New Fb video review

Pandemic spare time led me to shooting this video review of my car. Wish I had a camera and sound man but unfortunately this was a solo effort with all the compromises that entails.

Enjoy!?

Epic work with a one-man Band, Jim. I do not underestimate how tough this is to do on your own. You're preaching to the Converted here, of course. More casual YTubers might want something a bit shorter and more pics (I think it would have been fair to point out, for eg, that in the 70s doldrums of bad cars, the R100, X-2, X-3s were actually pretty cool cars, and some pix of those) to cover your commentary. Its a beautiful car (and I am an SA-guy...) and proudly presented.

Awesome video.

I am in Toronto and daily drive my FB. Still I never see any others!! I might see two or three over an entire summer. I will keep my eye out for yours.

So you run two FMOC's in series? Must be tight for lines and plumbing.
Edit- thought about it more, your S3 has beehive + FMOC.

Nice vid. I wanna see a negative vid on a car for once.

If this was 2007, and I kept my 1st car, a 1970 ford maverick, I could savage it by going over all the faults and failings of a 37 year old car. But by the time it was a 5 year old car, the muffler fell off, the shock ripped off, and a rust hole appeared on the hood from the underside!

Being a teenager, I waxed that car every month. Beautiful body, but rusting from the inside? WTF!

That cream puff would never have made it to 2007.
