 Lands End trial Easter weekend - bathtub tom
If Doggie was wondering what all those muddy old motorbikes and cars were doing mixing it with the Emmetts in his back yard.

Here's a clip from twenty years ago, even a JAP engined jobby to keep sliding pillar happy: www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-DUyPAnUcQ&feature=youtu.be

Ta, just watched the abuse! 4 wheeled Morgans were popular, I lost count, but there must have been at least 8, including the famed Murraymint (the green +4 4 seater).

Would have to change my back tyre to even move on those sections - I managed to wheelspin for over 100 yards on the level on a wet playing field without even trying.

What, no rain! .. good selection of cars there bathtub, including an Escort Est. and a H/Hunter est.

I wouldn't mind taking a Lancer Est. up the Aggie section ... not my one though ;)

Bit of a whoops on the MR2 removing the front cross member!

Could not see the tow vehicle, and although it was a rather quick movement, not excessively so in my opinion.

Never forgotten a wet Biggar rally (veteran cars, lorries etc) years ago where the favoured tow vehicle to get one out of the mud was an old Field Marshal tractor - nice slow and steady pull. A modern four wheel tractor after two unsympathetic fast pulls just got waved aside.

Probably a rust heap - I wonder if it had a current MOT!
