    As a lad from the States, I am always impressed at the level of dedication the Aussies have to their craft. Giving Al and Woody the time to come into the shop and highlight the level of expertise and engineering that is local to their country is always impressive. Cheers to the Harrop Engineering lads for giving an insight into their factory!

      as a german lad living in the US, i am always impressed with the dedication to trades and engineering and manufacturing seen in the UK, Germany, and apparently also in Australia.

    • @scottwheeler2494
      @scottwheeler2494 Před 2 lety +2

      I am amazed by all the hotrodders everywhere. Regardless of the country, they are dedicated to improving their rides often in direct opposition by their government regulators. We are lucky here in the States so far at our ability to modify our cars in most cases to what we want - even building our own designs with parts from around the world.

    Fantastic to see that we still have high quality automotive manufacturing happening in Australia after the death of our local automotive industry. Seeing facilities like this is the one aspect that I miss from being in the CAD/CAM industry for 20 years up until 2016. Always loved seeing the amazing products that were designed and manufactured in our products. Great episode and looking forward to seeing the dyno results next week.

    Now Harrops doing superchargers for, well, anything you want! Unbelievable!
