............ advert. Ever!

1973



No doubt helped along by the marvelous Two Ronnies take off by Ronnie Barker in 1978



Fantastic stuff and I still miss him to-day.

Comic genius.

directed by Ridley Scott dont you know........before he went on to do Alien, gladiator, Blade Runner and all those other class movies


did you know the hill isnt in yorkshire, down south somewhere as i remember

Yes, it's actually 'Gold Hill' in Shaftsbury, Dorset.

Could the Hillman get up Al?

Or could it stop on the way down if it did? lol

Weather was probably too bad to shoot it in Yorkshire

Shay, Sissy is going both ways over Hartside Pass on Sunday.

I wish I could post the real MX-5 to you Al.

I'd drive up and down there all day until I ran out of petrol!

Heh! Heh!! I'll be taking the Phoenix up and own there when it's on the road bonnie lad.

Just found this Shay. It's part of the original Hartside Pass as it would have been in 1935.



Sissy, would traverse it, but would your MX5?? LOL

Probably not, but I'd have great craic getting stuck waiting for you to pull me out!

I wonder what that pic was taken from, looks like a forward control Land Rover.

An MX-5 Gary, you can see the open headlight pod

Hard to say Gary, but I'd say it was a left hooker judging by the wipers and the amount of space to the right of the steering wheel.

Here is another original section.
