Well done Martin. Yet again, you've captured the spirit of the event and that's not to mention the exemplary commentary, camera work and editing. To my way of thinking, you've scored 17 out of 10. Thanks for all your sterling efforts. Yours, Tommy the Toolbox.
Great film. I used to drive on that beach many years ago - showing off to girlfriends basically. I noticed the sand saps a lot of power. You could never match your vehicle's max road speed on it. Fair play to the hot-rods, they must be developing good power to record those speeds.
Yes, a new video from Martin! Well done 👍 This is a really cool event. The Volvo is a 242GT with the later wheels of a Turbo or GLT on it. Very interesting car!
Thanks Frank! It’s been a while, hope you’re well? I thought it might be some like a 242GT - we didn’t get 242s in the UK, but it’s right-hand drive so there’s a story there somewhere…
Nice follow up video Martin., very well done. I oftwn think its challenging to film events like this in consecutive years without simply reoeating yourself. I still think that rhe ine you filmed last year is lrobably the besr vudeo you have produced to date.
Thanks Mark. Agreed, which is why I wanted to go a bit deeper into the guys’ individual stories. Last year’s film is one of the ones I’m quite proud of, although there’s still huge room for improvement.
I reached 95mph on wet sand in a 1973 Peugeot 504 automatic! It had a Webber carburettor if recall correctly. That was on Ninety mile beach at the top of Newzealand.
@@GrandThriftAuto South Africa crossed my mind to seeing as they got the hot Fords we didn't. Would love to see a review of it, although having been a 240 owner seeing it parked on that nice salty sand was terrifying!
@@cheharrison7107 Very true! I park my BMW up in the regular tarmac car park rather than on the sand - although that’s mostly because the car show area was still under the sea when I arrived 😬
@@benday1218 I’m sure you’re right 😬 I’m calling people brother or sister a lot now (or sibling if they prefer) - I think Liz Truss turned me into a revolutionary socialist, which is quite some achievement.
