As a "non-techie", I particularly enjoy programs such as Wheeler Dealers and other car shows, when they take the time and trouble to explain how things work (rather than simply fixing them).

Although somewhat dated now, this clip is a perfect example of how it should be done in my humble opinion

All pretty straight forward for us techies, though I see Chrysler have finally managed to prevent side fumbling between adjacent artefacts (1:14). Now that I didn't know about.

I would have thought MG Rover would have sorted that whilst under BMWs' stewardship

That delivery even surpassed 'Professor' Stanley Unwin (was it? on Ester Ratzen's program long ago).

That's brilliant

.

I wonder if we could get several £M's backing from HM Government for something similar to be produced here

I'm sure we could get it, after all what's that phrase again?

It's about waffle baffles brains or something like that

Although they might be a bit wary as I think the last time it was used was for making a gull wing car with a stainless steel body........

Thanks.

Andy.

One of those "transmissions" twisted my compression, causing the laughing shaft to shear against the giggling pin. Luckily, my highly trained AA operative managed to convey my apparatus by super imposition to a safer and secure environment.

What was that about a 'reciprocating dingle arm to reduce sinusodal...'

Sounds like something Ronnie Barker might have said

Anyway will a dingle arm help with my sinusitis? I only have standard arms

Dingle arms are only available to neanderthals residing in fictional Yorkshire villages!
