I just binge watched "Shannons - End of an Era" on youtube
Its brilliant really worth watching 4 x 45 minute episodes about the rise glory and demise of Aust auto manufacturing. maybe just watch the first 3 eps The last episode is a bit of a horror movie and left me with a lump in my throat and tears running down my cheeks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5tC7yP9LmAE |

We asked him if the engine had actually been called “Seagull” and how that came about. “Actually it was just call “Gull”, because I named it that. Because we knew it was going to poo on everything”. |
