But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

No.

Going to stick my neck out here, I believe that when the video first appeared, it was widely reported for the first week or so, that the dogs name was Benton! after all, how would the guy shooting the video know what the dogs actual name was! I bet the video was uploaded to You tube long before the owner caught his naughty dog :grin: :grin:

I enjoyed the latest ep, can anyone tell me why often on TG the lights on cars seem to be flashing? In the snowy bit in this ep both the front and rear lights on both cars appeared to be flashing on the slow motion sequences, why does that occur?

Some LED displays are multiplexed which means they are flashing on and off in a way that is not discernible to the naked eye and produces no visible flicker. However when the LEDs are viewed on TV they aren't in sync with the TV frame rate and as a result appear to flicker. It's like watching wagon wheels on an old western movie, the wheels appear to go backwards or forwards depending on how they sync with the 24 frames a second rate of the film, it's the same with the flicker of multiplexed LEDs and 25/30 frames a second TV pictures.
