Short notice I know, but I can recommend this film on at 9 o'clock this evening. It is about the Rolls Royce in India from about 1900 up to 1920s and if you want to know what a steampunk car should look like, this puts a very interesting cultural slant on it. Many of the cars were adapted to big game hunting and others used for state occassions. I recorded it to DVD last time it was on, but will still watch it tonight!

Ah, yes, back when only the Viceroy was allowed to have a car at Simla.

Thanks for the heads up.

That was an excellent, enjoyable programme.   Now where can I get a Rolls Royce for a handful of beans?

I really enjoyed that doc.There were some incredibly beautiful Rollers there. Some of the customised jobs were amazing.
