Old school, kinda long but lots of cool cars.

Really cool. I enjoy seeing how our Dads did this before we came along.

If you look at 6:17, you will see GW's dad's hauler. Evidently his dad's first name started with a V

Very funny Heep.....

It was kool to actually see something like that though! Shows we haven't invented anything - just keep refining!

Did ya love the discussion about the big Porsche power?? 126 HP at 8000 RPM's.... HAHAHAHAHAHA Wow -- it must have all been about momentum because it certainly didn't have any torque!!

Sorry GW, just couldn't resist. You take all the kidding well.

I had never seen one of those before. I have seen the bug with the fifth wheel attached to the top. I know it has been posted before.

Yes, the horse power numbers and the C.I. numbers were amazing to see how small they were. My, how far we have advanced.

I also loved the roll bar on the one that looked like it was attached to the trailer hitch.

How would you like it if the narrator was in your head like he was telling the driver how to drive? At least he had him spotting for him.
