With the rain comes mud...

Well here in the UK its that time of the year again when instead of putting our beloved A's back into mothballs we dust them off and hit the countryside to sort the men out from the boys - https://hoits.smugmug.com/Motor-Sport-Photos/VSCC-Events/VSCC-Cotwold-2015/Class-2a/

And you say us "Yanks" are crazy.
Looks like you "Brits" are having some crazy fun.
Jolly good show.

Must be a passenger requirement in the british race. 4 to a vehicle?
Nothing quite like a determined englishman.

Yes we need the extra ballast to get us through the mud as the art of the " bouncer" is grossly underestimated as without them progress would be severely limited. We also have a strict set of regulations that have to be adhered to. I hope you noted the Tudor SV 7556 of Chris Williams with the clockwork orange crew and smoke stack on the roof which doubles as exhaust pipe.

Nor is a limited slip differential.

I preferred the video we had of this event a while back. The stills don't show the importance of the furious but skillful bouncing that was required. Plus the video featured a really cute host!

Can't do that with those new fangled 16 inch wheels.

Do you go for a pint afterwards? I'd be for that.

It would be great to join these lads, but I would hate to be the one to later clean the car.

Yes a pint or two is obligatory afterwards and yes cleaning the beast afterwards is a real pain in the nether regions as power hoses are off limits for fear of doing more harm than good. A's are proving more and more popular , most of the LHD ones coming directly from the US complete with the 3.3 engine. My Phaeton SV 8778 is an import from Argentina and after a season trialing I think is hankering to get back there!

Model A's, Muddy Hills and Bowler Hats. Only in the old country! Love it!

Hello Nosbod

Me and my Dad met up with the Binghams on the MAFCGB Northumbria Tour in 2010 who are keen triallists. I think this is their 30 Phaeton. Over a few beers they convinced me that I ought to have a go, but of course my 29 Pickup is not VSCC friendly being a commercial vehicle.



Are there any meets in the east of England? Most seem to be on the Welsh borders or even further north. Dad hasn't said that he'll lend me his Cabriolet, but then again he hasn't said he won't...

All the best
