Moore Esprit
Roger Moore was either the second or third best 007 depending on who you talk to, some think he was the all-time best but those people are idiots.
Films
Waiting Out Winter
This short film by Andrew David Watson sums up rather perfectly how many of us feel during the colder months, Andrew’s film work is always mesmerising and tends to stay with you for a while after watching.
The ‘Out of Africa’ De Havilland Gipsy Moth
It isn’t everyday that the chance to buy something as iconic as the De Havilland Gipsy Moth from the film ‘Out of Africa’ comes along, she’s heading to the auction block on the 7th of February 2013 and rather remarkably, is still fit to fly.
The Girl on a Motorcycle
This photograph is from the film “The Girl on a Motorcycle”, a 1968 British-French film starring Alain Delon and Marianne Faithfull.
1965 Monaco Grand Prix
The 1965 Monaco Grand Prix was only the second race of the season, the famous street circuit turned out a classic battle and this is the full BBC coverage of the event.
1984 Monaco Formula 1 Grand Prix – Full Race
This is the full length 1984 Monaco Formula 1 Grand Prix, it features legendary drivers like Alain Prost, Nigel Mansell, René Arnoux, Niki Lauda, Nelson Piquet, Keke Rosberg, Ayrton Senna and Martin Brundle. It was one of the most controversial races of the 1980s due to the wet conditions and an early stoppage that favoured one driver over another who was right on his pipes when the race was red flagged.
King Kenny
When people talk about “The King” in the world of motorcycle racing, they aren’t talking about a hamburger loving crooner with a penchant for shiny suits, they’re talking about this man. King Kenny Roberts.
Bill “Grumpy” Jenkins
Bill “Grumpy” Jenkins is a legend in the US drag racing scene, he did all his own engineering and liked to drive with a lit cigar in his mouth.
Angels From Hell
Angels From Hell is an entertaining film about a former motorcycle gang leader who returns home from the Vietnam War and sets about creating a new gang.
1957 Daytona Beach Race
The 1957 Daytona Beach Race was one of the truly classic early NASCAR events, the cars had to be showroom stock with only some minor safety additions. I think this sort of racing series would be incredible to see nowadays, totally stock sedans racing on circuits around the world would draw a lot of attention. Hell, I’d watch it.
Iron & Resin Hooligan Derby
The Iron And Resin Hooligan Derby is a race series that took part at the Ventura Raceway in California in April, May, June, September and November 2012. This video is a highlights reel of sorts, I just watched it twice and now I’m dying to go race with the guys next season.
Top Gear Hill Climb Challenge
Top Gear is the most watched factual television show in history and I’m not aware of the existence of a man anywhere in the world who doesn’t like the show. Or love it deeply.
