Weekend Watches - 18 October 2024
Sorry for the quiet week on The Redline, I've been moving house and wouldn't you know it, there's not a lot of time for website-ing!
This weekend we have some of the real good stuff. A car almost too wacky to be an Alfa, an American perspective on the original Mini, a young bloke doing silly things in the wrong car and a funny old British wagon.
Number 27 is not always a channel I watch but sometimes something irresistible pops up in the feed. The Alfa SZ is the kind of car that only the Past Times could have produced. Completely wacky looking, super-sounding and one of my favourite cars of all time that I know I'll never drive.
This one took a while to appear in the feed, a great video about the original Mini. It's from a North American perspective which makes the video all the more interesting to me because I think it's interesting to get these different views of cars.
This is a really long one. Basically, it's the story of a boy and his drift car traversing the Continental United States. Nate Z Great is an interesting chap to say the least and I of course think drifting on public roads is completely bonkers, but it's just one of those videos that breaks through my reservations. And it's a long one, too.
Idriveaclassic's Steph tells about a now-obscure little wagon (sorry, estate), the Hillman Avenger Estate. I love the way Steph goes about her business and this video is as charming as you might expect.
And that's Weekend Watches for the week. Normal service just might resume next week with what I think will be a magnificently angry column about a recent vehicle launch.
