Anybody watching, it’s great watching the thinking and power to weight ratio to achieve this. Ricardo factory £20 big ones for a torque wrench.

And Guy as watchable as ever :eagerness:
^^ hope he has passed his driving test now - last I heard or read he had been arrested for using a dodgy licence..
ah found it; https://www.grimsbytelegraph.co.uk/n...-trial-2949115
I wasn't that impressed, the whole thing seemed very superficial, the program lacked detail, continuity was all over the place, his haircut kept changing, the charge cooler was on the thing on the first build, they made a big deal out of fitting a bigger turbo and injectors when everyone knows its more smoke more poke with big diesels, to be a tractor it should have had to do things that tractors do, like pull things and anyone could have sat in it and pointed it in the right direction. it was an advert for JCB
I think it was bit more involved then that
of course it was, the engine was always built for much more more power, otherwise an off the shelf one would have been good enough, it wasn't one of GM's bestQuote:

It was eminently watchable but the cost of beating the farmer by about 30mph must have been extortionate.
Yep, that was kind of my take on it too, an advertorial fronted by everybody’s favourite Yorkshireman.Quote:

It watched like throw some money at something and see what happens. Huge advert for Ricardo and JCB, as you said.
