Perhaps, everybody here has already seen this video, if it's the case sorry to flood the forum.

I found this video so nice that after a few hesitation, I decide to try to post the link here.

Seeing it's Old Gentlemen taking the control of a Mustang one time again, is probalby one of the moving video I have seen for a while.

Thank you very much for posting that.

That was a very nice story indeed. A very modest man indeed.

They really spent a lot of time and money on this video.
The footage is stunning (HD) and the story compelling.
I bought the DVD version even after watching it on line since I'd like to share it with others. Also, my grandsons love it because I make a quick appearance at about 8:50min.!

It really is one of the best pieces I've seen in recent years and Chris Wood should be commended on many levels for such a wonderful production.
