This tiny car makes for a perfect camper.

Three Croatian guys go on vacation with two Twingos. Some other chod too.

2000s, When All Headlights Looked the Same.

With a voice over that sounds like the American comedian Steve Wright (not the UK DJ)

Not watched it but they have the prototype MG at Gaydon that looks like the Vauxhall Signum, and blow me is it only now I realise it has the same headlights as the Signum/Vectra, which look like my Land Cruiser lights, all of them 2000 cars

[junkyarddog]

Like Slot Mags and jacked up rear ends?

Step this was then,to a small car show from 1987!

Wonder if any of those cars still exist?

Topolino Road Trip 1966 England To Istanbul 1966.

I cannot wait for Part 2

Makes a modern day road trip boring and easy.

 

 

I really enjoyed all three parts of this. Really inspiring story told by an unexpectedly engaging old boy.

It’s YouTube at its best, without all the shouting and the ‘everything wrong with my (insert inane nonsense here)!

Sad that he left the topolino behind at the end though, he must have formed quite a bond with that car by the time he and Rosalind reached the end of the journey!

Remember a few, the flamed model A, chopped & flip fronted escort EST, Valhalla, & I think the Corsair was a factory turbo if it's the one I'm thinking of.

However, as he said in the last video of the journey to Turkey, the adventures continued. Now the latest video has been added to YT. I have not watched it yet.

I'm enjoying Tasty Classics at the mo, having only just discovered the channel - the Dyna Z saga is very good viewing...

Also I know as a Patroen of the channel I am a bit biased but I think the Tools N Track Locust build is a great series and at 80 episodes long so far, there is plenty to watch!

That is tragic and hilarious at the same time.  I can't work out if I am watching a genuine documentary or something along the lines of Alan Partridge! 

I suppose at least back then middle management types actually went for something a bit different sometimes rather than all driving identical Audis, but whining like a spoilt kid because your car doesn't have a small single-letter badge where everyone might see it?  Give me strength!

(edit) Merc guy: "People now really KNOW that I'm a manager, that I'm a senior person in the company!" Yes, but they also all think you're an absolute fucking throbber.

LOADS of spot-worthy stuff in the background too.

It’s a genuine documentary , called From A to B : Tales of Modern Motoring.

There was a company car episode, one about younger drivers, one about families, one about women etc.

Oh I'm definitely looking for the others in that case if the dickheads in this one are anything to go by, this is too funny!

[Aston Martin]

Scrap it.

Ramses, the 100% Egyptian Automobile.

There should be a joke about it not cottoning on.

There are jokes about it, but the thread counts are poor.

Shit car, but RCR does his best 'for the man who's idea of a threesome is having Alexi and Siri wake him up at the same time'

Possibly the cleverest part of this is where the bellend rep claims a 1.7 diesel Cavalier doesn't have fuel injection - exactly the sort of ignorance that his type would have displayed at the time.

The algorithm found me a little gem yesterday: user DaveSpencer32. You might have heard of him as PMP Transport Films; he's been filming mostly buses and trucks all over the world for years and has uploaded some of his archive footage from the 1990s. At the time these were just ordinary everyday street scenes and people probably thought he was mad for wasting tape on such mundane things, but every vehicle you see is interesting now.

On The Line (1982) Pt1

A drama about the struggles of an independent British car manufacturer: Associated British Motors.

 

I can't thank @Remspoor enough for posting this link. It's absolutely fabulous. Imagine Howard's Way crashed into Longbridge, this is the net result. Produced by Central TV! 

I wish all the subsequent episodes were available. It's everything I want in tv: 80s, cars, bad script, industrial unrest, drawing boards. 

My favourite characters are the blaxpoitation (Northern stereotype) couple from Leeds.
