Sorry if this is a repost...

My English-car-loving friend sent me this link to a stop-motion video of a Triumph Spitfire engine teardown/rebuild. Very entertaining, and with a twist at the very end that I, for one, can relate to...

I like the valves all jumping into the head - pretty cool.

That is pretty cool and makes it look really easy. In reality (meaning me) that would take three years.

Just posted that on the Classic Motorsports site (before I saw this). Excellent!

I've done that many times (my race-Spridget used to run a 1500). Normally, it takes a bit longer than that!

Apparently took 11 months to film.

My 3 year old daughter loves this video. She as watched it with me about 10 times over the last few days, and I don't mind one bit!
