    I'm a Brit, and when you started the TR4 at 2:10, I could literally SMELL the 1970s!

    Enjoying the race is really more important I think. the taking part. You now know how to remove the battery without taking too much of the car apart! Nice car Steve and just go out there and do your best. 👍👍

    Nice car!! I've been a TR guy for over 50 years now. Currently have 2 '63 TR4's for restoration. I like the surrey top and backlight on the race car! And it looks like you have a later model brake system and reservoir . Good luck in the racing

    As you say, sometimes it’s not about winning so much as taking part. Can’t wait for the in car footage. Have fun, as an old Brit it’s lovely to see and hear the cars of my youth that haven’t been ‘updated’ to modern engine standards.

    Sounds like a great time to be had! Maybe you can trailer that bad boy over to Pittsburgh Pa in July and race Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix.

    You do a fantastic job of showing and explaining what you do, but your videos are too short. I want more. I love your collection of cars, too.

    Oh that sound. I have my dad's H production bugeye in the garage, needs restored (body work, engine pretty much everything). But hope to have it making similar exhaust notes someday.

    Hi Steve. I think it was a couple of years since l saw you race this . And l was genuinely surprised at the mild power output , l think Kas' was getting much more out of his. But that was for a very different class . Thanks Steve

    Sweet ride Steve! I have a 59 Bugeye and I attend the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix every year. Been going ever since 1998. Let us know in a video if you plan on attending or in the comment section. Take care.

      I would like to attend wanted to come last year. Don't know when the event is so I don't know if I am free that weekend yet.

    @edsalerno2790 Год назад +1

    Sounds amazing . The front wings with the aluminum trim gives a TR250 vibe plus makes repares to damage eaiser than a whole wing.Well thought out. The video of the racing will sound great.

    Could the reduced torque be down to old fuel

    You've never had a fire suppression system go off in a small space have you. Trust your suit, gloves and helmet as you'll need your vision and breath.

    • @ThisWeekWithCars
      @ThisWeekWithCars  Год назад

      It is required in most race cars today probably won't be long until it is required in vintage also.
