Haha! That's my dad doing the voice of the bloke in the taxi complaining that it'd be quicker to walk. I also spotted him in the crowd (smoking as usual) listening to the guy rant about highways and demolishing houses.

Brilliant! I loved seeing cars from my childhood - Minis, Valiants, Austin/Morris 1100/1300s,HQ Holdens etc. Now THOSE were cars, not like the soulless plastic crates that pass for cars today!
