Speaking of VW's. My family had a 1957 (or '58) VW. It had no fuel gauge, rather an auxiliary tank. You had to keep track of how far you had driven since the last fill up to know when to gas up.

You did have an auxiliary fuel tank, with a gallon's capacity.

That changed in 1962 with a real gas gauge.

Movie was average. The story behind Sutton Hoo is nucking futs on a number of levels.

@aqua-letifer I agree-- both the leads just looked old and dowdy. not a particularly interesting story line, but an interesting subject matter.

@jon-nyc He's probably trying to work out where to put the drum solo so he can take a quick bio-break

I think it's more likely that he was thinking about how to make the piano part hard enough such that people like @jon-nyc don't attempt to botch through it.

That's putting it mildly.
