He basically wrote the scripts for the 3 TG stooges, so..... funny guy (and much better in person IMO than on the podcasts where he can sound a bit snippy)
Tara Browne, mentioned in the art car section towards the end, who had the painted Cobra, was in fact a chap and also the heir to the Guinness Fortune. He was killed in his Lotus Elan, in London in the 60s and was immortalised in The Beatles tune 'A Day in the life' with the lyric "He blew his mind out in a car..."
Not nearly long enough, I could listen to and watch these two waffle on about cool cars for hours. And I do! They have an excellent podcast, Smith & Sniff. 😊
You two are brilliant together, the knowledge, the storytelling, the goofy British banter the we all love to listen to and, of course, the beautiful autos. Quickly becoming one of my favorite car channels. The Fiat X/19 was my favorite - you never see them in pristine, auto show condition.
My all time favorite Lambo is the Silhouette. I've been obsessed since I was a kid in the 80's. I've never seen this red one before. I know that Curated in Miami sold one a couple years ago. I've never seen the Aston Martin tractor or the prototype BMW before. Great episode. Very cool! Thank you.
My car-mad son and I attended Goodwood this year for the first time. What a fantastic event. We saw this collection and were surprised how small the Countach seemed in the flesh. I guess cars have become a bit bloated over time.
Other way round for me, went with the Oldman we are both car mad, out first time too, we abslolutely loved it. Enjoyed it more than th grand Prix and been too a few
they "bloat"with every new model......bigger and BIGGER....and now (all electric) heavy, heavier and really HEAVY..... Colin Chapman is not a happy Chap......
Guy down the road from me has an XR3i. Back when me and my mates were tooling round in things like that, the Mk3 Escort was a fairly decent sized car... now it is flipping tiny
Wow stunning. Those cloth physics look spot on its actually easy to forgot that your not watching a recording of somebody in real life if you just watch the t shirt especially with the lighting at the end 🫡
Back in late 80's/ early 90"s, I restored a P250S Urraco ; had it resprayed in that gorgeous metallic blue colour. Huge pangs of regret selling it when the going got tough ( financially). Loved seeing on the lawn. Took me back 40 years in time!
Bugatti only made four Atlantics, not Atalantes, those were quite a few more. And those were aluminium-bodied, only the prototype Aérolythe was made of "Elektron", a magnesium and aluminium alloy that could be welded but you have to keep the temperature under control or it will spontaneously combust.
Hi 👋 Greetings from New Zealand. Excellent car display. The Fiat X19 , the Lamborghini Espada , and the Alfa Romeo Montreal are my favorites there. Stunning vechiles. All them from the 1970s when cars were made with style.
Great show again! I had an old Citreon BXGTi, it was on it's last legs. We went to a rave but the road was blocked by the Police, so we backed up, jacked up the suspension and got in using a bridal way! lol :)
Didn't imagine would see so many tractors and that actually so many car companies made them, great video and Goodwood FOS just became my bucket list event for next year it's just amazing 😍😍😍🤩😍
As much as I enjoy watching you guys, you are dead wrong on the 3 spoke wheel thing. The classic SAAB 900 SPG and 9000 Aero three spoke wheels are the bomb. I will agree that no one else has really been able to pull them off though.
Thanks so much for showing the X-19. I went to FOS on Friday and was with a big group and couldn't fit the lawn into our communal schedule, so I was gutted I missed it. I had a 1.5 x-19 rot box in my early twenties and loved it despite all its flaws.
Ford 2000 preforce was part of a beautifully styled range of tractors by Ford...Farmer & racing driver Jim Clark was involved in the global marketing of these tractors also.
Very interesting collection of cars and tractors. I was so lucky to see the Bugatti 57 SC ATlantic Coupe in 2013 at the concours togheter with the Bugatti Royale. The Volkswagen Polo brought back sweet memories. My mum had the same car, in orange and it has been the car in wich I've learned to park at a closed parking beside my parents house before passing for my drivingtest in 1978. The tractors are very interesting, especially the early Lamborghini and the DB but I missed a John Deere.
Maybe it's just me, but I found the most impressive cars to be the Polo, Beech Buggy, and Citroen BX. Bertone never really did it for me personally. And a lot of the wedge cars just looked too much alike. Often times each one looks worse than the next. There are a few exceptions to the wedge style, but again, personally never a style that was a hit for me. I also remember when the Bugatti went up on auction. Everyone was so hyped because it was one of 4. I never seen the draw to it. Rare isn't always great. I know a lot of people love the lines and curves of those cars, but it just was a BIT over the top to me. One thing I do love about cars in general is that not everyone likes the same things. Some people need that over the top, Cruele DeVille styling, others think a 1990 Chevy Caprice is automotive engineering excellence. And although we may not always understand why someone likes something and doesn't, as long as you remember it's just their opinion and not fact, there's no need to get upset.
I feel like the fact that they are on display there means those tractors also cost in the upper six figures at least. (Would be interesting if you could do a video next time finding/showing the cheapest cars on display^^)
That Diesel lettering on the Porsche tractor being out of alignment is really triggering me, thinking it was a deliberate act makes it a bit better but its still haunting my mind minutes later 😑😑
