I made this film back in 1994 in one of my first attempts at making a documentary.
I interview drivers of vehicles of increasing sizes, starting with a bike, ending on a steam train.
It was shot on 8mm video, on a Canovison A10 - one of the ugliest cameras every made (see global.canon/en/c-museum/prod.... It was then transferred to Umatic for editing, then to VHS. Then to DVD and final from DVD to KZfaq. It’s amazing you can see any picture at all.
The bicycle was filmed on the streets of West Bromwich.
The golf buggy was filmed at the Belfry Golf Centre in Sutton Coldfield, in the West Midlands of England.

The Ford Fiesta car was filmed on the roads surrounding Gnosall in Staffordshire.
The tractor was filmed at Ballards Farm in Worcestershire.
The lorry was filmed on the M6 motorway in the Midlands of England.
The steam locomotive was filmed at the Foxfield Railway at Blythe Bridge, Stoke-on-Trent
