The whining is coming from the supercharger in this case

In this month's Hotrod Garage Tony Angelo, the presenter, seems to hit his stride with an instruction on how to get a car that's been standing for nearly two decades running again.

The surfpunk incidental music is also very fine.

Meanwhile, Roadkill gets both silly and meta at the same time. A modern drivetrain in an iconic shed of a car, plus bonus wholesale deconstruction of the entire 'reality' car-telly genre. It's like they'd been watching Charlie Brooker or something.

In re. the Corbyn/media gubbins, I can hear Adam Curtis in my head: '... and just when the media conglomerates believed they were in control, everything changed. A previously overlooked backbench MP was elected leader of the Labour party, which they had not allowed for.'

Ah, Roadkill. The perfect way to manage the transition between semiconsciousness and threequarterconsciousness.of a morning.

'.... but this was a fantasy'

Did you watch the BBC4 doc the other week on diesel engines? It was superb, and made me think of you - especially when there were 1950s tractors and Deltic engines on screen.
