Don Terrill’s Speed-Talk

I'm supposing since this is a vintage engine subforum a good many of you probably enjoy vintage motor adventure and vintage motor racing via 2 wheels and 4 wheels, too, and even when the engines involved use that nauseatingly complicated system called liquid cooling.

I myself am 100% an air cooled addict, auto and moto alike, thus despise the nonsense fad of liquid cooling.

But fun vintage cinema and storytelling are utterly worthwhile even when liquid cooling is involved, so I think you fellow luddites will appreciate what's on offer below.

Also, it seems likely a good many of you have already seen one or more of these videos, but here they are anyway. This is glorious stuff from when engine tech was still both emotionally and mechanically accessible to lads in their own garages. Enjoy!
