Coastr Posted 23February, 2018 Report Share Posted 23February, 2018 Great series..imagine trying to design and install a new IRS for Gordon Murray. Like trying to design a new flat six for Mezger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
81SC Posted 23February, 2018 Report Share Posted 23February, 2018 Thanks for posting this link, I have watched the 4 episodes now & really enjoyed them. The guy doing the rear suspension needs to learn to listen when Gordon wants to talk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

81SC Posted 24February, 2018 Report Share Posted 24February, 2018 Windsor289, Your post got me thinking about the Murray era in F1, that I had watched a long time ago. I found this on Youtube, I could listen to Gordon talk for hours. Truly an inspiring person. symsy, firstone, GTP911 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTP911 Posted 19March, 2018 Author Report Share Posted 19March, 2018 Just released _ Gordon Murray's MK1 Escort - Retropower Build Episode 5 - Cosworth Visit.

Mike-S Posted 11April, 2018 Report Share Posted 11April, 2018 The enthusiasm and the way both the head dude and the rest of his crew are so in awe of Gordon Murray is palpable in the videos, which is really great to see. It comes across that they can’t believe he’s asked them to build it for him. ?? Love some of the other cars. Alfa with a 2.7 Millington ????

firstone Posted 24September, 2018 Report Share Posted 24September, 2018 Ep 10 I hope the boys clean down the body after that silly interview in the booth. Sweaty arms leaning on it and seemingly not much detail in their method. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coastr Posted 1November, 2018 Report Share Posted 1November, 2018 I think the video quality has declined in this series. The earlier ones had a lot more detail, now they just stand in front of the car and talk about what they did and what they are going to do. The car went from finished metal to painted without any video IIRC. Hopefully with final assembly we actually see some action and not just the guys standing beside the car after everything is fitted saying ‘we put the engine in’ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MFX Posted 1November, 2018 Report Share Posted 1November, 2018 You just need to use some brute force to make it fit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
