 Re: Cool Videos
thought this was comical even if they do make fun of the 2cv http://www.metacafe.com/watch/yt-12TLXF ... and_priks/

 Re: Cool Videos
Excellent! All that reversing without unwinding the gearbox? Must have been on a Gearbox from the Guru!

 Re: Cool Videos
This is rather lovely if you're an enthusiast of old cars in general. There's one 2CV in there somewhere (so I'm not totally off-topic)... but see if you can identify all the cars in real time. No pausing. No rewinding. (I couldn't do it!) Warning: the beauties come thick and fast. Ready? It's the start of the 1958 Monte Carlo Rally from Paris: http://www.britishpathe.com/record.php?id=61966

 Re: Cool Videos
Right. Last one from me from the Pathe site. A lovely feature, in colour, on the 1960 Monte Carlo Rally. Superb shots of old France and old cars, with a charming script and narrative. http://www.britishpathe.com/record.php?id=73364Basically, the site is an absolute goldmine of excellent old short newsreels, from footage of the Battle of Leningrad to action from really old Cup Finals. There's even a reel that features a Bijou ("New French baby car").
