Ah, that most likely would be the film "Lancelot St. John -
Bucklethwaighte, Cowpoke." I recall the theme song, "Mums, don't let your
lads grow up to be british car enthusiasts." This flick is kind of a cult
film among british cowboy wannabes.
Incidently, St. John-Bucklethwaighte is pronounced just as it is spelled,
to wit: "Sinjin Buckwheat." This should not be confused with the famous
british Zydeco band of the same name.
You heard it here first.
