Ginger Baker buys a Range Rover and drives to Africa to refine his drumming skills. I'm surprised that he didn't just get his Jensen FF lifted and fitted with off road tyres.

Unboxing A $4000 Chinese Range Rover.

It is a bit more than an unboxing.

Found this recently uploaded;  It's called "Odd Jobs" presented by a "Nick Cotton" looking character called Colin Cobb and presenting about 5 minutes of how to look for faults on a non-starting Triumph. Brought to you, apparently by "Sunrise Motors (Hayes)" who apparently still around!

Just watched that before what I posted above. I've never seen or heard William Wollard so young. It was filmed in 1971.

It was mandatory viewing in our house, no doubt viewed as 'proper educational'* TV unlike, say, On The Buses. 
Baxter & Burke (referred to as a 'right Burke, hohoho') by my Dad were the mainstay until Woolard, Rodd & Philbin rocked up, I always thought Woolard better on Top Gear than he was on TW.
Baxter was an interesting cove - checkout his history - he quit TW after a row with the producer - bit like Clarkson and Top Gear without the fisticuffs

*(The World About Us on BBC2 came on around 7pm (ish) on a Sunday and we were allowed to stay up late provided we had bathed/showered and were ready for bed with schoolbags packed - god, we were boring little automatons )

OK YouTube: No doubt this guy is well known to AS peeps but I've never come across him (probably as I usually avoid YouTube like The Plague but, seeing as Mrs. EWS has The Plague I seem to have free time after dark).
Odd little funny thing he says but I just watched to see how effing complicated could they make a big diesel. Very.

p.s. I'm not a huge H&S nazi but that guy's beard near rotating tools gave me the willies - wonder if he wraps it when working on a working engine?

What's the beard equivalent of scalping? I'm reminded of a terrible elf'n'safety video nasty I was shown a long time ago; Karl Howman/Jacko from Brush Strokes was a lairy apprentice type in a machine shop, long hair, boilersuit open to the waist exposing his typically 70s british physique(racing whippet, pigeon chest, pale and uninteresting) and a comedy medallion, he comes to grief while operating a lathe and loses his hair.

I have just added the link for the re upped version - no idea why they took the original down?

Sadly 'knocking copy' at the end when they show a Reliant driving off in a cloud of smoke. 

The 'media' was always snotty about British manufacturing and to an extent still is.

This is 1 of a series about Dan Gurneys Chevy Impala. Well worth checking the other episodes.

I've heard this for myself at Bacon and Brakes at The Rhynd near St. Andrews and it sounds  AWESOME.

hah youtubes been suggesting that to me throughout today and now even on here I am being suggested it, and now I am reminded why I dont normally watch lightbulb/streetlighting video's by non-lighting enthusiasts!, the fact he kept referring to the whole lantern as "the lamp"  no the lamp is the "Lightbulb" that goes inside the streetlight/lantern! but i have left this comment to hopefully answer some of his questions  hopefully he sees it!

the streetlights shown at the end on the concrete columns I am pretty sure are GEC Z9455 lanterns, and as for how you tell an MA60 and MA50 apart, early ones look the same except the length of the main white fibreglass housing, however later MA50's do not have the metal gear shoe that all gear-in-head MA60's have (Ditto the shortest of the range MA90 is the same later examples dont have gear shoes, but even gear-shoe MA90's you can spot pretty well based on how short n stubby they are) gear-less (where the ballasts are mounted in the column) MA lanterns exist and those are all shoe-less so you have to spot those just based on length
