This clip has been around the block— we have seen it in a bunch of different places, but hadn’t dug into it until now. Should’ve done so sooner, because this is epic stuff. If the half-hour running time scares you, jump to 18:22 for the ending (although the whole thing is in fact worth watching).
Fantastic.

Can’t see the video at work but love the BRE 510 shots with Jon Morton. My dad got to have breakfast with him and Pete Brock recently 🙂

What a classic the DATSUN is. I remembered when my Dad owened one. We use to go on family outings
