i wanted to do that so much love the music mr munro but a drive a leyland daf B reg van and live in west london ,so not a good idea at all i guess ,as i broke down on the m4 near heathrow
if you have not seen the movie Super Speedway then you should buy or rent it there is a seen at the end where Mario Andretti is driving an old Formula car that he restored, can't seem to find it on youtube though :(
You drove that road in an Alfa and didn't record the engine or exhaust note? A couple of throaty revs now and again would have been great. Nice bid though.
A coincidence: I just bought a 156 and already have a Matt Monro driving video on YouTube. I may have to take my Alfa to Italy now, and do it properly... They've got sunshine there, and everything :)
I ve seen your video and it was the vid that gave me the idea for this. I have a Jag now so will be going to Europe somewhere this year and may just make another
Great vid! Love the idea! As has been said though, some of the engine note underneath would have helped, and a rainy day in britain isn't quite the same lol! Also, if you could include a view of the steering wheel as well as in the film? Oh dear, I sound all mean now! Great vid, 4/5.
I first heard this song from a dvd about the Anddretti's (race car driver). It is a song that defines the back of my mind sometimes. I do wonder what some ex's are doing and if they ever think of us. Hopefully good thoughts. Thank you for a beautiful song.
My route to work on the port side of Heysham a brilliant road for pushing the limits.. do it again on a bright sunny day and youll hit the million viewers amrk.
Beautiful video, Beautiful song by in my humble opinion, Matt Munro... The greatest voice out of europe for the past 50 years. Good Job on the video, and your choice of background music.
Well done Christopher. A really nice song and video. Thank you.

Looks like Baildon Moor near Bradford - always wet and miserable.
I have just bought a new BMW 3 series convertible (the one with a metal roof) and are already planning a driving trip though Europe next summer.

Vey cool idea. But to compare the Italian Alps to Lancashire is like comparing caviar to fish paste.
How much are you guys being raped for petrol now? I hear it is almost 5 pounds (10 dollars) a gallon, seriously, that's nuts !!!
