G'day
Being one of those wankers who get to drive all sorts of great motorcars I
can sympathise with getting into a strange vehicle and trying to drive it
correctly. I must admit that I do have some problems with crash boxes in the
RR Silver Ghost, Bugatti and Invicta that I have driven recently.
Having admitted that, I do appreciate that the technology and metal in such
cars is getting on in years and they should be driven with appropriate
empathy for both the car and audience.
Personally I think the driver should have familiarised himself with the car
a little before his drive was videoed.

That's a bit harsh. It's a photoshoot, not a race and the driver is a bit of
an idiot, but we know Healeys he's probably never driven one before let
alone campaigned one...and it is great to see the Macklin car back on the
road.
