Not a bad watch, especially on the series 1, its a shame that when they move up to the series 2 and 3 there is a serious deterioration in the sound quality on the video.

The information given at 4.01 and 46.25 is incorrect. The 4.2 engine does NOT have a longer stroke than the 3.8. The 3.4, 3.8 and 4.2 engines all have the same stroke, it was the bore size that was increased to create the larger cc engines. An enjoyable video.

In general a very good video imho.
