1934 Colmore Trial

For now, I lumped all the pre-war cars together, I would LOVE for there to be enough demand to split it into groups (hint...hint, post here about your pre-war Singer)

I was able to with a VPN set to the UK, as matter of fact, I am posting this from the UK right now...well the internet thinks I am, actually I am home. Phillip, you can a get VPN with a 30 day trial and set your location to the UK and watch it. I use HideMyAss and set it to France and its fast enough to watch live French TV, there are hundreds of VPN's out there. The only real difference between them is how fast the servers are in the other country.

I could "grab" the video and post it also but that would likely be many copyright violations. Lots of Singer's, its a great vid.
