Nice video, obvious enthusiasm. I'm really liking what he's putting out.

Yeah, I watched yesterday. Really enjoying Johnny's vids at the moment, and the idea behind his channel is spot on. Loved his monkey bike vid as well

Speaking of Jonny being enthusiastic about tat, here's Jonny and Rich Porter being tremendously enthusiastic about what can best be described as a field of the sort of tat our parents bought.

It's utterly wonderful.

"Aw hell rich, it's a two door Allegro"
"...wait wait wait, we haven't even gazed at the majesty of this....brown Austin Princess"

This is just wonderful. Two blokes walking around a muddy field filled with 70s/80s crap, musing on what they find.

And it's all up for auction soon.

Tyrrell's classic workshop (of Harry's Espada rebuild) have posted up the carb tuning of a beautiful DB4 GT.

Poor Sam is a bit Ollie Higuys (he sounds a bit like Schmee) but great driver and decent review. What a car and what a noise. Got the makings of a decent channel even without Chris Harris content.

Wibble Esp when it barks into life after failing to catch 1st time.

I mentioned the C9 being a bit of a hero previously - that looked great.

I thought Sam did well.

Probably way behind the curve on this channel but this popped up in my recommended last night and I had a good laugh watching it



Scary vision of what would happen to me if I had money to hoard tat as well

Don't forget the Reserve Collection. Where there is some really rather interesting things.

I very much enjoyed both videos.

Following on from some stuff mentioned in the 'egg thread, a video about an interesting new continuously variable valve duration setup Hyundai are using

I am only half way through that vid, but that is a very nice system.

All very clever and all, but Rover had this over 25 years ago, doing exactly the same thing but using a different mechanism. That was, contrary to the video, the first mass produced continuously variable cam duration engine.

Hmm - I didn’t know how VVC worked...

See from about 9mins...

Nope, me neither. I just thought it varied the base position relative to the valves by rotating the journals on an eccentric. Had no idea it did the speeding up and slowing down thingy.

Pretty impressive for the mid 90s and don't think I've ever heard of a vvc unit failure.
