliation or ending up being “ in the wrong” for trying to do the right think
Love the brolly rage - I've had trolley rage where someone kept banging into me at the supermarket, turned around to have a word and it was my best mate seeing how long it would take me to loose my head :-
Best rant and t shirt idea yet!
Torque is torque. An angle rating translates to a torque value because the bolt rotates and pulls at the rate of the thread inclination. What really matters is how hard the bolt is pulling against the outside thread which is hard to measure directly. So torque values are relatively repeatable but as soon as the bolt loads up, angle measurements are infinitely more precise.
To be a bit more precise, it's the clamping force that matters. Getting there can be achieved by applying a measured torque to the bolt or spinning it a given angle once it is loaded. The angle while much more precise and repeatable, is relative to the starting clamping force.
03:02 Ayyy our GT Spyder made the cut! 🎉
We live near a school & a nursery always getting parents blocking our access, told one woman she should not park there, told me she pays road tax and can park where she wants.
I told her to move it or i would, she double parked it further up. A DPD delivery van came up the hill and took her wing mirror off. KARMA.
charge for a quote and knock the price off the build if they go ahead with the work
Ricky, you should offer a detailed engine build quotation as a service with a fixed price which can be deducted from the work if it goes ahead. We pay for car inspections, why not engine builds? Any paywall will filter out a lot of chancers and serious people won't mind if they really need the work done.
THAT was fucking hilarious.
And good on ya for sticking up..
Love the rant and 😂😂😂😂. So true and just showed my wife the rant and she said yes, that would be you. Stand up and take no shit.
I do love the Foss way on a sunday , the sound of an RSV4 and an Akra at full chat
The best rant in ages Rick keep it up.
Standing up for what is right:
A friend's 17yo daughter was on a train trying to find her seat. The young man in front of her tried to move a old man from what he thought was his seat (he actually had the sdme seat in another carriage). The old man immediately realised the ticket was for another carriage and told the lad to "F**k off and find another seat!" Having witnessed this, my friends daughter casualty walked up to the the old man, held out her ticket which she KNEW was for the seat he was in and said: "Hi, can you fuck off to another seat please?" He did! 💪🤣🤣
You angle torque because they can’t trust everyone to have the correctly set torque wrench or more to the point has it be calibrated accurately enough.
great episode! love the craic ! And yes you were right!
Brilliant video, side note I saw the Foo Fighters in Glasgow last night got home at 2am as well 🤣
Keep up the good work 👍
Isn’t it easier to change the solenoid valves on the VAG aircon comps?
I hate people especially these days they all think there entitled ‘ it does my head in . Great channel keep up the good work
When I was little my dad had a ‘brolly moment’ at a event a ‘lady’ did similar and the tipping point was the rain off her brolly was being directed down onto me and my fathers neck… there was quickly one less brolly in the world shortly later… and I have had a ‘healthy loathing’ of brollies since 🤬
We have issues quoting for work too, 28:04 28:04 28:04 they have you quote, to then go with a cheaper quote (often not like for like on parts quality and new seals/gaskets etc). We then see them come back when the other garage haven't done it correctly or when theres an issue with another part that we quoted to do within that repair that the other garage haven't. They then have to pay our labour to replace or correct said part, causing their total costs to be higher than if we just did the job in the first place. It says it all when they wont go back to have it rectified, as they are so disappointed with the work they've just paid for.
It's more frustrating when regular customers do it in an attempt to save costs, knowing that they are sacrificing the quality of the repair after we have given them such good service over the years. I guess hairdressers, plumbers etc have similar issues?
Yes Rick, it IS parenting! 👊
racing a superbike is like holding on to mike tysons wristswhile he trys to wrestle free, for 20-30mins, knowing if you let go its gonna hurt! thats how Ive always described it 😂
We are kindred spirits 😂. Love it keep up the good work
Wrong GR Yaris used, that’s the newer gen 2!
Available via a ballot 😜
With these 'new' bolt types - does ambient temperature matter? If you did a cylinder head bolt to torque+angle in winter in an unheated shed, would it be ok? I'm guessing everthing would be cold too, so it would all expandereano the same into the warmer months? Would say 2degC to 40degC ambient make any significant difference? My cheap-arsed torque wrech had a temperature next to its 'quality control' certificate - curious if ambient temperature makes a significant difference to bolts/components? I've never thought about it before 😆
I remember learning to drive (Mum was a driving instructor) - stop start traffic in a one-way bit we are car 10-15 or so in the line - pleb in an Astra kept lunging forwards and lurch braking behind us, that close I could just about see the scuttle of his car in the rear view mirror. I get out of the car, get into his face and clearly state "My Mums married and I ain't gay - why the F are you trying to get up our arse F-wit?" After getting my point across, I get back into the car - Mum goes ballistic "My company name is on top of the car!" I'm 43 now, still laugh at that moment.
Superb content as always 👍
Would love to have your golf gti…
Who takes a brolly to a rock concert? Those In the back row!!!
Dave Grohl endorses this rant.
Back when covid was a thing, at the very start, when people were queuing to get food, my local Sainsburys (Bridgemead in Swindon for us locals) has an Argos in it and you have to go into the store to access it. As everyone was desperate to buy any old shit to relieve the tedium of house arrest, unsurprisingly, Argos was one of the 'essential' shops that we could use, hence the queues were quite literally round the carpark and past Poundland. The store has put a queue in place to service Argos, but if you wanted food from the store, you could go in when it wasn't that busy. After an hour of queueing I got to the front, and I was next to go in. The security guard manning the queue (lets be honest, we're British, if there is ANYTHING we are good at is queuing, and his very presence was an insult) approached 2 blokes lingering outside and looking at the queue. They asked what the queu was for and when the guard informed them itr was for Argos, but if they just wanted food they could go in.
You can guess what happened. They just went in. I followed in shortly after and unsurprisingly, there was Laurel and Hardy (but not funny) at the Argos counter.
What happened next was uncomfortable. For everybody. Including the people at the bottom 4 tills. So I apologise. But the Argos queue outside got 2 people longer.
The world is split into 3 types. 1: People that push in. 2: People that call it out. 3:Pepole that don't.
1 only exists because 3 exists. Boils my piss.
People's social etiquette is in the bin. You're 100% right.
Great rant Ricky, since I hit 50 my tolerance levels with people being twats has vanished.
I was out with my wife & family for a lovely Sunday afternoon walk in a local park, beautiful day & a group of teenagers had decided to block the path with there bikes, while they sat on a bench chatting.
I asked them to move there bikes & was told to walk round them !
After the first bike flew into the tree's, they realised I was serious & quickly moved the rest.
At this point my wife rolled here eyes & I got the look of "did you have too" i so enjoyed my pint after our walk & my granddaughter gave me a high five, super hero grandad status achieved.
Keep up the great videos.
cried as a kid watching the child catcher on chitty chitty bang bang. lol
Respect even more now you went to see the foos at Manchester.
Kate’s family are from Manchester
At the end of the day Ricky, when it comes to it, you pay for what you get...... it's about the service as much as the work......
Rik you seen topraks putting twin turbos on his r8. Needs you boys on the case
Question for you Ricky, what is a good step up from a Gen2 R8, I've had mine for 2 and a half years and got the end of finance coming up but no idea what to look at or get. Test drove a Porsche at the weekend and I feel spoilt with the V10 NA
I struggle with garages taking the pee with overcharging
I was recovering from surgery on my ankle after a motorcycle accident. My mates thought it would be nice to take me to an Acdc tribute concert which was f**king awesome I might add… anyway I was on crutches and most people are giving me a bit of a wide birth and give me enough room to stand one legged with one crotch holding a beer and the other one supporting me. This entitled prick decided that the floor space that I was being given by everybody else was now his he decided to keep encroaching on my space so I was pushing my crutch further and closer to him at one point he knocked crutch around said sorry and then continued to do it, so the next time he did it I decided to put the crutch in such a position between his legs the next time he stepped back He fell flat on his arse when he looked at me as if it was my problem I said mate everybody else has given me the room. What gives you the entitlement to encroach on my space and ruin my night, he said there was no need for that tho… he’d been warned 1-2 times before but continued… so I thought that he deserved it 👍🏻
That story reminds me of when I was 21 and it was one of my mates 21st and we were all going out to the arches in Glasgow I had 2 broken arms after I fell off a roof so went out with both arms plastered I decided it would be a good idea to get up on the table to start dancing away then the next thing everyone else starts to get up around then we all obviously told to come down
When your other half p1$$ed you off. Had a bbq recently, spent a fortune on food and some really lovely bread. I cooked, like you do as a man the bbq food to perfection. The other half's tasks were to boil new potatoes and cook the bread in the oven. Walked in after my stuff was done to smoke coming out of the oven with the bread in. Burnt to a crisp I suggested we put some more in and try again as there is a timer in the oven so F'in use it, cut to ten minutes later...smoke filling the house and yes she didn't put the timer on and had it on full power, on phone on insta (Which in it's self pi$$es me off) so went out of the house as I was so annoyed.....Apparently my fault!. sleep in other bedroom time!
Oh the joys of being single, man I don’t miss the grief.
Love the premature rant!
Great rant
From the position of someone wanting something doing you generally pay for what you get and from the position of the person doing the work you need to know your worth
You talk a lot of sense mate, I’d vote for you 😂 great vids & content. 👍🏻
Well done
There's an idea REP brolleys added to the merch list
🤔😂
Afternoon when is the Skoda video coming??
Be careful cutting out the swearing! Thought I was on mute for half of it😂
Brolly rage 🤣🤣🤣
please do more videos on a friday was a great laugh
It is a business.No one wants to lose.
You speak the truth bro 🙏🏻
Just fantastic rant.....😂
😂
I'm Scottish so never keep my gob shut. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lane keep only fights you if you change lanes without indicating.
Is that what you did
I am constantly shouting at Uber eats and just eat drivers because when they deliver on my street they just park in the middle of the road which is a single lane going in to the cul-de-sac and they always turn up when I'm coming in or going out
Tell your neighbours to stop ordering from uber eats then!
Awww but they bring joy to your house in all weathers. Give them some understanding 😊
@@CraigMansfield if they parked up properly there wouldn't be an issue

Those airfilters on the blue R8 Turbo are begging for a hydrolock party.
Toyota hybrids are one of the best hybrids on the market c-hr is a 1.8 e-cvt, it’s not a conventional cvt no push belt or torque converter - hybrids are not for every one - like any modern car it has way too many drivers aids
Now I know who upset my misses!!!!
Brolly rage is why you got home in 2 minutes
You still considering selling the golf or have plans changed? Thinking about buying a lovely shitbox
Think it’s as you get older, you become less tolerant to bullshit! Updates on the huracan?
Same as you, gig patrons piss me right off. Young entitled students going to gigs to shout a conversation to each other for the whole event, or stand on their phones not interested until the 1 song they know comes on.
Me.and Mrs, both short, at a gig at Manchester academy, 2 tall girls wander in after the 1st song of the support act, and stand directly in front of us, in the 8" gap we had left (I know it's was 8", ask me how). They spent the half hour shouting to each other, uninterested in the music.
They wandered off at the interval, and as the main act came on, they wandered back and pushed into the same spot, where there was now, no room at all. I told her politely, to fork orf, and she looked disgusted an old bloke dared talk to her like that. "It's a gig, and I'm watching here", to and my response of " you're forking not, and you don't have reserved standing at gigs, so off you fork". She and her tramp friend did move away, with a flurry of abuse towards us.
I genuinely feel it's the majority of younger people that have never had discipline or explained about "other people" to quote ferris bueller. I am.older than you, and have been unable to hold my tongue for many years, online and in person, which usually gets the entitled, dumb and ignorant people's back up, which is really satisfying
I still can’t watch Chitty Chitty Bang Bang to this day and I’m 47 lol

Question for Ricky. Would you consider working in Formula 1 .
16:44 who's media manager? Audio cut out.

I think you get less tolerant as you get older. I definitely have. Peoples entitlement is ridiculous. I agree with a comment made that the "Im a celeb" type people should bring a utility bill because i have no idea who they are. They achieve and contribute nothing but are a legend in their own minds. Ok rant over.......
Genuine shit 😂😂
Ricky, as you know I was at Le Mans for the race at the weekend and my group got to the edge of the track at Indianapolis Corner at 6.45am to set our seats out. We sat there until race start at 16:00 and 10 minutes into the race a French group of three 20 somethings and two 50+ dads push through the four lines of chairs behind us and tried to stand in front of me. I politely asked one of the 20 year olds to move and he pretended he didn't understand, so a nice French man sitting near me stood up and explained to him that he needed to move. The village idiot told him where to go and I had a red mist moment. I 'tapped' him on the shoulder repeatedly until he had to turn around and when he said he didn't understand I gestured that if I punched him in the head perhaps that would help. At this point we are nose to nose and his Dad dragged him away to sit elsewhere before I carried out my 'promise'. Language barrier my arse.
