Conan Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Have to say, now that they're doing retro moose test it is even more interesting than modern car test. The result certainly is a surprise as well. Remspoor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This car doesn't have first or reverse but who cares, it'll do for now and driver is enjoying the car. Great to see it on the road, I wonder what the film is that's shown in it with the DB4 being chased by the Wolseley ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LightBulbFun Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2z5A-COlDPk I enjoyed this video as both someone into cars and things that light up but one thing that I noticed was that the thermal flasher he used seemed to be a normally open type, in that when power is applied the lamp stays off until the flasher has warmed up and it starts flashing but all the thermal flashers/systems I have seen here in the UK have been of the normally closed type, ie when power is applied the lamp stays on until the flasher warms up and it starts flashing which seems a much safer way of doing things, because there is an immediate signal to other road users even if its not yet started to flash so I found it strange that his thermal flashers where of the normally open type and that for a youtuber that is normally very detailed never mentioned the normally closed type so I wonder and perhaps @PhilA may know but are thermal flashers different in the US? are they normally open while British ones are normally closed or did he just not notice the different types and he happened to have bought a normally open type?

PhilA Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Yup, normally open here and the current through the bimetallic strip has little impact on the flash rate unless it's heavily overloaded. There's a Litz wire, insulated, wrapped around the key part of the bimetallic strip that causes it to flex which heats up rapidly and makes the unit cycle. Quite different from the single kinky sheet Lucas style ones, the American ones pop like a metal hair clip. VW Beetle flashers are of the normally open type, with the heater going through the telltale bulb. Put the signal on, the light illuminates, the contacts close which shorts the light and the exterior bulbs light. That type are sold as towing flashers because adding extra bulbs for the trailer doesn't cause the flash rate to go stupid.

Marina door handles Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Yesterday I came across a run of top gear episodes from1983, this one is a personal favourite featuring hill climbing, circuit racing with jags and some really eighties music This episode is a bit more Autoshite though, features a look around of the FSO factory in Poland and a group test of Warsaw pact motors...

ProgRocker Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 US spec Ford Fiesta/Festiva/Mazda 121/Kia Pride action. Also features the Ford Aspire which looks a bit odd. Nice American YT channel worth checking out. This guy has another channel on Plymouth Prowlers if you like that sort of thing but on this one he puts out a video every Saturday. A fortnight ago he uploaded a video on the Daewoo Nexia/Ceilo/ Astra / Kadett/ Pontiac LeMans. Remspoor and St.Jude 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St.Jude Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Not car related, but I think it's cool as fuck. Song's alright, Industrial Light & Magic's work is quite intriguing. Less of Anna-Frid and more Agnetha though would've been nice. vonmon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rab Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 The YouTube algorithim for car related videos..title now must be Barn Find Will It Start..please dont feel creative and try any other title...cos u get nowhere. Actually..my now fave channel is the Estonian guy..who does it without voice-over. Plus the standard of car related stuff is so abysmal...once u gain popularity..they slide off to mainstream supercar nonsense..and they have to punt twenty items and sponsers before a wrench is even pulled...

Leo often looks back at his programme. It was one of the first I watched when I started living in NL, (along with Man Bijt Hond). I also liked the section where one police offer would explain more about certain regulations on the road. Never could understand why Justitie told the police to stop cooperating. They too much wanted is control of what is being shown. They have that in Wegmisbruikers, which is not very good. The commentor always berates drivers where as Leo has a far gentler way of pointing out errors. I also liked the section where one police offer with Leo would go into deeper explanation of certain regulations which had been shown in the programme.

Blik op de Weg was an honest program, I think that is what made people appreciate the show for well over two decades. It would show nuances, it would show the police officers as human beings who sometimes make mistakes as well, it allowed the viewer to form their own opinions. Justitie ordering the police to stop cooperating was something belonger to a broader change of direction in which Justitie demanded more control over how the police was portraited on tv. If, for example, a corrupt officer was shown in a detective tv series, they would refuse the use of police cars and uniforms. As one would expect, this didn't work as intended (Blik op de Weg is now a succesful channel on Youtube and Wegmisbruikers no longer exists) and I believe Justitie has relaxed this policy somewhat. Oh, and I would not advice newcomers to start with watching Man Bijt Hond because it may give the impression that we're a bunch of weirdos😄 The spiritual predecessor of Man Bijt Hond was Showroom in the 1980s, which showed eccentrics such as a man refusing to believe mankind went to the moon, an elderly woman living in a house without running water or electricity, and this man loving Bugattis so much that they made him quite emotional: Remspoor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The acceptance of those who may not fit in normal life. I do not know anywhere else where a TV programme would be able to knock at someone front door and then invited in to come in and talk about what that person did during the day, or their hobbies. There is a lot of non-conformity around just that in some societies that is hidden a bit better. These are from the BBC TV programme Nationwide. Mostly news with some report on the odd things of life. But no knocking on front doors. nationwide.mp4 catsinthewelder and D.E 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
