I remember it well as I know most of the people in the film, and the camera crew were saying they were there to show the other side of the car scene, the social aspects, the good bits, people helping each other out etc.
Then (imho predicatably) after gathering probably a couple of hundred hours of footage, they used the worst bits and called the film drivers from hell. LOL
Still, its nice to see the Mile again from "back in the day"
