I’m sure someone has posted this before, but what a time. When all of the stuff isn’t hat was old bollocks, and not a blue chip classic. Capital 95.8 before it became awful, too.

 

good lord that was one hell of a trip down early memory lane for me! 

I was born about a month after that was shot, and my mum had a job at the time and for a few years after, which meant pretty much from Day 1 I was dragged all around Central London, so I have quite a few early memories of a lot of the locations visited in that video!

(single Mother of 3 so had no choice but to take me along!)

so many things I could comment on, like I had forgotten just how many Mercedes Vans of @Zelandeth's type used to be about, but reaffirmed my memory of C15's being everywhere and lots of Car derived vans in general

all the things that have changed that I remember/still think as normal but are no longer, and all the things that are still the same

 

it was also fun seeing all the pre low floor buses on familiar routes, which is something that I was too young to remember

by the time of my earliest Memories (2003~), it was Routemasters and ALX400's for me, nothing in between, as the local/most frequently used bus routes here was the  55 48 26, 38 and 73

so I remember the RMLs on the 38 and 73 (as well as going about their business on other central routes) but by the time I had started retaining memories, all the other Routes like the 48 55 and 26 where already on ALX400's

Thats a Tippen Delta not an Invacar!  amusingly registered 329BHP, amusing as it has a 8Hp Villiers engine...

(quite amusingly quite a few Delta's ended up with xxxxHP and xxxBHP registration marks, as HP was a Coventry Location marker, and Coventry is where they where built and registered)

I really like the 38, if you come in to London from Kent (i.e. Victoria), I much prefer getting to West End kind of areas by bus than on the tube.

Anyway...

It's impossible to make a 36 minute video about the Aston Martin* Cygnet.

Doug: hold my beer

 

[egg]

(in French) but I love these. You can keep your Aston Cygnet. Invacars are way more sophisticated than this old crate!

Think @Twin-Camhas been on great form lately, and I don't even like 911's. Nice balance between facts and opinion and the calmness of the presentation is gr8 👍

"New" song from the Manic Street Preachers, video shot on Super8 film containing lots of period chod.

Story is Kieran Evans who directed it was given the films by his aunt who's in the film, and it was from their travels across Europe. A really cool video I think.

Great thanks for the heads up on this track.

Superintendent Chalmers' 1979 Honda Accord

Don't know what I did to the YouTube algorithm to find this

 

[SteersWithThrottle]

Whilst I do like these nutters and what they do, this one made me slightly sad as the old car they cut in half looked quite solid and probably quite rare even in Novosibirsk (where they live).

 

 

[bunglebus]

Saw that last night and had the same thought - it is a 5 year old video only just translated at least.

Made me cringe seeing them chop it without even taking the trim off the sides 

[bunglebus]

Plenty of old jollop in this one

Not one for the Doug haters, but props for getting his hands on one of these.

Paris vu par....

Was a mid 60's French documentary where 6 new wave French Directors put a film about Paris together. This is the Eric Rohmer section which includes some nice mid 60's Paris shots and occasional but regular chod throughout. 

No idea what this is?!

I do think Ian's mojo has improved since this moved on!
