My heavens, they're stringing this out rightly !!

Well atleast he won the Hooker's Choice,, but was there more plastic in the award or the judges ?

[911hillclimber]

Spread a bit too thinly imho but still good.
Had to drop it for Poldark so never saw the finish...

Watched it with my 11yr old daughter and we both loved it.

I think it was pitched rights d explained things well to those who have little knowledge of the engineering ( as in my 11yr old learnt loads and actually said she had no idea there was so much involved in building a 'race car' )

[Nick Moss]

I was not impressed with his co-driver, who apparently has won the event many times, his reading of the road was about as advanced as a 5 year old: "The road goes right, then left...."

[Nige]

To be fair Nick he only had to say that about 3 times.

Great engine conversion, all you need to do is bolt on a new injection system and a water pump and you can double your horsepower apparently, never knew that......

[Nick Moss]

And double the size of the turbos

[964RS]

Was ok. I find the narrator a bit dull, I'm sure it's the same person who does the 'How they do that' mini documentaries on one of the sky channels...

[911hillclimber]

Yes, same gent with the voice.

As ever, I would like a bit more tech, but it is inevitably a compromise, and still 'good'

More on the rear wheel drive conversion would have been nice and was 6th just too tall for the 600 bhp or something engine to push the Transit at 150 mph (when it eventually engaged)?

What's next for Our Man?

I enjoyed it but they always seem to never leave time for testing. I know it makes for better telly but ...
