    My vote is for Tottenham. I got flu there when I was working as a Geophysicist for the NSW Geological Survey back in the 1970s. I spent a week in the Tottenham Hospital (which I think is now closed). I had excellent service from the local doctor and the staff at the Hospital. If I remember correctly, our vehicle was a Series IIa SWB Land-Rover which remains my favorite vehicle of all time. I owned several. Noisy, slow and quite thirsty but tough and would go anywhere. Ours had "cruise control". Actually it was a hand throttle for the winch, but the Geologists would put the hand throttle to FULL, put their feet up on the dash because the floor got too hot, and cruise from Sydney to Broken hill. The speedo would go past the 70mph mark so God only knows how fast those Land-Rovers were going. In those days, the speed limit was not limited. The engine was a 2286cc four cylinder OHV with quite a short stroke. This is unusual for English engines of that time but it helped the little motor rev quite well. There was also a diesel version using the same block. They were economical but pretty slow.
    Excellent movie gents.

    In the US, there are countless towns in the Midwest that are dying. They are old oil and railroad boomtowns that have slowly dwindled down to a tenth of their original population. They somehow feel more historic than big cities because the guy who runs the hardware store has family who founded the town in the 1800s. His family fought alongside the seed supplier's great grandparents in the Civil War. Everyone has a piece of family history that they are still connected to through their family and the heirlooms that get passed down. Small farm towns are so cool, and I'm proud to have been raised in one... but I agree with Marty... The interesting small businesses have a tough time being successful because there aren't enough people to keep them afloat. I don't want to live in a world where we don't have small farm towns, but it's hard for me to see how they will survive.

      Small towns are nice. Part of the reason that they die is their failure to embrace change.
      Folks love charm and quaintness and are willing to pay for it. The internet is full of cottage industry businesses. They charge moderate sums for their wares.
      Most don't want to be bothered. I have encountered it all to often. They have something of value or the capability to produce something of value with a very low investment. It's as though it's a shuttle launch. It's sad.

    I once took a 20 year old mk1 Twingo from France to Armenia through Italy, Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, Romania, Ukraine and Georgia.
    I had a great time, made greater by the absolute nugget I was driving. Went and back tho, without any issue.

    3:35: "It's designed to drive at 150": Having driven my share of tiny VWs on autobahns (rentals - since I don't need a car), they can hold 170-180 no problems, but somewhere around 160 become truly terrifying because of low weight and not stiff enough frame.

    I drove a Daihatsu Cuore for like 20,000 miles around Australia when I was over there for a year. Bought it for $500, and ended up taking it from Perth, up west coast to Darwin, then down the middle via Uluru, coming out in Adelaide, then up the east coast to Brisbane. Never went wrong once. So yes, a city car CAN be a grand tourer :D

    Love a good road trip. Have since my parents took us kids on them when we were young. I think the best one I took was right after buying a 10 year old Jaguar XK8 convertible back in 2009. I'd had it a month and it hadn't broken so I decided to use it for the road trip I'd been planning to take my daughter on. We traveled 7000 miles on back highways mostly. Did a circle of the country almost starting in Florida heading north to Ohio and then going as far West as Denver. We crossed mountain ranges, visited caves and geysers and gorges, forests and deserts and of course saw millions of acres of farmed land. We watched a cloud form just yards away while on the summit of Pikes Peak. I'd been up that mountain a few times in my life in everything from 60's era VW Beetles to a Greyhound bus before they paved the whole road up but that was the first and only time I went up the mountain with the top down and it was breathtaking. And after leaving there, I really went off road thanks to some bad navigating and we ended up crossing Arizona through some tiny dirt tracks through the desert. Not exactly Jaguar territory, especially old Jaguar but it took it all in stride and never gave us a seconds trouble on our journey. In fact, the only time I worried about the car at all was coming down Pikes Peak. I could tell the brakes were getting hot by their reduced performance and with no way to engine break I worried I'd get stopped and made to rest them on the way down and blow our schedule but we passed the inspection. Barely. I did get pulled over right after getting back inside Florida state lines and for the first and only time, I didn't get a ticket. lol It was a good trip. This is an absolutely huge country. It's well worth seeing.

    I was suspicious of the first pie, because it looked like they bought them in plastic wrapping bags. That’s not going to be made in the local bakery, to a traditional local style. It’s like buying a Big Ben pie in NZ. It’s factory made and sent out to supermarkets everywhere.
    That said, judging towns on the merits of their bakery goods is a decent metric. There are some tasty meals out there worth stopping or. Some places will be making pies for farmers and truckers, and they will be loaded with beef and bacon and cheese because those hard workers wouldn’t chomp down on anything less… So you know it’s a treat.

      Going to a supermarket was also a clue... though like the boys said, towns like Tottenham aren't big enough to support a bakery these days. Though I'm surprised Nyngan couldn't support one with a population of around 2k people. Not that long ago I lived in a town with around 4k people and there were two bakeries (and oddly enough about 7 ladies' hairdressers... not even kidding about that last part).
