  • PPC's Will Holman dons his flying cap and goggles and went to visit MG owner, Steve, for a hoon in his turbocharged, road legal Midget drag car.

    That is proper bonkers and proper English bloke in a shed engineering! Love it!

    Practical Performance Car - MG Midget. Is the practical part - the fact it fits in an old style standard garage? 😆
    Superb to see an A-Series used in anger. Very practicooool.

      What happened to Will MG that he wa ‘super charging?

    I think this is your niche. Not quite removing a Merc from a garage wasn’t a bulletproof start but this is. Will is absolutely the right person for it too having built, bought or written about most oily bits.
    Maintain the natural mellow style too I think. The majority of modified channels are a bit shouty, rise above it with know how and clarity. Nicely done.

    Hey that's more like it, getting there lads! Look forward to more home brewed shed built car nutter builds 🤘

    An MG Midget doing a burnout? Now I’ve seen EVERYTHING.

    Back in the late 1960s over in the UK a bug eye sprite was given some proper treatment by the fitment of a D-Type Jag engine, drivetrain and significantly up-rated suspension. The car ended up in Australia and was written up in an article during the early 1980s in a now defunct magazine called Australian Sportscar World. The journo who wrote the article and test drove the car needless to say was somewhat scared given the significant power increase. I note that the use of Jag Twin cam engines have been also done in more recent times.

    Holly tire smoke batman! That's blumin impressive. I love the way he nonchalantly sends it up the road cocooned in his safety cage with you sat alongside totally exposed. 😁

    This is when you know how short sighted Leyland management were ... One of the few factories they had with very low strike record & they canned it ... Even with half that power they could have got a great little Corvette chaser out of Abingdon ...

    First frame of the video contains a slot mag = instant like. Slot mags at the back and minilites at the front? Great episode 👍

    @fsmlittler Před 2 měsíci +1

    Better but a bit more of the car and less of two blokes in a garage looking like they’re on a first date please. You could do so much better with your in car footage. Still brilliant and I can’t wait for the next one.
    Thanks for no music too!,😊

    Yes! Much better. More absolute nutters in sheds who engineer cars with 10x the horsepower they left the factory with! I liked the intro, the camera work and the audio was a bit better. Could have done with mixing a few of the driving shots in with the interview. The length of the video was just right this time. Onwards and upwards! I still want to see a bit of the humour and character from your writing come through in your on camera persona Will but I appreciate that takes time and practice.

  • @driftmonkey3646

    I don’t know anything about making CZcams videos but a different solution is needed for the audio. Much better start to the channel tho
