I had a 0.9l Tce Stepway. Its the right engine for the car. It's pull in 3rd gear was nice for such a small engine. I drove mine like I stole it and it still returned 39mpg !
Great coverage of the Fuel Power party. Absolutely gutted I missed it but the Irish Sea does tend to get in the way. Hope to get over to one at some time. Also hoping to organise a show myself in NI so putting out extended invite for if and when it happens. That’s a MAG alloy on Bumble by the way.
Thank you ever so much indeed for mentioning my 45 V6, Mr Seabrook! You are right, only available as a saloon in this country, although hatchback V6s were sold on the Continent. Rare even when new (they only made around 700), apparently there are only about 50 left taxed on the road now, which means numbers have more than halved in the last two years!
I remember seeing some Japanese market Minis at Longbridge in the late 90s. The A/C was actually in the passenger footwell. This meant that it wouldn't really accommodate front seat passengers with legs.
Been a bit late replying to a few of these videos as I have had four days of steam locomotives at the Severn Valley Railway. But there has been some great classic vehicles that turned up with their train enthusiast owners including a Mk3 Vauxhall Cavalier, Austin Seven saloon, 1950's Ford Consul, 1970's Jaguar E-Type and a early 1980's Talbot based motorhome.
I think the cute alloy wheels on that Mini, Bumble, are MAG ones, made by Mill Accessory Group, which grew out of Paddy Hopkirk’s side business of accessories
Hubnut. The basic sandero in access trim is the one for you. No fripperies like paint on the bumpers. Best bought second hand so first owner will have added a radio. Only wiring for one came as standard
The Japanese market Minis did indeed fit aircon under that bonnet, and they did it by relocating the radiator to the front of the engine bay. Don't ask me where, I don't know either!
The Doblo may seem to be a competitor to the Berlingo, but contemporary road tests slated it as hideously underpowered and with a chassis not in the same league as the Berlingo / Partner. The rear end is held off the floor by cart springs and a dead axle rather than a torsion bar system so it's much more primitive – kinda like the Mk3/4/5 Escort van.
Golf r32. 3.2 vr6
Its a Ferrari 458
I really hope there's a Lower Wallop and Upper Wallop. All sounds very Ecky Thump

Nice little show.
Some fine looking Minis there and loved that tiny caravan, other enjoyable walkabout 👍

Awesome car event.
Im eagerly waiting for my 309 to come out from the paintshop to go to some events 😀
I can halp you with Yugo Florida! 🙂
I miss my 480. Currently sat in a field in France going no where.
Great cars from my era. Thank you very much from Fresno California.

I had a CRZ of a similar vintage. I loved it but it’s the definition of a car that has a body the mechanics can’t cash
Gutted I couldn't go, that Alpine was lovely!
Titch "Me wants wee wee " . Ian says "Dont pee on it " poor little mite, hes dying for a pee. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣Titch says "But its a rust proof car " 🤣🤣🤣

Great interview with Trixie’s parent
You are putting out some top notch stuff both😊

I bet someone there had a spare set of points for an A series but sadly the Mini had been modified for "extra reliability"!
Was great to meet you both and have a chat while checking out the camper. Thank you for being so complimentary about my little mini 😊😊
