Hustling a no-sale Merc home and loving it
John keeps me supplied with ‘special’ DVD releases and this time he brought down a box set of Look at Life, the old Rank colour shorts from the late-'50s and early-'60s about well, almost anything really.
In this case the theme was transport: building the new motorways, a great one on police autobahn patrols in West Germany, the scooter craze, the new Hovercraft, and the then-new enthusiasm for restoring, driving and racing funny old cars (wonder what happened to that) with footage of a VSCC event at Silverstone, old boys digging stuff out of scrapyards etc.
Brilliant stuff and I've not got through them all yet so I’m off to watch another.
