Hello this is Overdrive a program with an infatuation about trains, planes and automobiles.

I’m David Brown

The times each story appears in the program are noted (mm:ss)

Powerhouse opening of exhibition.
I went to the opening night of the Powerhouse Museum’s “1001 remarkable objects” 
In amongst items of haute couture and jewellery, however, was a 1917 Detroit Electric car that came to Australia and was used for 30 years.

The evolution of Triumphs 
The difference less than 20 years can make in car design as shown in this picture.
The car at the back is a Triumph TR2 (Built, I believe, between 1953 and 1955. Was there ever a TR1?). The car at the front is a GT6 Mk III (GT6 built between 1966–1973).

Book Review (Sort of) 

A colleague received this book ‘Car Dealers and Other “honourable” professions’ in the hope that he might promote it.

My colleague felt that it was too raunchy for his audience.

The best-looking Holden Monaro 
Holden produced the HQ Sedan in the early 70s. They continued the trend they started in 1967 of making a 2 door coupe based on their family sedan.

I may be biased but I think it looks pretty good.
