This is a competitor's car on the Herefordshire Trial early in 2006. Passengers aid traction by just being there or "bouncing" in unison.

As an old car guy, this really troubled me at first, but the more I watch, the more wildly entertaining this looks. Beats the hell out of prominading around on a golf course with a martini in your hand. Car shows are for dead cars, run what you brung!

As I am from the continent, I'll perhaps never will understand that. I'll continue to measure the Mulsanne as a much more worthy field.

But don't let you interrupt digging and of course, cleaning up afterwards ;)!

These cars were built at during a time when the roads were probably worse then this.

I heard a motoring journalist mention recently how British enthusiasts drive their vintage cars harder and more often, whereas Americans pamper and garage their cars more. You can decide which is better for yourself, but I thought it was an interesting observation nonetheless.

Well, it's a curious English form of motorsport, called 'Trialling'....but you wouldn't understand, old boy!
