This is worth a watch, it had a everything I could ask for... Scenery, cows, prices I didn't understand and a Triumph Spitfire.
Fair to say a lot has changed on the roads of #Ireland since this was made.

Something for #WeirdCarMastodon in general but especially for @CrackedWindscreen in a very back to the future way.

Was online circa 1994. Remember trying to watch streams of Bowie recording his 1.Outside album but frustrated by animal,mineral,vegetable compression,poor frame rates & buffering. I thought the Internet would bring the world together. Yeah I know. What a dreamer. Still you gotta have hope. Or is it hoops? I always get those mixed up. #BBCArchive #History #Internet #1995 #UK

I wonder, will it catch on?

Wiki who?! #OnThisDay 1974 Mortimer J. Adler claimed the new 15th edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica will be around for the next 50 years. To be fair, the last printed edition in 2010 was still based on the 1974 release. Interview by Christopher Rainbow."
