Running very rich !! Nitro... Eyes Streaming, lungs gasping for air.... ears begging for mercy.... fantastic 😀 Nitromethane..... Since 2015, NHRA regulations limit the composition of the fuel to a maximum of 90% nitromethane; the remainder is largely methanol. However, this mixture is not mandatory, and less nitromethane may be used if desired. While nitromethane has a much lower energy density...

It doesn't look like that now sadly
Hey wanna buy a spare fuel filter for it?
Hi... I'll ask Ben if he wants one ! Cheers Paul
Thats a condor not an albatross.
As a boy seaman at the Prince of Wales Sea Training School in Dover we were mounted on board the Princess Margaret to sail into the channel to abandon ship which allowed her to get the B oF sea going certificate, 1968 the summer of, thereafter she the first to go into service.
It sounds like my power tools.
I lived in Malta in the early 80s! I left in 86 and haven't been able to afford to go back since!! I miss it so much!! XXX

Shame about the £10 bacon cobs
It's a free show... bring a sandwich next time 😀😀👍👍
People attending the meet have already bought their Classics along at their own expense, in many cases travelling quite a distance. And they make the meet what it is. So it's far from bring a 'free' show. So to fleece them with overpriced food and drink when they get there is a little insulting. (Speaking myself as someone who regularly brings my Classic Ford to these meets).
After queuing for 30 minutes, they had run out of bacon when my turn came. so I saved myself £10 and waited till I got home
the show is free... no charge to get in... it's a brilliant event. I had a very nice coffee .. £3.30.. a bacon roll would have been nice.... but I can go a couple or so hours without.
Amazing❤⭐🚂👌👍🌟love the steam era
Can you just do that in the street 😂
lol... yes if you know your neighbours very well 😀😀👍👍
Beautiful trucks ❤
Yes they are!
Never did understand why Wetherspoons thought that was a good location for them. Went in a few times, was OK but really didn't feel much like most Spoons with the pool table etc. Having a derelict tower block outside probably didn't help attract the daytime families Spoons needs, either. Weavers Wharf would surely have suited them better, but maybe they tried and couldn't get anywhere.
I bet the neighbours love him
Lol... they do 😃👍

Hi... 5' 9"

I have good memories of travelling on hovercrafts from Ramsgate to Calais. The company was Hoverlloyd and I think the craft was called Christopher Wren? But not 100% sure! Always enjoyed crossing the channel on one and would definitely love to travel on again
Thanks for taking the time to write. Regards Paul
That is the real thing. Great car👏👏👍

What's the name of the engine
either a 10.3 litre Meadows petrol engine or a Gardner

I visited Santa Pod for so many years. I proudly wear the T shirt! Thanks for showing this. Best wishes to everyone there I have a Dalmatian dog now, my second one after losing the first, they DO NOT LIKE Drag racing 🙂 Thank for sharing this video, my dog may have run off but I have tears in my eyes for so many happy memories . its so good to see the place again
thanks for writing.... regards Paul
I love the smell of NITRO in the morning - great video
thanks 😎😎👍👍
That looks awesome, what camera are you using?
Hi... Sony RX10MK2 (mk4 is the latest version) 250fps... it also does 500fps &... 1000fps. Cheers Paul
It’s good to see Princess Anne Hovercraft has been preserved in a museum but it looks like it needs some maintenance to keep it looking like that for years to come. That will cost money though and time to restore it back to its former glory if that ever happens. It’s good to see the Rolls Royce logo proudly stuck on the hovercraft after building those powerful engines. Britain invented the Hovercraft but our military doesn’t have a large hovercraft like the Americans and Russians have. 🇬🇧
thanks for taking the time to write... much appreciated. Regards Paul
I saw the car in the pits afterwards, it blew the blower off the motor and there is a massive hole in the right side of the blower where the metal has just exploded
thanks for your comment... regards Paul
Thank you for sharing this, Paul.
My pleasure!

Get many complaints ? If you do, fuck 'em !
Hey there! Can I perhaps use a couple of seconds of footage from this for a video? With credit, obviously :)
maybe... what are you using it for ?
Some great memories there! Certinly don't see town that busy anymore! Sad, as it was a great busting little town! Thanks for posting! ✌️

Excellent, thank you for the video, the sound is great and the classy crowd wasn't shouting as to not ruin the rumbling as it idled. Can you imagine lifting off in a P-51D mustang 80 years ago, heading across the channel into a hellscape, what bravery. This Memorial Day, as always I will learn about one of the valiant that served the western allies. I recommend triple Ace Captain Bud Anderson who just passed a few days ago 🫡
thank you for taking the time to comment. Regards Paul
When you sell your roof to afford your hobby
Excellent restoration. There is nothing like the sound of a Merlin to get my attention . Nice job and great video. Thanks.
Thank you very much ! cheers Paul
It is really bad for that engine to be running with nothing attached to the crankshaft
No.1 (or 2 - or maybe actually 11 or 12! 🤣) burning a little oil - Valve stem oil seal? Magnificent though! Did you see how quickly it started and how smooth the idle is? Fabulous! 😁
Agreed... a little smoke. It did start very quick. I had forgotten my ear defenders and thought I could stand close to get the video... I had to back away pretty sharpish... lol
A Reliable Choice! Has been my go-to for airport parking, and they've consistently delivered. Booking online is a breeze, and the attendants are friendly and efficient. I've never had to worry about my car's safety. EzyBook is a reliable choice for travelers like me.
I just Imagine Richard Hammond going to bed in that caravan moments before Jeremey flies around the corner in the scorpion.
