1980s Traffic | Earls Court Road| Cromwell Road | London Roads | TN-SL-146-011 

Cars were OK back then - I worked at a car dealers at the time - but they weren't that good . Cars today are a lot more bland to drive but also much safer , reliable , economical and comfortable . Favourite car I've ever owned was an 80s 205 Gti , weighed nothing and very fast but went very rusty .

@@andynixon2820 yeh but I don't think saftey of new cars and those ugly new deshins that are coming up these days can take over order cars, but If I want a safe and relible car I bound get 2001 02 lexus is200 which is pretty safe, also these days people relying on technology more then their own brains to be honest, so many drivers these days don't even look were they going they drive like idots and own a expensive new car they don't deserve to even ride a hourse let alone car, I've seen people realy on sensors and all the crap, that they forget to turn on their headlights when it's dark they'll wait for a sensor to detect the dark and will turn on rather turn a single switch to make them on and you safe as well.

They ruined our London with all this gentrification BS London has become ugly place and I for one was glad we moved away from Central London back then. I will always remember London as per this video.

@@andynixon2820 Yep, that was the biggest problem with old cars (70s,80s,90s) is they rust so badly

Why is it that in Britain and to a larger extent in a lot of European countries not keep older cars like they do over here in America? (not Germany of course they're practically married to their cars)

The lead didn't smell. But the exhaust sure did

Car engines back then were noisy compared to today's engines

Now all you hear is the tires

@@spidyman8853 yep

Nissan laurel 6

Yes it does. But this was more than 30 years ago so that means we're getting old . Oh bugger .

@@andynixon2820 yes 👍

1987

The UK and Europe needed to have cars that could go around corners, and didn't need parking lots the size of Belgium to park them. And fuel consumption better than 10 mpg was, strangely, favoured as well for some reason

Poorly designed streets and intersections too , thus making things more unpleasant for drivers and pedestrians both .

These streets were built 200 or 300 years before cars were invented you moppet😂

I think that both sides of the Atlantic had great cars during the the '80s and largely in the '90s
