Days when the BTCC what Chod-tastic

[Vin]

 

Scunthorpe 1981 - set to the music of Soft Machine...

 

When you get through the 2 minutes of newspaper headlines there are some gems...A funeral using a wedge hearse and limousine...The cars leaving the steelworks at shift change - Renner 12, Robin, A60, Cortina to spot a few... A Hunter being crushed...As many 'fresh killed turkeys' you could wish for at the market...

 

It is SPECTACULARLY GRIM

DTM History - The Golden Years. Plenty of E30 and W201 action, wrapped up in a cheesy 80s German soundtrack.

 

And parts 2 and 3:

With hawt Datsun Bluebird action.

[warren t claim]

This has to be in the top ten of "no way would this movie scene be allowed these days particularly with a PG rating" list.

A field at the end of Fantazia NYE 93. Right load of old chod getting driven home dangerously by a load of people sucking on dummies whilst wearing dungarees and nafnaf jackets.

 

The girl and the black lad made me cringe a bit like. She does not even seem that off her tits, she needs to have words with her dealer as those Doves were actually asprin.

Fast Plowing!

Autoshite being raced in Belgium:

Same location, shittier shite from this year:

 

[RedSparrow]

Here is part 1 of 4 of a documentary about how Trabants are built. It's dubbed in Czech but it was quite interesting to see how labour intensive it was to build the bloody things - they are basically handmade.

Part 2 shows the duraplast process which in interesting, check out the lack of any health and safety / PPE whatsoever and the machinery that looks like it hasn't been cleaned or maintained for 20 years.

Part 4 shows the body panels being grafted on. Hand drills and rivets. I knew the things were pretty crude but bloody hell.

L'homme à la Tagora est un battant, un dirigeant, un haut-responsable!

 

[RedSparrow]

This shows the Wartburg factory, which looks light years ahead of the Trabant works. Almost on a par with western european standards in 1990.

 

 

In German, but again some very interesting footage.

 

 

Also, am I the only one who uses this fucking thread to post videos now? Or should I just start a new thread for every new youtube clip I find like everyone else?

Re Trabants:

 

Watching that, I spent most of my time thinking "what machine would I least like to get my hand caught in"

[garethj]

My latest efforts at 1:32 scale slot car production

[Felly Magic]

Nice. Love the 'Fall Guy' replica pickup

[pompei]

Just watched Junkman's Belgian races - bloody bwilliant! Loving the Scandinavian pendulum approach to the hairpin and the Monte and 914 mid engine stability! That pirouetting 7 series on steelies is just wonderful Thanks for posting!

[pompei]

Tell you what I want, what I really really want ...

Here's the 1986 vs 2012 Colchester videos

 

 

[RedSparrow]

Top Gear Tatra history:

 

1985 Czech Skoda history:

 

Edit to add this:

How Skodas were tarted up before going on sale in Britain.

[keef]

Always used to be able to play the .flv files with VLC media player.

 

Doesn't seem to work on the Colchester films (for example).

 

What do others use?
