Two narrowboats crash as we explore the Coventry Canal on what should have been a quiet cruise along the Coventry Arm from Coventry Basin to Hawkesbury Junction and Sutton Stop. A speeding canal narrow boat loses control on a blind corner and smashes into our narrowboat home.
Colin uncovers the history of the Damiler factory, Electric Wharf's powerful past, Cash's one-hundred houses, and what it's like to have a Coventry Climax! We also find out why Lady Godiva rode naked through the streets of Coventry and why most of the buildings are less than 80 years old.

I envy you the daily change of scenery when on a narrowboat. After the collision with that hire narrowboat, Otis kept his wits about him, noticed the humans weren't watching, and headed for the treats! Clever puppy. Thanks again for all the incredibly interesting historical tidbits. These are easily the best vlogs on RU-vid.

I realized tonight that this is one of the best produced channels on RU-vid. It's consistently quality video and sound, the music and cuts just work. Even when a hire boat is speeding around a corner, giving you a punt. PS: Knew I forgot something. In the early 50's, Coventry Climax got a contract to build a lightweight engine for fire pumps, which also turned out to be a pretty good little motor for racing cars. John Cooper adapted a 1.5 liter Climax in an F2 car, which eventually became a 2.5 liter F1 engine, winning the world championship two times in a row for Jack Brabham. In 1961, the rules were changed to 1.5 liter F1 engines, and suddenly there was a boom with British racing cars like Cooper, Lotus and Lola being powered by Climax's little powerhouses. But by the mid-sixties, Coventry Climax's management decided the cost of making engines for racing was too much. The company was purchased by Jaguar, eventually merged into British Leyland, going through a series of owners before disappearing in the early nineties. And one more thing: If you ever get a chance to look at a Coventry Climax racing engine, you'll notice a medallion on the camshaft cover. Yes, it's Lady Godiva herself, on her horse. And now I've told you far more than you ever wanted to know about an engine with a funny name

Thanks so much, Arthur. Just noticed the medallion too. Well spotted 👍🏻

The late unlamented Hillman Imp had a Coventry Climax engine which I believe was based on the fire pump model. They were the most unreliable car I've ever owned but at least they were easy to repair and every scrap yard had lots of spares.

I have been to Bovington Tank Musuem. Was on a Shearings hol in Bournemouth. I wanted to get myself to Monkey World and a chap wanted that tank musuem. As they were just over the road from each other we both went to investigate. The chap came to Monkey World and in the afternoon I went with him to Bovington Tank Musuem. Was dreading that. Wow I really enjoyed it. We were so lucky. They told us a Tiger 131 was comming out the building on route to their MOT bit. Gosh it was fantastic to see it get moving. Their was only 5 of us to watch learnt a hell of a lot. A brill afternoon spent in there.

I'm a real sucker for canal history so I really enjoyed that one. Colin, you've always been quite nifty on the camera but I've noticed a real improvement especially in experimental things. Really super viewing.

Hi Guy's and Otis. Another great vlog, Nice piece of history told very professionally. So sorry Silver Fox got rammed, the guy obviously had never done Canal boating before as he was going to fast and was to near the middle and didn't take any evasive action before he walloped Silver Fox. Glad you where able to paint over the wound.. You Guys take care of yourselves and Otis. Very Best Wishes Old Skipper :) xx

Parallel experiences: I showed a Coventry lady the basin she had never seen before and we enjoyed the cafe there. And I also explained to visitors in the town centre what the peeping Tom story was. The centre is much polished up as Coventry is celebrating its history at the moment and has never looked so smart. Thanks for adding to its higher profile.

That was quite a speed that hire boat was going - and quite a bang! JD was born and bred in Coventry so we know it very well. We were visiting once when they found an unexploded bomb right by a Sainsbury market - and my MIL was actually IN the city the night of the big raid.
