      Morning Bill, thank you for that. Sometimes these videos are not the easiest to do, braving the rust, sun, wind, rain , wildlife, travelling ect. It can at times also be difficult to line up filming with the cameraman as he is a lot busier than me. If I could make more videos, I would but there are a few constraints so I really do them as and when I can. Bruce

    🤣🤣🤣 the old burly Bedfords, Austins & BMCs great fun to drive. At various times back in the 60s & 70s ( as kids) we used to use them to take harvest grain to the silos. The old Austins were crash boxes, but a joy to drive. It was this experience where I learned that a clutch was only used for starting roll, after that rev matching.
    Later got my Army HV license and I freaked the instructor out when we jumped in an old crash box Stud and never crunched the gears, they were still in service (sort of) back then being petrol fuelled, alternate fuelling just in case and had to driven every 12 months.
