I love this documentary. It's so incredibly well put together and superbly narrated, cleverly covering pretty much everything there is to cover about driving in day to day life. Thanks for posting, I originally saw it on ITV years ago so it's nice to see it on here. Hopefully, ITV won't remove it and replace it with nothing, then complain about how much piracy is ruining the industry.

@leatwix , If they'd make it available on DVD I'd buy it

Try properly synching the sound with the video, it works wonders! :)

[roachqueen32]

It was originally on a VHS, and I don't have any video editing tools.

Thanks much for uploading this!

I read about it under Rowan's Wikipedia entry, and am quite pleased to find it. Was surprised to find him ashamed of his car fetish, but I spose it makes sense given his retiring nature.

Really enjoyed it, thanks for the upload. As one poster said, great insight on how we are !

If he was not a comedian, he could be a car designer. I guess...

Yeah, fantastic guy. Drive at top speed on public roads, don't give a toss who's around to get hurt but hey, he knows how to drive a supercar.

I love Rowan, always had a lot of time for him. But he appears to be a bit of a prat where cars are concerned. And you sound the same, without the charisma.

04.08.11 rowan has crashed his mClaren f1 car on a wednesday. He's ok and out of hospital. I now have a true person to respect in the car industry. A person who doesn't drive their car at 3 tenths of its capability. I don'y like these owners who only take theit cars to shows and keep in storage A high mileage McLaren f1 owner. What a hero.I only hope he doesn't sell the car, its a right off, and needs alot of money and time spent to return it to the road. A good man.

@roachqueen32 you don't need editing tools, you just need to record it again with proper equipment and software, also youtube back in the day had a nasty habit of de-synchronizing the sound, so maybe just re-uploading will help, unless you know for a fact that the source video is de-sync'd

@ErikMartijn It was all a myth. The earth NATURALLY goes on cooling and heating cycles, it has the power to regenerate itself, it's silly to think we will kill the planet.
