Off-Roading in £1000 Cars (It went badly)

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

We tackled a 5-star difficulty off-road trail... and it went badly.
We bought these cheap cars for only £1000 and have taken them on a few adventures, however off-roading is definitely the most silly thing we've done.
Check out the rest of the series:
We took £1000 cars racing: • We Took £1000 Cars RACING
We took £1000 cars rallying: • We Took £1000 Cars Ral...
We modified our £1000 cars: • We MODIFIED Our £1000 ...

    I bought my wife a KA identical to this (red, 08 reg) as a cheap stop gap car around 2013 for £1800 with less than 20k on the clock. It felt like a bargain then, but the idea of paying £1800 for a 5 year old car now is mind blowing! I maintain that it was absolutely the best cheap car imaginable. Cheap to buy, cheap to run, almost nothing to go wrong and put a smile on your face to drive. I couldn't find anyone to agree with my verdict on it at the time so these videos are a nice bit of vindication many years later :)
