I think it was pretty good, considering the fact that it (the programme, not
the 100") was designed from the start as a commercial venture for a mass
audience. A lot of good detailed info for those that don't chop up landy's
on a daily basis. Oh, and there's no getting away from the fact that he's a
damn good presenter. I built a 100" leafsprung many years ago, and it was a
great fun little tool. Why did I do a leafer? Long story, might explain one
day if anyone's actually interested!
BUT - speaking as an engine builder, I seriously cringed at his engine
rebuild, especially the state of the pistons that he fitted! And as for
linishing a pump face like that, no wonder the relief valve stuck so much
afterwards. Bet you those new shells are rubbing copper already, good thing
the v8 is so tolerant of such misuse.
