Don't know if anyone has seen it before, or if anyone knew it was being repeated on Discovery channel (or similar) last night Question

An excellent and very enthusiastic look at engineering feats and accomplishments in my humble opinion Very Happy

Last night I caught the story of the Jet engine, the intercooler and the two-stroke. First two were brilliant but the two stroke program lacked a bit of explanation of how the engine works I thought. It could have been because Robbie Coltrane is not a two stroke fan Confused

Who knows. Still, kept me amused for a while - anyone else seen it?

Btw - I know it's a relatively old program now Very Happy

But humour me.

Yeah, I saw it, and the one about V8's
I love Robbie Coltrane's way of presenting, except when he said he didn't like 2strokes.

Cheers
Rob

yeah it was a good series, i got them on video a couple of yrs ago, and i especially liked the Deisel and the V8 programs. Them crazy Americans even used a V8 to power a Air raid siren lol! The 2stroke program was not so good, but i liked the Race tuned chainsaws! yeah fair to say that he dont like 2strokers too much, but then unlike me alot of people out there probably find the noise quite irritating, especially if they are non bikers, and live near an MX track lol!
