very nice! back in the 80's I use to love buying a vehicle and just driving thru the woods w/o any roads, made my own. we had keg parties way out in the woods where you didn't bother anyone and had the best times without anyone fighting. cheers, It was in Massachusetts, Taunton to be exact!

In the fear of momentum burnt clutches could be smelt lingering in the damp air across the countryside.

Most fascinating thing I’ve seen in a minute.

There's slightly off, there's seriously excentric, and then, there are Brits. "Hilarious" was an understatement. Thanks for sharing!

I'm actually envious: whipping vintage commuter cars up muddy hills for fun would earn You a double-stoning in my nook of the woods, from both the hill-protectors and the vintage-commuter-car collectors. Thats why I commute in my '71 Series 2a diesel once in a while 😅to give at least a little bit back to my fellow Germans.

Something satisfying about watching them little tires squish about one the rocks. Grasping for traction.

Looks like fun, if not rather brutal for some rare cars..

Try Morris Dancing and Highland Games. You have no idea...yet. This "sport" began when country dwelling aristos found that their guests could barely reach the family home for weekends...

I've owned a lot of these cars over the years and even the Hillman Eimps as well, my grandad love them and lift me one.

I used to do this in the 70s, first with a Morris 1000, the a Mini with an 1100 on twin SUs and finally with a Cortina GT mk1. The crowd used to get really involved helping stuck cars and even other competitors would give advise how to approach difficult sections. Truely (and literally) a grass roots motorsport.

Men of a certain age in cars of a certain Motor sport at its best😂

Great video Elizabeth!!!

Very good, these trials are great.

I thoroughly approve of the Hillman Imp abuse. I had one, they are awful. Whereas, when I was a kidin the 70s, before SUVs were a thing, VW beetles were known for making it up the nightmare road to the local skifield rather well, so if you couldn't afford a Toyota 4WD an old beetle would do

The Triumphs, very sporty looking, littered the highways. They were really bad as well. But they had a following. I believe it was because of their sporty good looks. My uncle replaced the engine twice in his. But, he loved it. Eventually the engine went out again. But,by then, the floor plans we're rusted away, the convertible top had many rips and holes, and fourth gear did not work. He limped it to a salvage hard and got enough money to take his girlfriend out that njght, which was unknown to my aunt.

It transfers weight directly down onto the driven wheels. As if another 200kg slammed down on the bottom of the tyres... suddenly there's more traction. You can do the same if you ever have to get a 2wd truck turned around on a narrow track... 5 people on the tray boucncing up and down in unison gives the truck enough grip to tackle slippery slopes as it backs uphill...

An Imp was originally meant to be a rival to the Mini. In some ways, it managed that, top speed, acceleration etc. In other terms, however, not so good. It was a rush job, like the Mini, but without Alex Issigonis cracking the whip. The original Rootes management might have been able to handle it, but the British government threw civil servants at the problem, not a good idea unless it's a tire fire we're talking about. Then Chrysler took over, without asking either Rootes or the British government to cancel the project. I hate to say it, but the Scottish workforce was the root of the problem. When the Linwood plant was trying to open, most of the applicants hadn't been regularly employed since the Korean War. Most were also from Glasgow, which meant an hour's bus commute every day, minimum. Then, the two demons of Scottish industry stepped up: unions and bookies. I was told very early on in the saga that there were 15 unions in a workforce of 8000, almost all of whom were still training. Some years ago, I was told that every line on production had its own "official" bookie, whom the company couldn't sack. Sometimes two, who got into endless fights and thefts. By a miracle, they produced tens of thousands of comfy, cuddly wee cars that no American muscleholic could ever recognize, but which are still loved today.

Those Stilleto, Imps spare wheels are in the wrong place! They should be on the front to hold it down, and at least give you a fighting chance to steer! 🤣 I raced Imps, back in the day.
