It did - thanks!
However, the BBC site wrote:
"A total of 1,721 vintage vehicles drove down the city's main avenue "
I watched the clip and didn't see a single vintage vehicle. I can understand innacuracies about the term "Classic car" as there isn't a strict definition, but for "Vintage" there is, and this sort of mis-use of the term irritates me. Still, at least they got the terminology right on the certificate eh? Or shall we have the debate about whether those are classic cars or not?
On second thoughts, let's not have that debate.....
On another point though, you might be fogiven for thinking that this country (the UK) would be best positioned to set such a record, I have to admit Mexico wouldn't be high on my list of likely countries, so well done them!
Cheers

Some people are like Slinkies - they serve no useful purpose, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them downstairs.
