The Long Way to Churchtown

Cheese, not horsepower. Petrolicious, the classic-car film studio behind the Drive Tastefully line, posted one new film this week, "The Long Way to Churchtown", and its stars run a cheese shop.

Todd and Monica Brown have spent 25 years tracking down small producers for 109 Cheese & Wine, and their day off is spent looking for more. Their car for it is a 1970 Lancia Flavia that, the description says, covered most of its 33,000 miles in Rome. This drive ends at Churchtown Dairy, where Mel of McGrath Cheese leads them through the creamery and into the aging caves under the hill. A calf about half an hour old was waiting in the barn. Jacob Hopkins directed.

The comment section is as much about the Flavia as the cheese. Several viewers spot its Perugia plates and its dark blue paint over a light interior, one remembers an uncle who drove Flavias on long business trips for years, and another notices the Alfa sharing the couple's garage. A few came for cars and are teasing the dairy detour with cheese puns.

The film went up twice under the same title, and the first copy has drawn most of the views. Together they lifted the channel well above its usual daily pace, though the subscriber count held where it was. Behind them, "One Shot: The Sign Painter and the Ferrari", about Bailey Clayton hand-painting the livery of a 1956 Ferrari 500 TR from old photographs, is a month old and has passed 240,000 views.

Among car channels of a similar size, George J Saliba had the giant week, while Petrolicious sat in the calmer half of the group.
