I like the part where he is complaining about the flex plate on the TC.

You would think that after making a complete both of the job no one with more than 2 functioning brain cells would post a video showing just how much on a no brain idiot the are.

G'day everyone,....


OMG!

I can't believe that poor Rolls has been abused like that!

I just watched the video from when he purchased it.

Ughhhhhhhhhhh!

Total idiots!! If they had only read the service manuals. Notice also there is no load equalizer, I drop them with the subframe. It's so much easier.

The old truism, "When all else fails, read the instructions," gets a QED yet again.

I don't care what the specific marque happens to be, in this day and age of the internet the service documents for virtually anything can be sourced, often at no cost, for all but the newest of cars.

Why anyone would attempt an engine removal or any other "major project" on any automobile without having first consulted the appropriate documentation is just beyond me!

My biggest issue is the guy stating that design is bad when he clearly does not know what he is looking at.

Rolls Royce offers the ultimate in refined motoring. This guy will contrast that image with an execution that is loud and unrefined. The contrast is the "joke"

Roadkill from hotrod magazine made a Jaguar with a blown chevy v8 for the same joke.

This will likely end up slow and loud yielding a review video, a couple minutes of video of tires smoking, a few attempts to capitalize on the joke elsewhere.

By contrast, Harry's trip to the arctic in the SS will live on as an epic RR adventure. His thoughtful review was and is a pleasure to watch. The car is still in his collection and he drives it on a regular basis.

Maybe the engine will end up bringing
another SS back from the brink. Let's hope.

I can't wait to see what he's going to use for brakes.

G'day everyone,.....


I've lost count of how many times I've watched that video of Harry taking the Shadow to the Arctic.

That was brilliant wasn't it?
