Rolls around India - Nick Salmon - 03-01-2024
Apologies that this is not A7-related but I must commend to you a very watchable film which I came across on Netflix last night. (It is also on Amazon Prime)
' Romantic Road' is a docufilm about an extraordinary journey made around India and Bangladesh in 2013 by an English couple in a 1936 Rolls Royce. 'Eccentric toffs' would not be an unkind description of the pair but that becomes part of their undoubted charm.
Having seen the driving conditions they coped with I would have no wish to take a Seven and attempt to repeat their feat!

I'll be in India for a couple of months from this weekend. I'm not taking my Austin though

Many thanks for sharing Nick, I for one am most interested.
There's a trailer here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1io0pI17hjQ
...and if I can find a copy of the film which isn't on Netflix I shall add details here...
(edit: no - but it's available on DVD https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/385630935657?chn=ps&_ul=GB&_trkparms=ispr%3D1&amdata=enc%3A1QXszuSp9SPmdyP5zKGCp5Q30&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=710-134428-41853-0&mkcid=2&mkscid=101&itemid=385630935657&targetid=1647205089800&device=c&mktype=pla&googleloc=1006833&poi=&campaignid=17206177401&mkgroupid=136851690655&rlsatarget=pla-1647205089800&abcId=9300866&merchantid=422123934&gclid=CjwKCAiAqNSsBhAvEiwAn_tmxb40pnjlejqC7Ok9yPhXsdtH0d02M0tB3Y_X7RHarkV8VF2ApVhkbxoCiawQAvD_BwE)

That looks like a fascinating film…I don’t have an online television so I for one would be interested in an alternative source.

Ivor, I dumped TV when it went digital - see above though for DVD if that helps.

Ah, DVD, I can do that technology! Thanks Chris!

Chris - it definitely is on Netflix. I just found it again.

Thanks Nick - it's me that's not on Netflix! My DVD's on its way though.

Ah! That explains it Chris.

My favourite bit is the fact that his bath is in the front garden.
