A Mini Adventure At Drive Dad's Car

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

We visit Drive Dad's Car at Ambergate in Derbyshire, where I take to the wheel of some classic Mini cars. A great day out, that had me grinning from ear to ear! ▶ Thanks for watching, if you enjoyed the video, give us a like, leave a comment and you haven't already, please subscribe, it's free! kzbin.info/door/ZQ5DSOjFao4NcpDgyvX_3Q

What a lovely thing to do Bob,a drive in the past, brings back memories just watching you and seeing some of the other lovely motors. Remember my brother had an immaculate clubman 1275GT, think he cleaned it more than drove it 😅

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Yes, a great Mini and a great sound.

[@victoriabright7071]

Awwww my first car was a Mini 850, in Harvest Gold! My mum was given it by her employer and she passed it on to me! I think mine was a bit younger than yours-1973! BVJ 982L! Thanks for sharing! Fabulous! 😊

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Very cool!

[@rogerfarrington8571]

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

My Mini was a converted mini van.

Ambergate is an amazing place and I drove one of the minis amazing day out. Thanks for sharing and love the channel as always 💓 looking forward to 2025s travels thank you

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Our pleasure!

[@clarefrancis9284]

Aw my late parents had an old green mini. I love them. Really enjoyed.♥️♥️

[@yorkshiremotoroamers]

I'm not envious at all, Bob! 😂 It was fascinating to see how the Mini has evolved over the years. I noticed that the steering wheel in the Mini Sport is identical to the one in my MGF, which is a common practice among various makes and models in the BMC/BL/MG range.

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

So many parts were reused.

[@paulandheikeontour]

Really enjoyed your Video , have to go there when we are in England xx

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Yes, well worth it.

[@brianinbrisbane6632]

That blue Hillman/Sunbeam looked a little like the one I used to have in Malaysia in '82. A great little car. Looked lots of fun there. My Auntie Peg had a Mini in Australia in about '61; she loved it.#

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

I nearly got a Hillman Imp as a first car, but opted for a converted mini van.

[@christinehodge3608]

A Really good day out driving the Mini car, he ,s having a great time

[@vivianeloncin]

Magnifiques voitures anglaises...des légendes d'une belle époque !

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Thank you. Is there a similar place for French cars?

[@vivianeloncin]

@@BobEarnshawMoHo Ici en Belgique, vous pouvez faire le tour le tour du circuit de Spa-Francorchamps avec votre propre voiture ou comme passager avec un pilote professionnel à bord d'une Alpine A110 mais je pense pas que l'on puisse essayer des voitures comme vous l'avez fait. Avant en Belgique il y avait de nombreuses marques de voitures Nagant, Imperia, Minerva,... malheureusement elles ont toutes disparues .

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Minerva used to build Land Rover!

[@vivianeloncin]

@@BobEarnshawMoHo Yes 1952 !

[@PoshcatsCamping]

A lovely day out and a pleasure to help with the footage. You really captured the experience with a mix of old and very old minis 😃 Thanks for taking us along with you and allowing Trev to ride in the back of the cooper 👍🏻 Loved the video, something a bit different on your channel 😃💙🚐🚐 Trev n Sue

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Thanks for standing out there in the cold to film the drive bys. It really made the video! 😃

[@PoshcatsCamping]

@ It was fun 👍🏻😃

[@johnb307]

Dare I say it Bob, you look good in a Mini 🤣👍. Thanks for sharing and I hope you both enjoyed the experience, looked great.

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Super today out, highly recommended.

[@dbcooper7326]

i don't think he has the legs :)

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Or the mini skirt? 😅

[@paulhampton4217]

Thanks Bob, that brings back memories and looks like great fun. I think I would have to spend a week there driving all the cars I used to have and the ones I couldn’t afford 😅. I was just as excited as you watching the video. Do you have to book a spot or can you just turn up because I would love to go there when we come across this year. 👍

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Best to book. Check the website for details. drivedadscar.com/

[@lindafielding6733]

My first car was a MiniTraveller automatic

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

They do have an automatic Mini to drive...

[@davidlindley485]

Thanks Bob. It was brilliant to see all the old cars from the past. I past my driving test in1969 so I have previously driven most of them and owned a few as well including a number of minis.. The first that hits you most of all is how small they are compared with modern day cars.

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Yes, cars continue to grow every model, makes you wonder where it will end.

[@paulhayward9451]

Great nostalgia Bob. My first car was a Mini Mayfair back in 1984 - great car!

[@carol_1966]

My first car was a Mini 850 😊

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Mine too!

[@dennismatthews6660]

Great day out. I couldn't fit in any of those cars. No power steering! Really roughing it. Thanks for sharing. Great concept.

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@pennyholland703]

A fantastic video what wonderful car s there is ,glad you all had a lovely time.

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Many thanks

[@Wheres_wanda_wandering]

What a brilliant experience and a fantastic video. My first car was a mini van which had been my parents. It was an R reg and I loved it. Dad had a Ford cortina too. Take care Gill

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

A lot of people seem to have had Minis as their first car. It's so iconic.

[@mrtiabrown]

My fav car was Ford Sierra Sapphire and British Rover was also Good

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

I've only ever had a short drive of a Sierra and that was yellow and had BT written all over it. 😁 Jenny dad had a Rover SD 2600, that was nice.
