It doesn't strictly matter because they're multiplied by each other, no? It's not like miles per hour, for example, where one is divided by the other which makes a difference on the calculated figure.

Another superb vid. That Project 7 really suits green, too cool

Loved the shot of the upright, wonder if this is something that might trickle down to the rest of the range in time.

Course not, it's machined from billet.

Did look lovely.

Not actually a fan of the car looks wise but was fascinated to learn some of the needy details that differentiate it from the F Type.

That sound is fantastic. I think JLR have hot the nail on the head allowing the AJ unit to shout in some of its models. Always reminds me of the Charger in Bullett.

With this channel and Chris' new venture things are looking good for petrolheads.

I just watched the FF road trip video again, this is exactly the sort if review I love, great format, even better with cars I might be able to afford, but even with it being a £250k car the review made it sound obtainable.

Keep 'em coming Harry!

Nice car but I really hope this doesn't turn into a JLR promotion channel. :-/
No chance, it's my channel, so I decide what goes in.. Next few vids coming up will be as equally varied as the first two; classics, supercars, sheds, etc. All of these will feature at some point over the coming months.

Thanks for watching!

It's a great channel.
My favourite bit of Evo has always been 'Fast Fleet', particularly when your cars were featured, and hopefully 'Harry's Garage' will include the same details of what these cars are really like to live with.

Just subscribed - I've already watched the Espada trip countless times and the warmth and enthusiasm comes shining through (and what a car!). Keep 'em coming Harry, they're much appreciated... ;O)

As a cost option, not as standard equipment.

Well, to me, a measurement of twisting/turning power can't be measured in feet per pound, but can be measured in pound per foot turned.

I love this comment on Wiki:

"The name "pound-foot", intended to minimize confusion with the foot-pound as a unit of work, was apparently first proposed by British physicist Arthur Mason Worthington. However, foot-pound (ft·lb or ft·lbf) is also sometimes used interchangeably with "pound-foot" to express torque."

Well that worked didn't it? hehe

Oh dear indeed. He's got the whole concept wrong. He's describing torque as lb/ft, which is certainly not the same as lbsft or, the supposedly wrong ftlbs.... Which actually gives the same result as the "correct" lbsft, but his method of lb/ft is totally wrong.
