Less than a week until my T build locks. Nearly 80 days until it arrives at the dealership.

I've never understood the rationale for states that don't allow you to pump your own gas. What is the point? Why not give people the option? Some kind kind of labor/political payback?

Very nice 63 split window coupe in the background!!

Does New Jersey still require that an attendant put the gas in your tank? Whenever I was traveling through New Jersey and needed gas, I would always give the attendant $10 and tell him, “I’ll do it.” No way in hell I’m letting some kid fill up my tank.

I agree Henry Catchpole is good and Harry Metclafe has his own style, shame its always the same route through Burford, and of course is the founder of EVO
Andrew Frankel is a good journalist, but not seen any of his videos.
Meaden I read but not seen any video in truth not heard of Choco.
On Monkey Harris I guess you are referring to his friendship with Dick Lovetts son.
As they say is this world everyone to his own. Would be so boring otherwise.
Clarkson's turn of phrase is special whatever he writes about and Capt Slows act is good also.
Ma’wa’son is just a YouTuber who struck gold with those drag setups.
Sutcliffe is now more of a freelancer and does different reviews for a bunch of magazines. I think you can consider him monkey’s mentor, at least at the beginning. There is a nice video of him with a i30N at Nurburgring.
Choco is Bovington. Drove the N24h this year, in a M4 GT3.
Metcalfe also used to travel more, especially to his boat down in the south of France or to different locations in Italy, etc. But he knows his stuff or does research before.
Frankel is “metcalfe light”, also nice. I remember that he managed to blow up a pretty expensive engine and got sued for it😬😅
I suspected is someone from Lovett, by how often he was there, but it’s always funny to try to guess which car will be bought or sold, depending on the reviews. I also noticed that his relation with Porsche has cooled down somewhat, he was not there when the RS was launched, etc. We cool, of course everyone has and can have different opinion about what he likes or not.😇😅
In a nutshell😜…and in the world!😂

Oregon was the only other state aside from NJ until a couple months back. Now NJ is the only one that mandates an attendant

If the guy is busy I always take the nozzle out and they always appreciate the help. I'm also way more careful about drippage

I get gas on my Seneca Nation of Indians' reservation and while they provide full service for the same cost as self-serve, I always choose the latter @ .80-.90 cents/gallon cheaper.

1.20 Euro/Liter for 93 AKI/98 RON, that’s almost half of what we have to bleed for over here in Europe.
13.995 gallons…that would have triggered my OCD big time 😂😂

I pump my own at the local Sunoco. They know me and know I don't want them touching my car.

I think when you refer to Frankel blowing up an engine and been sued you might be confusing it with Mark Hales who over revved David Piper's 917 at Cadwell Park
whilst free lancing an article for Auto Italia magazine on a 512 / 917 comparison.
Daivd Piper won in the high court. £50,000
