For those saying "this feels like one big ad to a show" lets not forget that we Are getting the content that we all subbed to. Background footage, love of cars, and the characters that make us want to pursue or continue working on our own projects. Love you guys from US! Merry Christmas

[@obsidian....]

Did you sign up for a show that's an ad for another show? People can complain if the content switches to something they didn't subscribe to, to let the person know they don't appreciate it. . I didn't, but I understand it and critiquing content is more valuable than silly "love this" comments (which actually say nothing)

[@janis7077]

@Obsidian Look at the channel description, the content you're getting is the exact content that this channel was made for. If you don't want to watch the show, then don't watch it. You can just watch the youtube videos and not care about Hammond's show.

[@Amstro515]

Tbf Richard owns (partly) this channel, so it's just smart business for him. He gains "free" advertising for his main show, while he earns on making the advertisement. Overall i don't mind this kind of content, as long as it's about cars im all for it, i prefer this over the "car care/detailing" videos.

[@juddphilby9015]

Sad result but great to see it in action. Also pleasing to see Abby back and racing hard. Roll on next year!

I'm fascinated by racing, so I'm thrilled that Richard is running a full season next year. The racing bug bites hard, and I can see Richard getting absolutely obsessed by it. Much success to the team and the shop.

[@Dregkar]

This is awesome. I always wished one of the three would get into racing ever since the episode of Top Gear with the 24hr race in the diesel BMW. I really hope we can get more of the racing footage from either Richard Hammond's Workshop or this channel.

The paddock drama is common. One time I queued up for my session, not realizing that the next group had already started lining up behind my group. By the time I got to the front, they said, "sorry, your group just finished." Not. Happy.

I just spent three days vegging on season 1 and 2 and gotta say it's a superb show. I love the versatility and involvement of it all, showing it's not just a two-bit pipe dream but a real passionate business, a family thing, very sentimental and a team effort and all in all bringing like-minds together. The Greenhouses are very a talented bunch.

Tough break for The Cog racing team, next year Doris is sure to work for more than a day, hopefully the whole racing season! Thanks to all the gang at the Cog, it's a fun little show to watch, hope to see more next year. 👍

[@dwaynedibley3529]

Watched the complete series. Absolutely brilliant.

[@thebritishengineer8027]

Hey COG guys you really need to put some mesh behind the grill to protect the oil cooler. And if you want to cool the engine down put a couple of louvres in the top side of the bonnet.… but be aware when it rains you get water coming off the grills.

[@ataxpayer723]

Here are some ways to reduce the engine temperature: 1. Install a thicker & larger capacity radiator. 2. Punch plenty of louvres in the bonnet to get the hot air out of the engine bay. 3. Install a transmission cooler ( if the rules allow it ). 4. Install a larger engine oil cooler. 5. Install much larger air cleaners to help the engine breath.

[@Jon.S]

Fingers crossed for a season 3, really nice seeing things starting to come together for TSC.

[@SegginsProductions]

I feel like now that the shop is more established, and they have more consistent work and things to do we will get more show more consistently. As long as we all keep watching.

[@cliveburton8992]

Great car and drivers with a lot of potential. Once the core plug is back in fit a coach bolt between it and the backing plate for extra safety. You also need some luvers in the top of that bonnet to get the hot air out because they build up a lot of excess heat under there.

[@Rekuzan]

Considering everything it takes just to get to the starting line, this is definitely an improvement!

[@user-gc1zn5mn4p]

That MGB GT, even though racing, should not have overheated on such a cold day--the 1st. thing I would check for is an improper thermostat.

[@ataxpayer723]

And work on getting the hot engine air out of the engine bay. Ie bonnet louvres. You can also check for an air pocket somewhere in the cooling system that could be working its way around the system to the water pump, thereby preventing the water pump from working.

[@Grahammilsome]

Although I love the series and wish them well, I was so surprised to see them choose an MGB as a race car. I know its what they had in stock but its not, and never has been one of the most reliable or easiest to work on cars available. This of course is only my opinion but it has been formed over the last 45 years of being a mechanic with lots of experience of this type of car. I really hope that their luck with it picks up.

Sadly the truth of motorsport it doesn't always go to plan but the time are pretty solid for the a 1:11 for the national. Looking forward to see the at the CSCC in the future.

[@ataxpayer723]

Will the rules allow you to run an aluminum bonnet and ally door skins to save weight, and to install a 13 row engine oil-cooler, to help keep the engine cool? I notice that you have now installed one side draft carb. Will the rules allow you to install an airbox on the carb, then run a cold air tube that runs from the front of the car, directly into the airbox, thereby bringing cold dense air into the carb. This will help to produce more power and help to cool the engine.
