The Most Boring Video ever made
November 4, 2007
Driving today is not a very exciting occupation. When I first had a car (and bikes) there was no speedlimit, no crash helmet, passing your test was a simple thing, no annual roadworthy tests, (very often no brakes), no breathalysers (just walk in a straight line). Cars were dangerous, smelly, polluting and slow - the slow bit made them sort of safer, but driving was interesting, no motorways, road tolls or speed cameras.
Because old cars had no safety checks, things often fell off, wings, doors, wheels, I even had a steering wheel come off in heavy traffic once. Today driving is faster (which makes it just as dangerous) and we have invented road rage. But driving is overall boring.
One small highlight in my driving life is seeing the distance indicator ( I think it is called an odeometer) change to an interesting number - OK perhaps my life is getting a bit boring - so this week in our Renault Clio was a big occasion for me, here is the video…

My sisters got a more boring one than that, it’s about a shopping precinct in aussie that I didn’t build as the one she wanted to show me(which I did build, not on me own tho, I was foreman;and bloody working like fourmen, ) was knocked down and replaced by the one I nearly saw on the most boring out of focus shaky, “oops sorry about that Harry (her husband )just tripped up the conveyer stairs” (shot of feet and stair treads moving),video in the whole wide world!
Actually, it doesn’t sound half as bad as it is , when written down, I suppose it depends on who is writing , luv; RAY {but I simply luvved yourn!!}

I enjoyed the video Tony, I wish You Tube had been invented when we took our BSA Bantam to the South of France in 1963, that would have been a very interesting video. (your mention of no brakes and bits falling off reminded me of it).
