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

The KA was meant to be a joke. It turned out to be the best at every single challenge they threw at it!

I really miss my KA. Some twunt hit it. But whilst it was 'somewhat' archaic, it was great to drive. . Not sure I'd have taken it up a "mountain" though....

I'm not gonna lie I had a 2007 focus and it survived a *Lot* and could handle way more than it should have. If I was gonna get a cheap shitter for some off-road thing like thing, I'd look for one of those. Bigger KA
I want to see a fully lifted off road KA now. I think that should be it's reward.

Turbo the KA
I think it's great that when Scott first saw the KA, he was disappointed and now he's bonded with it. He doesn't want to scratch it on a rock. There's a real love there between a racing driver and a little red KA
Its nice to see Callum getting OFF a ditch for the first time! 😂🤣😂

As opposed to Scott getting off in a Super Kart.
Three guys who trust each other, work together and have a modicum of mechanical sympathy. Brilliant 🌞
Saw the astra on a trailer yesterday heading towards the M40 at Barton. Noticed the snorkle and wondered what that was about
The content is so wild I wouldnt be surprised if you eventually try to use cars to swim across the ocean

A way better version of UK Top Gear for sure. This is much more like the US Top Gear.
The "Honk if anything is falling off" sticker is just fitting for this episode
I get so many old school Top Gear vibes from these guys. Even in the personalities, I can imagine Callum being the James May of the group, Scott is the mousey and nippy Richard Hammond, and Will is the grumpy prankster Clarkson
I love how the music is the same as Matts Offroad Recovery has used a lot. It seems really fitting because it looks like you needed a lot of rescuing!

8:52 - the "Honk if anything falls off" sticker is perfect also, great teamwork all around. this was an awesome episode.
This is my go to channel for watching chaps just having fun. Genuine smile fest watching these videos!
Turn the KA into an offroad with raised suspension, Will's snorkel and the rest of the off road kit you have. That would be fun👌😎
I would love if you guys did an hour long special of all three of you across europe or some place.
That MG stood no chance off road when it’s that low lol I remember having a lancer that was lowered by the previous owner and I was having to crab walk over speed bumps and drive ways. I actually beached the car once on a huge speed bump it was both extremely embarrassing and hilarious lol.

I owned this, it has zero fluid in it. Sat on the bump stops. It would do soooooo much better in everything they’ve put it through with a £30 top up
That ka has actually been a beast in almost every challenge 🤣
I remember that KA was supposed to be punishment for Scott but it turns to be the best car they bought
Don't care if you guys got stuck, this was a great watch! more of this please
That's the least normal "normal car" I've ever seen
I love this so much, especially as an American who was raised in rural Oklahoma and is an off-road enthusiast. The road never looked any worse than roads I drove on daily, lol. That's not to say people didn't have issues with cars on these roads - exactly like y'all did - but that's why I was a truck owner, lol.
why the hell does the ka look so damn good

Who would’ve guessed that the once-ridiculed Ka would turn out to be an absolute champion. Keep up the great content, boys.
Awesome idea. Now you gotta lift those cars and try again :D The Ka is a beast!
those bikers were awesome for stopping by and helping out
Discussing how the tow rope is rock solid while the astra just says "420 Anusol" in the background i mean people say you're like the new top gear but I think you've topped early top gear ngl
You'd be surprised what you can do with a scissor jack, which is probably in the boot. Jack up to full height and then push it off the jack in the direction you want to go forwards or backwards. Used this many times with a TG Gemini in outback Australia.
Brilliant. Not having 6 support vehicles makes for much better entertainment although clearly more stressful you guys. Many thanks for putting yourselves through it!
double tyres is the most brilliant idea!!!
The Ka is an awesome little car ! Great handling and gearbox 👍
The whole time I’m thinking how easy this would be with more than 3 inches of clearance. Such a great video as always
This kind of off road driving is what i love. I take my mx5 on roads like this regularly, and it’s bloody fun The ka was hilarious, but surprisingly effective
I think, by now, the KA is an iconic car for Overdrive. From joke car to top dog. Well done. And in this video, it had some Mad Max vibes. :D
That Ka is an icon! Absolutely legendary!
I love the way this challenge turned into a full on escape mission🤣Keep up the great content!
Absolutely love ur content. Keep it up lads
😂😂😂 I seriously NEEEEEED more of this stuff! You guys not only make me laugh, but get me nostalgic about how fun cars can be.
I seriously love you series and all your vids, binged watched them like 10 times, keep them coming up love you all so much
Offroading is always so much fun. Hope to see more off-the-beaten-path content!
"And my Ka is absolutely amazing." Now there's a sentence that nobody has ever spoken before.
Just as every off-road/truck enthusiast should immerse themselves in what makes sports and racing cars so impressive, this video proves the reverse is true ;)
You guys are making some awesome content 😂 love it keep it up lads great to watch!
Brilliant video really great to watch!! 👌🏼
Love these "top gear" styled videos. Wish they were longer though!
I live in Kyrgyzstan where I frequently go off-roading to the most remote lakes, galciers, and passes up to 4000 meters. Watching you guys try to navigate this with cuty cars was super fun!

That KA is a true trooper! was never a fan but by god they really are little reliable joys of fun. Good job lads!
Best episode yet! I'm loving what yall are doing.
I love how Callum is like a hypochondriac for Will's car 😂 Great content lads as per
You guys are the spiritual reincarnation of the OG top gear and I'm here for it
Brilliant video lads 🤘🏻
I think offroad challenges are the best and the rally was brilliant and you should lift them all up (you can do with spacers only to keep it cheap) and do it again. Or go safari all the way. I also love the MORR vibe you gave it with the music. Keep it up youre going in the right way!!!
That "Honk if anything falls off" sticker was very accurate for the Astra in this video lol
i've done that route on a mountain bike and I had a hard time on a bike. its incredible you guys managed to get some of the cars that far along it.
my want for a ka goes up every video
One of the most ridiculous car challenges I’ve seen… absolutely loved it! 🤣
Awesome video, boys! Love this one! Love 'em all!
This was probably one of the best videos you guys ever put out!
That Ka is by far the best looking Ka I've ever seen! And an absolute off-road beast 🤩
Despite it all going a bit wrong this is one of the most entertaining videos on the channel. You 3 have a great dynamic.
Love your top gear style videos.
Probably the best video you guys made!
You guys are the most fun car channel to watch!!
Thumbnail game ON POINT! Looks like an epic screenshot from a game, outlandish modded cars with saturated colour. Love it
That was one of my favorite videos u guys have done keep it up
Really glad to see you went South to North like the voluntary restraint suggests. The last thing we need is the very few greenlanes we have left getting closed from misuse!

I still have this same Astra model, but left handed, not convertible and made by Chevrolet (Brazil, 2002). Even if it's a caged beast for asphalt driving, is not the best specimen for dirt driving (a baseline Fiat Uno would easily ace this trail with no mods). Nice video. Your channel is becoming what Top Gear ceased to be. Cheers!
Ngl the Ka looks like its about to pounce on you HARD. Epic episode keep it up guys!
We really need to see more of the amazing KA!!! Rig a little lift kit and hit this trail with it again.
I love this content. They are great.
I'm freakin' loving the 3 modded cars series! Even though you didn't get very far, I think it was a pretty fun one!
If Scott had mounted LARGER diameter tires as the outboard tires he could have improves his ground clearance by a fair bit...
OMG, this was my absolutelly favourite video guys! Please please make a season from this hahahhah!!!
You hade the best content about cars since the Old top gear
This gave me some really good TG/GT vibes! Loved it
This remembers me a lot to yesterday when I went off to the fields in my Audi A3 to cut down bushes growing into our fences. Meanwhile it started raining and the gravel field way got muddy what had negative affects in traction and ground clearance.
First time a youtube video undersold itself, top content lads.
That might have been a headache but boy was it entertaining. Great stuff and who would have thought that little KA would have been anything but last when they all turned up weeks ago? Next up wil be the cargo and towing challenges where the KA will somehow pull a 747 while the MG will get crashed out and the Astra will struggle to hold a packet of wine gums. :)
This is the best car channel on KZread. 100%
2:10 love the sticker :D "Honk if anything falls off." Vauxhall / Opel Astra is such a great car, I had one and it was great even in some terrain. :) but not if you lower the suspenssion :D and mine had bad exhaust as well, it rotted away and sounded like a dirt bike.
oh man, just a little bit more, that's a really crazy idea tho, please do more
Haha love that KA. I've done some stupid stuff offroad in a Corsa so I can relate to that.
Awesome video guys!
The KA is a work of art😂
this reminds me of the time me and some pals took a rented hyundai into the pyrenees in the spring and got stuck in a snow bank. luckily once night fell the snow hardned up and we could drive over it
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 :)
That KA is awesome, i love it so much.
Best episode yet!! 😅
Yessssss been waiting for a new video!!!!
Failure has the highest entertainment value. Awesome!!!
The Ka was the best because it has absolutely zero sporting pretence 😂 I would have loved to be a fly on the wall in the debrief for this one!
This was the best one yet!
Getting Scott that KA was a mistake, it was a beast!
THIS IS THE BEST I SEEN
Always eager to see the latest Wish Top Gear video! 😉
I love watching your videos it’s like watching the old top gear
I think the KA was so good off-road because it knew it had to make up for being the butt of the joke in the beginning!" 😂🚗
