4 years old in 1963. My pedal car was always well maintained, with a little drop of 3 in 1 oil. 😂

Its a pre 63 jag as it has flat headlight glass, My dad had a 1963 3.8 Mk2 now as a 73 year old i remember it well. Road rage and aggression seem to be the order of the day nowadays , one doesn't have to look for trouble its out there waiting. Pity we cannot do the same run today for comparison ! you'd probably get mugged !

I have 2010s Adidas Firebird in black, made in Phillipines. It has trefoil logo without word Adidas under it and 3 stripes full length on sleeves and legs. I bought it in size 2XL and it is my go to outfit. I have Pureboost 22 sneakers to pair with it.

Hitting another car also doing 60mph is not a combined speed of 120. It’s like hitting an immovable object at 60, as you both absorb equal impact energ.

During the U.S. muscle car era, from 1966 - 1971, young engineers from the Big 3 would stalk Detroit’s Woodward Ave after dark driving prototypes with manufacturer plates. They were, shall we say, well fortified and happy to contribute to the muscle car folklore of that time.

My dad had a MK II, 3.8 liter I believe, and my favorite 10-year-old place to be was in its passenger seat. He drove at a sporting pace on the near-empty back roads of rural Ontario, but would slow right down as we got close to town. As my dad cautioned me despite my early age, when in town at any moment a little kid could dart out between parked cars. The horrifying prospect of that happening has stayed with me through the years, leaving me not paranoid but on the alert for the unexpected.

We had fun with the petrol attendant around this time 69 /70 / . My father owned a Ford Corsair and the petrol cap was hidden behind the rear registration plate ,which was on a spring and had to be pulled down and held down while the cap was taken off ,otherwise it would spring back up . Awkward when holding the fuel nozzle at the same time . We would play the game of how long will it take the attendant to find out where to put the nozzle and would laugh at the perplexed attendant saying "You've got no filler cap ! Where is it ? " ! Didn't last long though , when we realised the attendant usually got quite stroppy at a bunch of kids sniggering at him /her from inside a car ! Dad told us to stop !

Firstly thank you for sharing this wonderful and historic film. We wonder how you came across it? Is there any backstory about it please ? We suggest the filming may have occurred in September 1947.

Hi, I fear there is little to say. I buy large collections of old film every so often and go through them for anything interesting. This came from a live auction in the South of England a couple of months ago...with little to suggest it was from a single collection that could be identified. Indeed, it looks like this was published by Walton films, which may mean many copies were released at the time but may not have sold well, and hence we have little footage surviving today. I am sure you are right about the date, which I will change when I get a chance. I also assume you are connected with the descendant of this miniature railway today, and of this is so, thank you for your work in preserving our past.

I guess car ownership and overall population was much lower so roads were quieter, I'll give you that. I'm not sure everyone would feel life was better though, say if you were black, homosexual or a woman with ambitions to do anything more with your life than marry and produce children.
