There's a lot of crap on there but several interesting gems. The valet parking tales are worth a watch along with the story of buying a Lambo off a prostitute.

Gordon Murray has had a roadgoing Mk1 Escort built to his own spec for his own use.

There are loads of episodes, 16 I think.  Am on episode 2 so far.

A little bit of Australian chod from the mid 70's.

For those unfamiliar with Chrysler Australia, "Hey Charger" was a popular advertising slogan from the Charger tv adverts of the early 70's.

Of course Harry has got his own truck for car transport! Oh, and he delivers a Countach while picking up his Espada. It's just very grown up autoshite, really.

One or two greats there both cars & drivers, the mini AJB 33 ,pat Moss/carlson, if memory serves that's Roger Clark in the P6 rover.

From the days of real drivers driving anytime or thing & not bitching about being "first on the stage/ road sweeping" so other competitors got a better surface/ set better times.

You want it easy under wheel be a racing driver on a billiard table track.

I like the bit when the guy goes into the dealer with his massive v8 buick station wago. He looks at  a Mazda with what looks like a wankel  engine on it, which the dealer said should return 19mpg.

Out of the frying pan.

Bet there were a few pissed off "supercar owners " there that day, if you wanna see a fast modded road car type psidup in on YouTube the Aussies know how to build some.
