I just stumbled on this. Fantastic. One of my heroes. Alan Bloom. What a legend!!

Brilliant! A labour of love. Liked the lady at the end with an ice cream, too.

Amazing how, with advancing years, it's possible to appreciate machines that are over a hundred years old and are still going strong and look great......best not to mention the carbon footprint !

[@callumhardy5098]

Stuart Price Carbon footprint is not much as most of the pollution comes down in large particulates, therefore it is nowhere near as harmful to the human body as the micro-particles which are released by modern vehicles.

Sadly, Alan Bloom died in 2005. He was 98.
