That was great following the red car after 9 minutes all the way to Swindon town centre great video I have to say it's a lovely drive through the countryside

I came across this whilst watching your "London to Bath by Mk2 Jaguar, July 1963", it's absolutely facinating, I like to follow the film whilst following the locations with Google street maps to see how much things have changed. You're in effect chronicling social history by making there films and so are educational as well as enjoyable. Keep the good work.

Done this journey SO MANY times!!!!

[@WiltshireByways]

Thank you Joe. That's one of the reasons why I upload videos like this. I love finding nostalgic videos on TH-cam and smiling at the old cars, roads and happy people. Maybe people will still thumb up our comments in 30 years if we're both still here! (I hope so).

Watching this from Canada. Love these sort of vids

[@WiltshireByways]

Thanks for watching!

I used to do this journey in my Rover 75 - with wood effect dash and picnic tables .

[@WiltshireByways]

I briefly had an end-of-life diesel 75 last year - it was a great car, if somewhat neglected by the previous owner.

This will fascinate people in thirty years time.

[@j.j.c.s2802]

Sadly not. This is Swindon.

[@WiltshireByways]

Thank you for your kind words. I hope history proves you right!

[@rayrumming7901]

What type of car sir?. Its good to be in the passenger seat for a change. I drive this road once or twice a week.

[@WiltshireByways]

Hi Ray. This is a 2001 VW Passat TDI.

[@racefaceec90]

i didn't recognise the roundabout right at the beginning which is very embarrassing as i live less than a min away from the garage (cycling time) for the past 20 years. i blame a mix of old age and stupidity lol :-)

[@seanbetts6973]

Swindon really isn’t that bad

[@chrisdawson6156]

Well there's good and bad wherever you go
