Parry was Welsh, born in Wrexham North Wales, His parents moved to Oswestry Shopshire when He was five years of age. Oswestry is in England but is a border town and has in its history been both in Wales and England. Wrexham has a new buzz around our football club the 3rd oldest in the world 1864, now owned by Ryan Reynolds and Rob McEhenney of Hollywood fame. Thank you youtube for finding this for Me.
I loved the obvious emotion on display during this story. I enjoy every episode but this one kept me leaned in and had a lot of weight to it. Well done team!
Love the show, great work!!! Sam, would love it if you could move the camera off the desk, it shakes when you move, makes us motion sick- LOVE THE SHOW!!!
The American built Allison V-1710, a V-12 engine that powered the early models of the P-38 and P-40 to name a couple, was 28 liters (1710 cubic inches) the bore was 5.5 inches and the stroke was 6 inches. The pistons were about the size of a coffee can, to give you a perspective on the size of these impressive engines.
Thoughts. Yes, Jesse Combs. Doing what she loved to do. Dale Earnhardt, and the refusal of Nascar to wear a Hans device, which Ross feels naked without wearing was malfeasance by the Nascar safety board. Lessons are learned the hard way, but that was inexcusable. Then again it was his choice, the option was available. Looking forward to your take on Indy. Background, I was a huge Nascar fan in the late 80's to 90's to 00's. Mark Martin is my favorite driver ever. After he retired, I sort of fell out of full fandom, still watched some of F1, Indy, and Nascar. To the dismay of my wife, I was all in on Kyle Larson pulling off the 1100 that weekend. I have recently over the past few years become a minor Larson fan boy. He can literally drive anything, and be great at it. The comparisons of him to the AJ Foyts and Mario Andretti's of the world seems insurmountable, as that was a very different time and place, but it still fascinates me. Would like to know your thoughts.
I had to laugh watching your thing on TH-cam about Land speed and Parry Thomas just been at Goodwood today and we have the 350 hp Sunbeam loudspeaker on display and running down there. I don’t know if you know this but we are also restoring the thousand horsepower, Land speed Sunbeam to running condition hoping to get it to Daytona for 2027 forest hundredth anniversary and next year we’re taking the 350 hp Sunbeam to pin Sanden for its hundredth anniversary. Just thought you might be interested us crazy Brits are still doing it see you, Michael
Wow ... some stuff to point out here 🙂: Wales and England are both part of Great Britain ... aero engines even back to the first world war were built using aluminium so were not that heavy for their displacement ... the Supermarine Spitfire and the P51 were both powered by 27 litre Rolls Royce Merlin engines the latter built under licence to Rolls Royce in the US ... and neither of those aircraft had to have huge wings or flipped over from the torque. My qualification aside from having a Welsh mam? My Grandfather worked for Supermarine who built the Spitfire 🙂
You don't need a massive wingspan to lift a 27l engine, nor would the aircraft go slow - the Spitfire had a 27l Merlin engine in it and a wingspan of 12.2m, and that thing went ~400mph at full chat.

best motorsport podcast by a far margin!
These shows keep getting better and better. Keep up the great work!
