@@sireuchre Hmm. Surely the 't' could be 'accidentally' damaged so that it turns into an 'l'? Ferrari would have trouble contesting that, if a customer had it 'happen' to their car during the rebuild. Far better for them to have a Ferrari on the road with a 'damaged' name badge, than in a scrap heap, awaiting crushing. It would be a badge of honour. Incidentally, if you ever want to take the wind out of an owner's sails, tell them that 'Ferrari' is the Italian equivalent of 'Smith'. 😁

Possibly one of the most interesting new channels from an automotive sense and very talented too. We are all looking over our shoulder with the Electric revolution hurtling down. Must admit I would consider something like this. I have a nice Porsche 986, but if I ever had engine issues I would go this way in a heart beat ..... why not really. That Beetle was epic though. Either way ... hat's off and what a fine endeavour. I have just checked and the Quest Channel is '144' on Sky ... awesome stuff.

Regarding the end of the video: I would love to see more technical videos like some of the examples that were mentioned. There are two things that I'm particularly interested to hear about. (1) Battery thermal management: do these systems typically come with the battery pack, or is there specific tailoring required to a given system? (2) Regenerative braking. Same questions as with thermal management: how much setup/adjustment is required on your end to make it work?
