Back when I could see the program, "My Classic Car" rode along with him on a Stanley. It was fairly quiet and very fast. You have to plan your stops well in advance as the brakes are overmatched by the steam engine.

You were well advised to plan your stops well in advance in my '69 Impala, too. :-) Ahhh, drum brakes at all four and bias ply tires. No sir, don't miss them for a femtosecond...
