Nostalgia Aint What It Used To Be
« on: March 08, 2004, 10:36:54 pm »
Just watched this video of the '69 race  -  absolutely magic.

-  proper Le Mans start
-  no pit lane wall
-  proper Dunlop curve
-  proper esses
-  proper Mulsanne straight
-  proper Mulsanne corner

I was there that year, but, relying on a 5 min English broadcast every hour on the tannoy, was not quite aware of the actual drama going on on the track.  For info, the GT40 and Porsche 908 were swapping the lead 3-4 times per lap for the last two hours of the race, the GT40 winning by a couple of seconds.

Also of note was the lack of beer mountains and HT Girls - although there are a few shots of nubile things with very pointed mammaries (obviously the fashion in '69 - they don't make 'em like that these days).  Also, the lack of beer mountains does not signify the lack of alcohol intake.

As the title of this post says:  'Nostalgia............'

NB:  First time I ever tried to attach a picture, so apols in advance if it does not work.

Yippee - the attachment seemed to work.  There will be no stopping me now, especially as I'll soon become a 'member' of the junior variety! ;D ;D

Yes, this was a magazine freebee - a very interesting video.

I have a copy if anyone wants to borrow it.

Originally sold as "La Ronde Infernale" (The Infernal Roundabout, or something like that!).

Not forgetting to mention the corking incidental music therein!

Should be watched at least once a day.

I totally agree with Rick.  Got it for my birthday in Feb and have watched it about 20 times.  Looks to me that everything was spiffing in those days!

Hi Steve,

I would be interested in borrowing said video and will pay p&p or beer for the privelige.

Just out if interest is the recording copy protected? If not I have a cunning plan to copy it on to DVD.

Pretzel, there shouldn't be any copy protection on it as it's on video.
I can copy it to a PC hard drive and produce a DVD if required.

PM me your address and I'll drop it in the post.

Steve,

I have had some difficulties copying some videos due to some form of encryption so I guess not all videos are the same. Let's hope this isn't one of them.

PM on it's way in anticipation anyway......

Yes please Steve - I would like a DVD copy also.  I was going to ask out there if anyone had the facilities.  How do you get it from VHS to hard disk?  I am currently getting rid of all tapes (audio & video) and am looking to get a dvd burner on the PC.  Need also to take output from Sky+ digibox onto dvd.

I'll pm you my address and will pay you in hard currency or liquid refreshment on MB in June - your call.

Debbie Does Dallas  :P

Ooh Debbie Does Dallas!! Haven't seen that for about 20 years (but isn't if funny how indelibly etched some of those scenes are in the old memory banks??!!).

Debbie Does Dallas II was even better coz she discovered the joys of playing for the opposition too!

Don't think I've ever seen No.2 Rick. Have you got a copy??  ;)

We'll have a TV/Video with us on MB this year (only small) but I think someone is taking a big TV (Robbo??)  ;D

Could always bring a laptop and projector if you have it on DVD and project it onto the side wall of a gazebo!!!
