#1 Road Rage in the 60's

A bit off topic, but how many cars can you name in the attached video. And just to confirm road rage is not a modern idea.

What do you think Chumley Warner?

Tony,
Thanks for that - a brilliant film; the commentary is a gem. I only spotted one other Jag (and one Rolls Royce) though where there was not 'unilateral parking' there may be something of interest parked on the off side. Sadly, I think got every car 8) though some of the lorries & buses had me grinning with annoyance :doh: Any more clips like that :inlove:

What fascinated me was the number of Vauxhall Crestas that we saw . I certainly do not remember seeing so many when driving in 1963. And there was a distinct dearth of large Fords . Interesting to see the Isetta also

Harry,

There seems to be lot more items on U Tube, and a lot of items on the E Type. It would be interesting, looking at some of the number plates if anybody now owns the cars.

Christopher,

I seemed to notice a lot of Ford Populars/Anglias. I did not think an advanced driver would encourage using his horn so much. Must have some Italian in him.

I think that rather sadly I got most of them as well. Superb film! Apart from the Isetta and a Renult Dauphine, it looked like all the (hundreds) of cars were British. Times have changed...a lot.
