Was a great show, though I personally think it wasnt as in depth as it should have been. In a 1 hr episode they went from the 50s to the 80s and sketched over a few famous names.

I would have loved to have seen more in depth, especially on Gerry Marshall in the droopsnoot Firenza, the Broadspeed Capris and a little more on Jim Clark!!

Should have left the latter of this episode to the next one. And purely the next episode based on the 80s!!
