Excellent commentary, and some top chod content too. 740/10, WUD REKOMMEND. These are great I hope he gets the audience it deserves .

MJK 24 Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 1 hour ago, JimH said: Meanwhile at the other end of the market here is a rather splendid sounding mule. The sounds at 2:15 remind me of my Scirocco with its home converter 1.6TD 79bhp German powerhouse of a motor. The Cosworth V12 starting to wail is very reminiscent of the old diesel plodder as it determinedly and single mindedly heads towards its 4,600 max rpm. The Bosch VE pump doing its thing with just a light sweating from the throttle spindle. The turbo glowing cherry red providing boost unknown whilst also gently rustproofing the bulkhead and innards of the inter cooler. The light haze of smoke coming out the back of the 1.75” bosal mild steel musical instrument of an exhaust making me feel like hot shit. Everything I’ve ever dreamt of and more basically.

At the end I was worried they weren't going to actually show it working but it was brilliant. I'd have been equally happy if it had just fallen apart and they'd thrown it against the wall though. In fact I'd have probably related to that better. Dick Longbridge 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As soon as the notes at the bottom of the screen started appearing and there had been no testing of the finished article, I felt cheated. However, the testing which followed certainly didn't disappoint. HillmanImp 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheffcortinacentre Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Years ago we had people that had skills to do this sort of thing ,then people with power said nah more profitable to get rid & just buy a new one,then when the profits still weren't enough the shipped the manufacturing abroad, then when that was no longer deemed to give enough profit, we then kids ended up with China! But don't worry it's all the consumers fault. Remspoor and steveo3002 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jon.k Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 I loved re-watching that Police, Camera, Action. I watched it on repeat when I was a child and I "amazed" my wife with my ability to remember most of Alistair Stewart's quips 25 years later. Also, is it just me but is that black 911 really not doing 145 mph? LightBulbFun 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austat Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 I recently found that on the 1959 Octavia, the windscreen and the rear window are identical pieces, so hypothetically you could interchange them. Remspoor and face 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
