Cool videos on engine oils

[Binky]

Quite enjoyed the oil ones. They've got an old school cool vibe to them.

I found myself strangely interested.

This is a GREAT thread.

Top find there Mr A*Hero!

And that Ferrari video- beautiful. I'd love to see an Aston one in the same vein.

Thanks thedonal...it'll probably be forgotten about and lost to the vastness of the .org's data banks soon though

but we'll all remember what a great time we had here, nerds united

Quick someone- sticky it!

When did Lego get so complicated, I remember being able to make a single piston model engine when I was a child (when my sister and I were not fighting over the lego set) out of technical lego. The sad thing is that seeing these just makes me want to go out and buy Technical lego again. Am I too old for this?

Also while looking through links for Lego engines I found this guy. He has invented the most amazing concept and I do not know why no one else has ever thought of it?

He has taken his humble mountain bike and fitted an engine, effectively making some sort of Motor-bicycle hybrid. What would you call such a device. Obviously it is a bike with a motor so it would have to be called an Engine assisted multi-terrain bicycle. I am not sure I could think of a simpler term!

I wish I could ride a bike that had an engine, thus making forward progress much easier. In a strange kind of way, the guy is a genius

Problem with these though is that by the time you have ironed out all its weaknesses and developed it to work properly you end up with a motocross bike! Might as well just get a crosser I have an old cr250 in the garage waiting to be put back together......once I've finished playing with my kids lego.
