Car Documentaries / Videos

[militantmandy]

I'm bored and I need something to watch so I thought I'd see if we could share a few of our favourite car documentaries / short videos and hopefully a few will crop up that some haven't seen. A link should be provided if it exists on youtube or whatnot. If not, I'm sure we can find alternative sources for ourselves.

So:

Cheesy National Geographic doc on the Boogatti Veyron:

Madness on Wheels - Rallying's Craziest Years - cannot find a link but I'll keep looking. Pops up on iplayer periodically.

McLaren documentary:

Try and track down a BBC series from about 20 years ago called The Power and the Glory, I remember it being very good and I have the VHS of it, but haven't seen it in years now.

Must get around to converting it to disc

Never seen the Porsche Victory by Design episode, all the others seem to have been on countless times, but not that one.

I've not seen any of them before. The Ferrari one is epic. Utterly amazing collection of cars being driven with balls of steel given what they must be worth.

I haven't got time to watch it all, but that could be the collection of the late Pierre Bardinon (he died recently), and the track is his own, called something like Mas du Clos, in the grounds of his chateau in the south of france.

Sounds like a rather pleasant way to while away your time.
