Most of the cars shown, would be priceless classics now.... so many great cars of the early 60's

The narrator and actor is Robert Raglan who played the Colonel in Dad's Army

At 57 seconds the car forcing the red Mini to reverse is a WARTBURG! Blimey, they were a rare beast indeed!

4:14 Yeah - that side light going out will certainly cause issues, because oncoming drivers will never see the perfectly illuminated, much brighter and larger headlight right above.

Except the facts are that there are far more shit drivers driving non Audi, Mercedes, and BMWs simply because there are far more other kinds of cars. But it's always fun to be jealous of those who appear to have more wherewithal.

My driving instructor was driving tanks in the desert in 1943 against General Rommel. After the war he was a tank instructor then a driving instructor. On my first driving lesson in 1979 he told me, all you have to remember is that everybody else on the road is a complete c**t. Judging by the useless drivers around now driving up your arse, he was spot on!

The copper keeps dropping down to first gear whilst moving. First gear is for moving off from a standstill. Second gear is lowest gear to use while still moving.
