    The start-up of the Berkeley after the Cobra was a hilarious and wonderful study in contrasts. The SE sounded like a chainsaw compared to the locomotive-like Mustang. That was worth the price of admission right there!

    I hope we're going to see every single car in your collection. I like that even if you know a car isn't going to start , you still introduce it to us.

    I’m really impressed with how little these cars are smoking after sitting for so long. I love hearing all the different tail pipe tones!

    Huge thank you, Steve. I really appreciate the amount of work that went into this (siting cameras and microphones for each and, of course, the editing). From UK.

    Who hasn't, at some stage or other, with old Brit cars, tapped the starter with a hammer???

  • @131R30
    @131R30 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I was taught that revving a cold engine was not good, especially one that's not been run for awhile; oil is still a bit viscous and lubrication is not yet up to snuff. Also, that starting and not driving enough to fully warm the engine made it vulnerable to damaging condensation, etc. Apparently, you disagree???

      Agree completely. Starting and runing these cars while stationary for a few minutes once a year is . . . L
      less than not good. Do a triage and keep only the ones yoy can't live without. Sell the rest and drive the rest. Enjoy the videos, though.
