Re: Random Video Of The Day
I'm always amazed at how close, and calm, the spectators are when the driving is that on the edge.

Yes, I hope Austin doesn't drive as aggressively as that in the canyons.

Re: Random Video Of The Day
Here's a good one from 1937. The best part starts at 5:50 where they drive a tour of England.

Re: Random Video Of The Day
Thanks for sharing Steve, that was a great video. I can attest to the qualities of the Ford eight, my mother had one just like the subject car, when I was a boy, and it was an excellent car.

Re: Random Video Of The Day
Man, that steering wheel looks like the worst thing ever invented for performance driving. I could almost feel my hands slipping off of it. There were a couple pretty hairy moments in there, too.

Re: Random Video Of The Day
Neat video. The steering wheel is not unlike the slick, thin wheel in the E-type.

Re: Random Video Of The Day
From the driver.
Thanks E... The drift @ 2.20 was all under control, 'cause at quite slow speed. The worse moment came @ 4.58, when my brake foot slid from the brake, 'cause water dropped thru the air-intake down onto the pedal...! This car is well known for ist Gullwing doors, but - as you can see - it was built for racing; not cruising! Keep on racing! mü

Re: Random Video Of The Day
Yes well I've driven a 300SL, and I consider it the worst driving car I've ever experienced. It would take a very accomplished driver to drive one as fast as that cat seemed to be going. I really don't know what the fuss is about 300 SL gull wings. I think they are beautifully engineered, but very poorly designed junk.

Re: Random Video Of The Day
That is a really refreshing idea. At least the British embrace their heritage rather than bulldoze it. I really like the idea of having all of those industries in one historic location. ![Bow :bow:](./images/smilies/bow.gif)
