Me @ your poasting

I have just been watching that Trabby engine rebuild series. Fairly interesting as I have bugger all knowledge on two strokes (my dad disliked two stroke mowers so we always had four stroke)

At first I thought that cloud of smoke was just from the clutch literally burning but nope. Also I was disappointed they didn't show what the wood looked afterwards but they take it apart in the next video, where they also make wooden flywheel:

Anybody catch the newest Finnegan's garage video? We love watching it in my household, but his most recent video has very prominently featured music from the band 'Testarossa,' specifically a song with lyrics about how social distancing and surgical masks are for pussies and the very sight of someone wearing a mask pisses the band off, and that they won't let themselves be infected by that Bill Gates virus.


Over the course of about 30 seconds worth of that song I lost any will to watch Finnegan's shows. Just couldn't believe it. Of course every single comment is like 'I love the soundtrack!'

So if that's your thing, go for it. But holy poo poo I am so done with anyone openly spreading that kind of a message right now. Really sad, can't imagine what someone from another country would think when they hear that soundtrack.

um excuse me

That's wildly unfortunate. Finnegan has had a bit of a dry spell lately as far as good content goes. The last good video was the 6 door F750.

(Song is Testarossa - Plandemic if you're curious. Its pretty awful generic hair metal with production values that would be sad even for that time period.)

I had to check. Is there actually a market for this kind of middle of the road buttrock? Ignoring the lyrical content it's pretty rear end, the kind of thing you'd expect a bunch of teens to play at a school talent show.

I watched their official channel's lyric video and of course there's a huge capital Q in the middle of a line towards the end. True believers or grifting?

I've taken Brokeback on some roads that it had absolutely no business on, but I wouldn't dream of taking a stock 4x4 on THAT.

Matt does some loving amazing recoveries but this one takes the cake. It's like he answers all my questions about "what would happen if I broke a driveshaft on this climb" and "what if I just bounced off that rock and then slid off the side and down this cliff?"

A channel I like is Swedish car channel Motornörd (motor nerd), which I basically a guy visiting varoious Swedish car enthusiasts who showcase their custom builds, restorations and oddball curio cars. It's pretty low key and chill and it features everything from pristine classic cars through weird soviet terrain trucks to insane hot rods. It's in Swedish, but the guys behind the channel has taken the time to add English subtitles to a bunch of them.

The twho clips of a guy building his F40 replica from scratch is really neat.

They made an announcement on their YouTube page that the pandemic made parts sourcing extremely difficult, limiting their progress on Binky. Not sure what the deal with Escargot is, though.
