Hunt and Sheene: When Playboys Ruled the World

Damn.  That's a long video.

I'll have to make time to watch it later tonight.  It looks good.

It's worth it  Just fast forward over the current parts.

 


Gonna check that out later.

Funny, when I saw the post yesterday about the Barry s. DVD I immediately thought about James Hunt and how he had the same kind of flair about him.

It was an hour long TV documentary a few weeks ago over here in the UK...

Too bad they've both passed away.. they don't make guys like those any more...

That was really good.

sheene was a pimp.  chicks, helicoptors, sweet cars, chicks, etc.

Thanks for that!  I'll watch it tonight when I get home.  I was really into F1 in the mid 70s and Hunt was my hero!  Team Hesketh!

Met him once when he came over to the states and ran a few F5000 races (1976?), at Ontario Motor Speedway.  Wearing his signature toe-less driving shoes. Spent about 15 minutes chatting on the pit wall while mechs worked on his car during practice.  Very cool, unassuming, funny guy.

I want to make a traction control joke here but this isn't the type of forum for it. lol

Just watched over my lunch break.  Excellent!  A different time indeed.

Great film. I actually have a wee bit more compassion for Max Mosely after seeing he's human.

I also can't figure out which I want more, Berger's living room, Sheene's widows dining room, or Sheene's widow. 

Enjoyed it. Film makes a really good point. Too bad the world was already ruled by puritanical fake bullshit by the time I was born into it.
