    Great video Paul as always. Got to say, I love seeing a new one from you, it's like seeing a new episode of my favourite TV show available!
    Always loved the Cosworths, haven't we all... though for me, the wheels don't work on this one. I know real BBS are mega expensive, but I just don't know about them. *When* I win it I guess I can just sell them on for a profit anyway 😝
    Any idea on the power this one's running? Noticed it has the standard airbox, but then obviously those insane brakes!? Guess I'll wait for the road test/more info from DCG.

    One way to stop the brakefluid from running out empty from the lines, is to press the brake pedal just 1 - 2cm in. That way the resorvoir will be blocked by the piston inside the mastercylinder. You don't spill one drop while taking things apart and much easier when bleeding the lines afterwards.
    Cool car. Brings back some good memories... Cheers from Norway 🙂

    • @ODDAutos
      @ODDAutos  Місяць тому +1

      Yes usually do that but it’s electronic servo on this, the motor turns on a pumps the fluid through when the brake pedals slightly down. 👍

    You do a lot of those "competitions" in the UK, right? Not the first UK car channel I've seen call gambling that strange name. Is that some law thing, I mean - you ask a stupid question and that stops it from being a lucky draw and changes it to a competition?
