[@steveforde7475]

I'm old enough to know what a carburettor is and how they work, but I didn't know the origin of the word. Everyday is a school day! Thanks Iain.

[@grietga]

Not from "burette" ! See my comment above. It comes from "carbure", or carbide in English.

[@merstrand1]

I was Proud to be there in person - was lucky To speak to Lain afterwards, what humble likable person 👌

[@KenFriisHansen]

Being Danish myself, and having lived 6 years in the UK, I enjoyed this video ... but also recognized that the special Danish brand of humor doesn't always "translate" that well

[@jonm2884]

You got that right, like trying to raise a laugh in a morgue. Lol.

[@NLBassist]

Being Dutch I understood all the humour.

[@pj9375]

I didn’t think the humour was so bad. Maybe the delivery but it’s tough and I’m certain he did a much better job than me in Danish!

[@seantaylor5660]

He definitely tried very hard though. 😂

[@paulelverstone8677]

Superb - I find myself saying that a lot on this channel. The tuning with the hose pipe is like borderline alchemy. When you think about how much metal is being thrown around in that engine, the coin on the rocker cover is just as impressive. Man! I love old engines...

[@DocGliss]

Brilliant. Bravo, Iain. I actually sat here behind the screen and applauded when you placed the coin on the engine. Thank you for this.

[@williamkaiser8067]

That really is impressive. If I tried that on my Triumph, it would be covered in oil on the floor in 6/10ths of a second.

[@swordmonkey6635]

Very educational, easy to understand, humble and entertaining. Great job Ian. If you weren't a mechanic, you'd make a great lecturer.

[@jamesallison4875]

I’m proud to be a fan. Those Danes look like a tough audience! You were brilliant as usual. Thank you, Iain.

[@CR-di1lg]

Just how we are in Denmark

[@ericsbuell]

Perhaps the "tough audience" was spellbound and realized they would never witness this again, while crafting tales to share with their children that they had seen Merlin and he was real! 😉🎄🎅

[@fthyme87]

I would guess most of these people are wealthy clients to the company - not necessarily fans. But what do I know :D

We were all in awe of the dispaly in front of us, live and with no safety net!

[@martinfisker7438]

It's also very difficult to get a crowd reaction when there's to few people

[@MrFlyingguy]

Just came from Harrys to this, what a combo.... do you release at the same time for the impact? works for me anyway.

[@danapeck5382]

Totally agree

[@Al-of3zp]

Same

[@benjaminblakemore9704]

TOTALLY AGREE! BUT SHIT... LAIN IS KILLING THE GAME BRO!!!😂😂❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊

[@superchickensoup]

It's all about penetration

[@nomdeplume798]

I'm just about to go the other way. If you see what I mean.

[@Boyzee355]

My goodness when you get so excited to see these videos of our Sir Tyrrell pop up on the screen already knowing we’ll be happy for the next half an hour or so…. In a troubling time for many these being pure joy. Thank you Sir as always

[@LandYacht]

Iain reminds us of a time when automobiles were musical instruments, not appliances.

[@Jimmy-hd7vu]

Well said 👌

[@loaded2820]

He is a musician. I'm lucky enough to be gifted with the same talent, though I can't tune cars, I can hear music and immediately reproduce it on the piano. He combines that ear with his knowledge of motors. it is a remarkable skill.

[@glennmcqueen9475]

well said

[@keithskelton5596]

Harry M Referred to the new £100k Lotus SUV as an appliance I can relate to that Sole less The Muira S is anything but sole less

[@eldorado767]

I seem to recall a TV ad in the 50's for Buick, I think, that referred to the 'throaty obbligato' of the car's V8.

[@stevennazar2102]

Wow,could listen to Iain all day,his knowledge is incredible. Someone needs to have him on TV.😊

[@smal1393]

If I were younger, I would ask Iain to work in his shop as an apprentice at zero pay, just for the experience and education. Thank you for the ongoing videos you provide. Watching the coin balance and dance brought tears to my eyes.

[@trainmanbob]

For the first time Iain I have no idea what to say. The video sort of says it all. You captivated your audience with incredible knowledge and expertise. As you are an accomplished musician and car tuner by ear, I will leave it to you as I am tone deaf!!. Super video as always. In case this is the last of this year Iain, a very happy festive period to you, your family and all the wonderful workers at the garage. Cheers, Bob

[@iain_tyrrell]

Thank you Bob. The very same to you

[@JakobGebauerFilmsGebauer]

Thank you for the visit! It was a pleasure meeting you and hearing all your stories.

[@samcurrie3367]

Holy moly. I am a chemistry teacher and a car nut, but never in my life had I realised the link between the carburettor snd the burette. Iain, you've blown my mind.

[@michaelguerin56]

Thank you. Nice to hear No. 6 engine running. Excellent video.

[@aZeddPrattFilm]

It’s so important to pass down this knowledge.

[@mitchellsteele3878]

Ian it’s always a privilege to watch you tune the carbs on the Miura, great video, thank you and merry Christmas to yourself and all your team 🎅👍

[@iain_tyrrell]

Thank you too. Merry Christmas to you and yours too!

[@kasperkjrsgaard1447]

Blimey 😳 Welcome to Denmark Sir 🇩🇰 I hope that you enjoyed your stay 🤗

[@iain_tyrrell]

I was very well looked after thanks!

[@thepodbaydoorshal]

Have to appreciate the amount of knowledge that Mr Tyrell dispenses with such clarity and charisma. It’s an art.

[@rotatoryrotisserie3619]

What an absolute joy! Thank you Iain. Excellent work.

[@NickAsh-jl5nq]

Thanks Iain,that’s great to see you in action with those carbs.Having lived in France for the last 38 years,I have worked in garages,my collègue Joel,took his mechanics apprenticeship in an Alfa Romeo Dealership in Caen France,where I live.He started at the age of 14,tuned those carbs just like you, with ear ,rubber hose and screwdriver. I had a Peugeot 205 Rallye at the time,he tuned my Webber’s with much,finesse when we put k&N competition air filters on too.noisy but great fun to drive,my son loved the sound. His biggest task was tuning the Alfetta 6 engines,that had 6 carbs too,nearly a couple of hours to do sometimes for all servicing. Thanks Iain,looking forward to more next year🙏

[@jonkvh]

That was absolutely Brilliant Ian. You were a perfect public speaker too. Thanks!

[@timc924]

Iain Tyrrell: the Stephen Fry of the restoration caper. What a maestro. In some centuries, he'd have been put on a ducking stool to establish if he was a Warlock.

[@stuartsmith5308]

Merry Christmas to everybody in Denmark and everybody at Ian Tyrrell's Workshop ❤

[@kriskross63]

Greetings to Denmark from Switzerland

[@rogerpritchard]

Long ago I had a simple 1966 triumph spitfire with two carburettors. My mechanic used to tune it with a hosepipe. I remember being so impressed at the time.

[@JanArnskjold]

How amazing to see you in DK at Selected - as a Dane - really great Thanks Iain - and hope you enjoyed your stay here - I am quite sure that you did - and great to see that some of you projects ended up here in our small corner og the world ! My Best also for the holidays - look forward to see more from you in the future 😊

[@iain_tyrrell]

Thank you. I was very well looked after. The very best to you and yours for Christmas too

[@kenmh7357]

This was fun! The host was great!

[@drdesmo8489]

Iain’s artisan craftsmanship is brilliant. That V-12 on the stand, seriously ! What a fantastic video in Denmark 🇩🇰 in a truly unique setting with some of the best automobiles ever produced. Iain thank you so much for this dedicated hard work and passion ❤

[@kristianfjeldgaard1]

I’m so honored to see that you have visited my home country and spread your knowlegde😊

[@caeserromerosorangewedges]

Iain makes it look so simple but you can't see the thousands of hours spent to gain such expertise. Wonderfully engaging, as always.

[@jeppenordfosskristensen7319]

Top job - Once Again 👌🏻 Greetings From Danmark 🇩🇰🇬🇧🏁

[@AntonHoward-mx9sb]

The No6 engine is a work of art, the way the intake and exhaust are angle to give the straightest run in and out of the combustion chamber. If you ever need an old school machinist Ian, give me a shout.

[@TheJustaviewman]

Iain, your knowledge of Italian marques is incredible. A great teacher's lesson on the Miura. You are Sig Lamborghini.

[@lindaoffenbach]

Deary me, very unexpected this one. How fantastic for making the event accessible here on YT for everyone to enjoy and experience. And I can only imagine tuning an engine like this just by human senses requiring years and years of experience. Of course sounds can be explained but, as with music, they do require years of undergoing them to be able to actually sense and distinguish all balances and delicacies. Thank you so much Iian for open publishing this happening.

[@MrNikodemus5]

Thanks a lot for that simple and accurate introduction on how a carburetor functions !!!

[@runechristiansen7372]

I hope the crowd is more impressed than their faces show 🤣 Good job Iain 👏👌

[@williambarry70]

Ian Your the man you really are there’s nobody out there with your wonderful stimulating manner of simply explaining the complex !

[@knoxyish]

love watching ian tuning carbs !! reminds me of tuning webers on alfas ! back in the day ! get the pipe out screwdriver adjust then adjust again !!! on full throttle they sound amazing !

[@SnowDawg]

This was a magnificent episode. I enjoy both Iain's artistry with tuning engines and also his ability to clearly explain the intricacies of tuning priceless engine. He also brilliantly explains the history of the cars. I appreciated all of the sarcasm that he and Claus wove into this presentation. Thank you for sharing this.

[@deangiolas9528]

Tyrrell is a master. Made that engine sing. That was beautiful.

[@user-ef8xi1vk8p]

I am not ashamed to say that when you started that engine, a tear came to my eye as I remembered when way back in my youth, we tried the same thing with a GM 327 V8 and it, being not fastened down, rolled over on the floor but nothing was broken. Once again I will suggest you start a school of sorts to pass on your genius abilities with these art forms and oh yes, did they knight you yet. :)

[@kieranelliott3865]

The maestro - chapeau Ian. One of the best parts of my week

[@BilklubbenPodcast]

Epic video, and nice to see you visiting Denmark and SCI!

[@smudger6461]

Educational master, thank you, sir. I'm so glad I stumbled across your work some time ago. It's great to see some classy work on those carburettors.. just brilliant ❤

[@GordonWishart]

Iain. Professor of Lamborghini engines. A magnificent presentation to the Danish student body. I for one had a bare understanding of what a carburetor was. Now I could pass an exam on it. Excuse American spelling! A brilliant video. Thank you.

[@dholga1970]

Just like all your videos, am always appreciative to watch from start to finish!

[@danapeck5382]

Best Christmas present ppdcast ever!! Thanks yet again and all the best

[@haulinclasstv]

Hearing these cars in person is just incredible. You more than hear it; you feel it rumble your soul. Great video, lots of information here. Thanks for sharing!

[@simonelliott5956]

Fantastic! A master at work!

[@benzina5917]

Wonderful content as always. I will add a little background info to your mention of the Audi TT and its addition of a rear spoiler. The rear spoiler was added as part of a recall after the early TT's were delivered and not before initial production. This, in addition to a slight re-work of the rear suspension made the cars more stable at high speed. Back in 2000 I was working at the Bedford Autodrome and we were partially supported by Audi at the time. To compensate TT owners for having to recall their cars, Audi offered track experiences to customers which I was a part of. Many years later I became close friends with the original designer of the TT Freeman Thomas and he told me that the original design of the TT had a small rear spoiler that was to be deployed at speed to negate lift. That spoiler (very similar to the one the Turbo Beetle got) was axed by accounting to their peril and thus a necessary recall after some accidents was required.

[@iain_tyrrell]

Thanks for that- very interesting!

[@happy_camper]

Every time I turn around, I am discovering a new favourite colour for the Miura.

[@darijomar2153]

One of a kind Iain is, imagine doing your apprenticeship with him , what a privilege that would be. A master of the motor industry that hopefully in time he will go down as pioneering icon. #knighthoodforiain

[@dafalzonAUS]

Thank you Iain for that demonstration, I enjoyed it very much👌

[@HenningDiesel]

Mesmerizingly fascinating and educational.

[@robertmarr8991]

Great episode.Thoroughly enjoyed every minute.Iain Tyrrel the MAISTRO of engine tuning.Cheers

[@Jimmy-hd7vu]

What an awesome vid. I knew the basics of how carbs worked and of course, the iconic name of Weber. But Iain takes it to another level and explains it to all of us. Thanks Iain.

[@isalmankhan1]

What an honor👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Thanks for sharing Sir IAIN😍😍😍

[@gertjanzuidema]

What a treat! Thank you!

[@russellb1212]

As always excellent content, loads of information, make the complex easily understood, some skill

[@jeffreyoldham55]

Absolutely brilliant presentation, Professor Tyrrell. I cannot believe that we actually got to hear that glorious engine bark & roar into life!

[@IcelanderUSer]

Brilliant. At first I was thinking what’s this, a zoom type video, but know, it turned out to be one of the best Ian videos yet.

[@pimpy200]

Learned a lot, thank you!

[@keithskelton5596]

Absolute LEGEND thank you 👏🏾👏🏾🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿✌🏼

[@tug1345]

Thank you Iain, that was brilliant

[@Z-u-m-a]

Just wonderful. Thanks Iain.

[@vitovitale169]

The great Giotto Bizzarrini designed the Miura's engine which was first manufactured for use in the 350GT in 1964. An engine that carried on in production all the way to the Murciélago LP 670-4 SuperVeloce!

[@PFW1974]

Absolutely fantastic! Thanks Iain keep the content coming please.

[@stevewilliams7956]

Thanks so much for yet another great video of great technician vs old school classic. Fantastic as ever 👏

[@stephencurry8552]

Saw the video was available. Did not play it straight away. I figured it was something special. And it is. Makes me so happy to see machines cared for at the same level I take care of mine. It is truly wonderful that so many see something like the Miura as a piece of working art. To see the balanced coin made me laugh and smile. Bravo.

[@mschrappe]

Fantastic show down!

[@moviebod]

Respect Iain. You have shown that you are surely the maestro of car tuning that we have always thought you were. Thank you so much for sharing (some of) your secrets.

[@seantaylor5660]

Truly amazing. Have you done a video on the rebuild of engine no 6? Must have been quite the undertaking from what you said. Thank you, a very enjoyable video.

[@iain_tyrrell]

Thanks. We didn’t do a vid on that unfortunately. Try harder next time!

[@obi-wankenobi7160]

Love this channel, if you ever come to the US for a demonstration count me in. Such a great speaker and a very knowledgeable gentleman. Hats off to you sir

[@chrisbanks5925]

Fascinating Iain and thank you for sharing this superb demonstration of your skill and knowledge.

[@kramnam4716]

That is so fabulous, especially when he talked about chips! Only Iain!

[@NigeUK007]

Iain, you’re material is just outstanding. I am so glad to have came across your channel and content. Infectious, mesmerising, fascinating and thought provoking. Adore how you keep your trained secrets! Giampaolo Dallara has got to be proud of this one! Such a lovely engine.

[@jakkovaningen8350]

This was absolutely superb. Brings back memories of working on the carburetor of my old Vespa scooter; I should have watched this 30 years ago 😂

[@hamishcruden7623]

Most amazing video. The way you can tune the car with your hearing is simply a sight to behold...

[@antonoat]

That was most enlightening and very entertaining Iain. Seasons greetings !

[@iain_tyrrell]

Thank you- the same to you!

[@ricardocosta951]

Thanks Ian what a joy to listen your knowledgeable explanations 👌

[@raymondkarlsson9794]

Wow! Tyrrell is an unbelievable source of knowledge and Inspiration 😍

Wonderful etymology of the word 'carburetor'. Jewels of knowledge.

[@avmelidor]

Outstanding

[@xjr358]

Brilliant! Thank you!

[@Supercruze]

Amazing Demo. Ian is a true artist at what he does with these classic cars.

[@MutieThePig]

What an absolute master of his craft. I love Iain's videos and his work. A true gentleman...

[@theskitz75]

What a sound 👌

[@Bikeaddict4235]

Well , that’s definitely answered my question about the carburettor Snail 😂 Another great video. Thanks iian

[@ianjay5301]

Fun to be vicariously observing the running of that engine. I had as much fun watching you start the engine as when you were closing the trunk on the Standard Steel Bentley. Thank you.

[@steppings5645]

Pure education and entertainment, wonderful.

[@MegaGreatpretender]

Another great show Ian,the coin trick was stunning

[@davidhinkson8856]

I've seen you do that test so many times but the explanation is fascinating, especially when you said your musical background helps in this aspect of your work. Another thing you can never experience with an EV.

[@markbuckley4152]

Another great, informative video!

[@stephensimpson5283]

I love where you are taking us!

[@benifivewives]

What a lovely informative video, thank you Mr T.

[@alech8336]

I really enjoyed that, thankyou very much!

[@Gravengaard]

Amazing wizardry! Damn, that V12 in the end sounded like a Merlin engine
