BRAVISIMO!!!!!!!!!

I can not relate to the time it took to do that snippet. Unless there is a new phone app that allows you to turn normal video into stop-time video, that took hundreds of hours.

1968 MGB Purchased already dis-assembled which is why I'm often ignorant about what some parts are, and even more ignorant of where they go.

Saw this elsewhere on the web and was expecting a Rolls Royce Merlin engine as fitted to The Spitfire,

.... still, very clever and very time consuming to produce.
