From The Late Brake Show.
How to start a Steam Engine Car (and what do they drive like?). In this episode Jonny Smith channels his Francis Bourgeois and discovers how to cold start a vintage 100+ year old Stanley year steam car, and how they drive on the road. There were several variations of steam powered car, and the more advanced Doble is also compared.
