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
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 😂👌
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.
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
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
Should put all your rants in one vid... Its bloody gold mate😂😂👍👍👌👌
M8 some great advice with strengthening core pushups etc
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
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.
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
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
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
Best rant and t shirt idea yet!
I hate people especially these days they all think there entitled ‘ it does my head in . Great channel keep up the good work
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
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 😂
great episode! love the craic ! And yes you were right!
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.
We are kindred spirits 😂. Love it keep up the good work
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?
Wrong GR Yaris used, that’s the newer gen 2!
Available via a ballot 😜
You talk a lot of sense mate, I’d vote for you 😂 great vids & content. 👍🏻
cried as a kid watching the child catcher on chitty chitty bang bang. lol
Love the premature rant!
Fuck the Kiddy Catcher. Scared the crap out of me, that did.
Afternoon when is the Skoda video coming??
Think it’s as you get older, you become less tolerant to bullshit! Updates on the huracan?
please do more videos on a friday was a great laugh
I struggle with garages taking the pee with overcharging
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.
Great rant
Be careful cutting out the swearing! Thought I was on mute for half of it😂
I'm Scottish so never keep my gob shut. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Well done
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
Just fantastic rant.....😂
😂
You speak the truth bro 🙏🏻
Brolly rage 🤣🤣🤣
Lane keep only fights you if you change lanes without indicating.
Is that what you did
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.......
Now I know who upset my misses!!!!
As Ray Shoesmith would say “ You know why the world is full of assholes, because people let them get away with it “
I still can’t watch Chitty Chitty Bang Bang to this day and I’m 47 lol
I hate that fkr. Scared the life of it me. And my dad thought it was funny to impersonate him to me, until my mam stopped him 😂

Hi I agree to the c-hr is allfull to drive especially on a bunpy road and sounds the same as it drives yust sh__. Like your rant day keep it up 😂
We messed up not checking the ground clearance!!! Excuse 4am……….
Come here Kiddies got something for youuuuuuuuuuuuuu 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 yep it’s Funny
I have to call someone out at my job every few rotations. If it's not a dickhead in scheduling (the usual culprits), it's a dickhead in travel who booked a shitty hotel for us or a hotel that's not by anything useful, or it's a dickhead in planning who went against our operating procedures and filed us something ridiculous that we can't do. My job would be easy if I didn't have so many idiots who think they dictate to me how things are supposed to go, but then when I point to the documents that show them otherwise, I'M the dickhead, not them who's screwed it up. I must write 2 or 3 reports per 15 day rotation on someone screwing something up and, those are just the ones worth reporting, not the minor day to day crap we just ignore because it's easier to just get on with the tasking rather than call, wait, call again, wait, have them screw it up again, call, wait....pick your battles.
16:44 who's media manager? Audio cut out.
Me thinks that was deliberate. A lot of f**k's were dubbed out this time as well lol. There was quite a bit uncensored language in the last video
@@samrodian919 yeah I realised when Ricky went into full on f mode 🤣
Question for Ricky. Would you consider working in Formula 1 .
Question for you ... Is there a job which you hate when someone brings in a car . Clutch etc
I remember watching dean from saving salvage when he was fixing a v10 an was a bitch of a job.
The older I get, the less my tolerance for people is! “Don’t be a dickhead” should be the next t-shirt! 👍
I live in Greece 🇬🇷 retired. Bathroom remodel ok,2 recommended Bathroom guys turn up, father/ son. Explained how we wanted things done. They argued cannot be done. I went off the deep end big time. They walked out. Blocked phone calls and WhatsApp. Could not contact them.
British guy here came ,recommended walked in and said straight away. Well you don't need that mate . That can go .
Brilliant straight on the same page as we were on.
Long and short of it was the Greek guys were out 4,000 euros total dicks.
You cannot win an argument with a Greek they know best always 🤪.
She's gonna kill yer after seeing this.. But your bang on right... Women🤣🤣🤣
Nothing wrong with women thank you very much!!
I’m normally around when he films these videos but I also reply to a lot of the comments 🤪.
Thanks for watching. Kate 😊
Genuine shit 😂😂
Re quote. I'm a different trade but I will only ever give an estimate unless they're going to commit then I will attend, do a quote and break it down. When I get a call saying how much for X I just say somewhere in the region of Y. when you get the inevitable that's expensive such and such will do it for Z my answer is well go to them then and when they do a sh*t job you'll end up phoning someone like me to put it right and it will end up costing you more than it would if you'd paid decent price in the first place.
P.s can I have a job please
Being as you're so anti drag racing how about having a go on a super street bike I run a 7 second pass with no weedy bars and about 800 horsepower
What day is it 😂
I tell people everyday what a think of them 🙄
Can you turbo my r32 golf ? 😅
I'll write this again Ricky ! Yes you do make problems for yourself, but standing up and saying things when people are dickheads is the right thing to do.mi do it all the time, I'm 70 and can't ever stand people doing that and I don't suffer fools gladly. As for umbrella person, it is lucky that the pole didn't end up where the sun is never seen! ( YT just told me off for this comment so I've reworded it now. The meaning is still the same )😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Are R8’s considered unreliable??
If you watch his buyers guides, he says not.
@@andrewbaron8713 just feels like there’s a lot of R8’s there ? Just my perception.

Don’t be baffled about people being more selfish. It’s all because of Social Media promoting narcissism and self entitlement. The ‘oh look at me’ new world. 👎

These highly tuned r8’s are nothing but a complete time 💣 & a total waste of time & money . If you want a proper fast car buy a proper fast car that has been properly tested & built from the factory .
Just r8's? 🤔
@@CbrRob in this example yes .
@davida7713 I'm sure if they have been built and mapped correctly they should be perfectly fine and plenty of standard cars are a ticking time bomb.
@@CbrRob “built & mapped right” yet they still blow up 🥱🥱🥱 a factory built vehicle which actually spent millions on engineering, development work & testing is a million times better than ANY tuning company product … doesn’t take a rocket scientist to understand that .. want a fast car then buy one from the factory 🥱🥱🥱
What’s a proper fast car?
Can we have more fault finding content please and hands on mechanics🔧🔩⚙️
The attraction of your channel is the expertise you and your employees have that I can learn from to help me work on my own car.
Not interested in the general running of your company to be honest 🥱

My favourite rant yet 😂😂😂
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
Yup Ricky Straight to Hell champ Kate and the other vids to funny my man best Fixin shit Channel ever LOL engine rebuilds to funny man btr off betting on how long ut takes bfr the hand gernade goes Kaboomski lol Aftr the pin was pulled gently, Brawley is a umbrella? sorry in the states not sure if so how the fuck did they let her in with a umbrella na i cant b umbrella fuck i dont kknow champ Daily man ive got kids lol
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..👍
charge for a quote and knock the price off the build if they go ahead with the work
Please print that t-shirt "don't be a dickhead it makes life easy" that's utterly brilliant
Your experience and special tools are worth the cost in your quotes and you tuning it should be a given
Rick, another top video although I have no idea what you are talking about half the time 😂 please please more bike stuff
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 😊

Super rant and too many entitled brats in the world.
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
F bombs deleted this video ?..... IOM International Rally 1989 got to Hairpin an hour before 1st car ..perfect place to watch then 2 minutes before due car ...photographer turns up right in front of us put umbrella up to protect his camera from drizzle .....fuck did he get it from me ...gentle hints to put brolly down and move over to allow the spectators who'd queued in the rain to view the action... he didnt move ..Doug was his name, just remembered ... its my living mate he said ....not buying that, i resorted to throwing clumps of Manx turf at his umbrella and his ample proportions... the crowd joined in eventually he moved ..Grand Dickhead of the 1st Order .... Doug never forget him arse 'ole
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 👍
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! 💪🤣🤣
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......
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.
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.
