Glad you found interest in the vid, I thought it pretty spectacular, the fantastic start sequence, the drift and passing the flint wall...Wonderful.
The first time I clapped eyes on a type 35 was many years ago at Ingliston, the owner was happy to lift the bonnet.... Can there ever be anything as amazing for a mechanically appreciative young man than to see such a engineering masterpiece for the first time...?
However I tripped over the next you Bugatti vid from the one I posted and which coincidentally was captured by the chap who created the great Morgan Plus 4 vid which Heinz posted recently, though this time driving a Pur Sang Type 35. and while the car is quite wonderful the vid was disappointing and did not capture anything like that which I imagined would be the excitement level of being on board such a wonderful machine...!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1SbnR3aBtMI thought the presenters Morgan vid was far superior, though consider if you will that the road through the canyon with the sound of the Morgans exhaust perhaps reflecting off the canyon walls, and of course that it was a far more suitable stretch of twisting Tarmac than more usual US traffic situations experienced in the Pur Sang perhaps gave the Morgan the advantage..?
But in truth even the view out across the bonnet seemed just a tad lacking, other than those wonderful wheels and brake mechanism, though when I look at my own miserable attempt at capturing my local roads in my Morgan, let alone these of Brian AKA Mossy, has pleasured us with, to date.. The view while seated in the Morgan is pound for pound potentially a far better investment, on a simple cost benefit analysis...?
Yeah, sure there is no way one can begin to compare the engineering excellence that is a Bugatti or Pur Sang recreation of one to that of the MMC`s output, though the sound of the engine and exhaust is for me very much part of the desired package of buying into the idea of sampling a degree of a vintage driving experience.... and on the basis of that Bugatti vid, Morgan wins...? (-:
Along similar lines.... For me there is no more emotive sound than that of a Spitfire flying low overhead, and one that has been instantly recognisable for some of us, though a recent post here recorded from within a Spitfire while flying along the White Cliffs of Dover was likewise a bit of a let down for me..hmm!!!
All of which adds to my sense of frustration to get out and have third attempt at recording the sound of my Mog on local roads minus the wind noise.... Grrr..!
