all this talk about H&S making things "better" -do you think that this would be allowed to happen today?

My 18 months ownership of a Vitesse gives a nod of respect to the drivers here LOL

Wow,

Pretty cool, felt quite nostagic (spelling) the crank looks really well thought out even for then, first thing I noticed was when they were pouring the steel, no gloves, no aprons, no safety goggles....lets not even get into the fumes....

The sand casting of the wheels inpressed me,, did a little when I was younger, alumium alloy mostly, but when they simply flipped the molds and the sand stayed put? Thats craftmanship. Silaca sand with a bit of oil, just the right amount, and smack the frick out of it.

The police clip, very impressive, even then to be able to shut down the city in places at short notice and cut the corners...wrong way round roundabouts etc, very well thought out.

Like the comment at the start with regard to the fact that they had just had some friday lunch time refreshments...back in the 80's that meant a couple of pints lol?? Reminds me of the Eaton days back in Manchester no ?

The fact the motor bike shat its self says it all, suspect it was a hot day in London that day...hence the extra thermos.

She must have been the wife of some dignantary / diplomat to pull the stops out like that ??

Heres my favourite vids from the eighties,

..its a matter of style... Mile after mile??



Engine note?? love it ? V FRICKIN 10 ?

And you cant beat the sound of a Lambo in the morning to make you day ?

H&S has gone crazy, ok there are good things from it. But i think the main reason H&S has gone this way isnt all to do with saving lives its down to money! Blame Clame culture!
