The great AC / DC frontman Brian Johnson has posted on his YouTube channel some key moments of the episode of A Life On The Road starring the legendary Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason. Both passionate about cars, both great collections and both main actors on the most beautiful musical stage.
In an interview for the Telegraph, Nick Mason admitted that he and his peers feel mortified when they think about how much money they have in the bank. “Our rock generation has been more than lucky – said the drummer – I think we all feel a little embarrassed about our heritage and how we use it. My environmental impact is heavy “.
In this new episode Mason showed the AC / DC frontman his immense (and enviable) collection of vintage cars, in which undoubtedly the rarest and most beautiful Italian supercars ever: Ferrari 250 Mille Miglia, Maserati 250F and Tipo 61 Birdcage, 365 Gtb / 4 Daytona Competizione, 512S and 312T3 in addition to the historic British cars that have made the history of motoring across the Channel such as Jaguar and Aston Martin. The main protagonist of the episode, however, is the Ferrari 250 Gto, chassis number 3757.

the Pink Floyd drummer recalled the first meeting with those who later became not only his mates in the band, but also his lifelong friends. Mason explained that it was a car that sparked the spark between him and Waters, specifically the car the drummer owned in 1964. "It was at Regent Street Polytechnic - he said - that's where I met Roger Waters and Rick. Wright.
All three of us were studying to become architects. It must have been a loss for architecture that then, instead, we entered the world of music, who knows! - he joked and then continued - we met because Roger knew I had a car, although I'm not sure he knew which car it was, because it was actually an Austin 7 Chummy with a top speed of 20km / h, a 'car that didn't even have brakes! ”.
