    A cheap tuning challenge would be mint. 2 teams 3k budget each. Got to buy a car and make it as fast as possible. Have a drag day to see who wins.
    Not sure who’s paying for it but it would be a laugh.

    Hi, I had the same op as Karl plus a quad bypass 12 weeks ago. I joined in the effort to help him and good karma has paid me back. I am on my (slow) way to recovery, and at the age of 73, still expect to get back to single figure golf. You are all special guys, and we get free stand up from Karl occasionally.
    Thank you for a really entertaining channel. Can’t wait for each episode. Thank you. Happy new year to you all. David

    You don't need to add more different things to the channel. You have enough projects on already, in addition to work. Adding something like barn stuff will just dilute the channel too much. Carry on with what you like. Merry Christmas guys and have a fantastic break to return and make 24 the best one yet.

    One of your best videos to date when you ad-lib about work bikes and cars it just flows. Your advice on track days is spot on I booked my first track day at Brands Indy in 2007 while I was drunk even paid for my son to go as well. I took my then brand new zx6r (first brand new bike I had even owned) afternoon session novice group so I got 3 20 minute sessions. Best afternoon I have ever had. First lap not to bad following the track instructor next time round brabham straight as fast as I dared paddock hill bend and up hailwood hill is terrifying then you have to stop for Druids. But I loved it everyone should try it. Funniest thing flash bugger on Fireblade with tyre warmers generator etc friend doing his spannering in the garage parked it in the kitty litter at the end of the main straight! Most sobering part was the pre brief having to write your blood group on your wrist band…

    I would like to see more videos on actual tuning cars, I tune LS engines and originally started watching this channel for the tuning but have only seen 2 videos in 3 or so years on this, but I’ve stayed as I enjoy learning about more exotic cars.
    But I’ve learnt that an LS is bloody good for its simplicity compared to how complex other engines are.

I wish you, your team and your family a very happy Xmas. Just if you have interest check out Mr hewes ( tank man) Baxenden breakers ( scrap yard) and Barum engines... plus the most optimistic man on the planet Matt Armstrong and his rebuilds from Copart.

    Question,
    This maybe a boring question but how do engine makers work out the tourque values of the nuts they need to make it as reliable as possible, and when watching you build engines, you torque nuts up to 80nm plus 90 degrees, isn't that the same as doing it to 95/100 Nm? Hope you and all your family had a great Christmas and all the best for 24. Great videos as always, and if you won't work on Italian genarators , does that include Aprilia ? Haha 😂 cheers
