love it, something hypnotic about it

 

[poptop2]

What a pompous old fart :roll:

Excuse my ignorance, but what did he mean by double clutch?

 

[Tony73tt]

Depress clutch and change to neutral and then clutch again to required gear. Sounds stupid but doing it in a quick time motion and it goes lovely. Just that was meant to make gear change smoother when we had no syncro mesh.

It would be interesting to see the same roads these days and do a split screen comparison.... :shock:

 

[middi]

got to love the guy in the red car cuts him up twice

 

[aspro]

10 minutes of listening to that pompous old fart and not 1 VW

 

[poptop2]

There are four in the video - all beetles , see if you can spot em :?:

 

[beef]

I wonder if the red car was the other camera car, and he cut him up for a bit of excitement.

stopped the white one @ 9.33 :lol: :lol:

A good find.
I enjoyed car spotting and it brought back many memories from childhood.
As one of the comments pointed out, nearly every car was British, imported cars were a rarity back then.
A strong home market was good for the industry which , at the time, was a significant exporter.
Thanks for posting.

That would be taken as an act of aggression by most drivers now days,when really the driver is only reminding the car in front of his presence. yes.....how times have changed!
