The Red Elan 1600 just after the opening monologue is mine (26/0538) - video taken about 5 years ago by the local cable provider for Vancouver Island viewer programming.

Maybe I should send them a bill.

Spotted you Bill!

I have to say I enjoyed it :-) Not for anoraks, but perfect for youngsters with a 15 minute attention span!

...and I'm like "Duuuuude! Your hat's on back to front!

It's like much of YouTube content. The "YouTuber" thinks he / she has to speak in an exaggerated way to maintain your interest.

On the other hand, try this pointless bit of drivel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ROmQfJUVmmo

It's part of an inexplicable "eating online" craze. Shudder. So you see, it could be worse. Much worse.

I liked it....There was some stuff that I didn't know and I thought that I pretty much knew the Lotus story.

And me, dreadful presentation...no idea about the 'facts' - I gave up after a few minutes as the enamel was coming off my teeth.

Dreadful.
