Spraying motor oil all over the road.

That was dangerous! if a rod had let go at 10k and he was standing over the engine like that recording this he would be dead!!

From the youtube above, I'm puzzled. Isn't this the same culture of people that gave us Shakespeare?

 

[RollerRocker]

Did he post a used oil analysis after the runs?

Yes, but they also gave us Monty Python's Flying Circus.

Looks like something they might do on BBC's Top Gear. A 6-pack of beer and an engine running without heads = a good time.
