Tbf a lot of the success of that series’ projects is down to Sim Oakley. He’s the one I’d really like to sit down with for a beer (not that I would mind James May).
He belongs to that weird and fascinating category of engineering consultants that you call when you want to just build stuff that nobody else will build. The kind of people who end up as experts on scrapheap challenge. Leo Todeschini is another one of those when he isn’t busy making medieval stuff. And I guess it’s also the idea behind M5 industries.
