1985 I got a job as a press fleet driver for BMW at Bracknell. For 2 years I had a different new BMW every few weeks, and drive them all over the uk for photshoots. Watching this time capsule brings those days back perfectly. The mid to late eighties were such fun times! From Live Aid to 1990!

Its sad to think that more than likely every last one of these vehicles no longer exist.

As a local, is interesting to see the row of Victorian terraced houses on the corner of EC road and Cromwell road. Obviously now gone and replaced with a modern apartments building.

Brings back memories of heavy traffic in the city centre and the metallic taste of traffic fumes when road traffic was the future.

Great times and great cars back then, now days its all these boring cars with same colours most of them, and too many bmws and mercs but they aren't the ones from those days its all new garbage of todays low qulity and high price tags, also roads have changed alot, more pay parking, more cameras and speed cameras, more traffic, and yellow lines, one ways roads, and wide bike lanes everywhere, and inpatient drivers who just want to over take you here and there, also driving is boring in todays day compare to back then because you had more freedom and better cars to enjoy in.

I lived not far from there (Back then). Happy days.

So many classic cars.

didnt we have a lovely time...at least town traffick seemed faster back then ...great vehicles/colours too

Its amazing how many of the cars you see in the vid are now modern classics going up in value. Back in days of mainly fords and vauxhalls with no ugly SUVs about

Really appreciate this footage, especially as bus driver who often goes along that route. Traffic in 2023 hasn’t changed that much, still as crazy as ever.
