[@Petrolhead99999]

In the US, there are countless towns in the Midwest that are dying. They are old oil and railroad boomtowns that have slowly dwindled down to a tenth of their original population. They somehow feel more historic than big cities because the guy who runs the hardware store has family who founded the town in the 1800s. His family fought alongside the seed supplier's great grandparents in the Civil War. Everyone has a piece of family history that they are still connected to through their family and the heirlooms that get passed down. Small farm towns are so cool, and I'm proud to have been raised in one... but I agree with Marty... The interesting small businesses have a tough time being successful because there aren't enough people to keep them afloat. I don't want to live in a world where we don't have small farm towns, but it's hard for me to see how they will survive.

[@davidsawyer1599]

Small towns are nice. Part of the reason that they die is their failure to embrace change. Folks love charm and quaintness and are willing to pay for it. The internet is full of cottage industry businesses. They charge moderate sums for their wares. Most don't want to be bothered. I have encountered it all to often. They have something of value or the capability to produce something of value with a very low investment. It's as though it's a shuttle launch. It's sad.

[@AfferbeckBeats]

@@davidsawyer1599 Yeah, can't be bothered is a big attitude. My family's home town is a tiny country town that happens to host a music festival every year. And every year the shop owners close up and go on holiday elsewhere because they can't be bothered trying to cater to the thousands of people that show up! Any sane business owner would base their year around that weekend of sales, like many do for Christmas.

My vote is for Tottenham. I got flu there when I was working as a Geophysicist for the NSW Geological Survey back in the 1970s. I spent a week in the Tottenham Hospital (which I think is now closed). I had excellent service from the local doctor and the staff at the Hospital. If I remember correctly, our vehicle was a Series IIa SWB Land-Rover which remains my favorite vehicle of all time. I owned several. Noisy, slow and quite thirsty but tough and would go anywhere. Ours had "cruise control". Actually it was a hand throttle for the winch, but the Geologists would put the hand throttle to FULL, put their feet up on the dash because the floor got too hot, and cruise from Sydney to Broken hill. The speedo would go past the 70mph mark so God only knows how fast those Land-Rovers were going. In those days, the speed limit was not limited. The engine was a 2286cc four cylinder OHV with quite a short stroke. This is unusual for English engines of that time but it helped the little motor rev quite well. There was also a diesel version using the same block. They were economical but pretty slow. Excellent movie gents.

[@jase_llan]

The 2.25 litre Land Rover engine is awfully unrefined in modern terms, but bulletproof - my dad has one in his kerosene-powered forklift and it always gets the job done.

Love a good road trip. Have since my parents took us kids on them when we were young. I think the best one I took was right after buying a 10 year old Jaguar XK8 convertible back in 2009. I'd had it a month and it hadn't broken so I decided to use it for the road trip I'd been planning to take my daughter on. We traveled 7000 miles on back highways mostly. Did a circle of the country almost starting in Florida heading north to Ohio and then going as far West as Denver. We crossed mountain ranges, visited caves and geysers and gorges, forests and deserts and of course saw millions of acres of farmed land. We watched a cloud form just yards away while on the summit of Pikes Peak. I'd been up that mountain a few times in my life in everything from 60's era VW Beetles to a Greyhound bus before they paved the whole road up but that was the first and only time I went up the mountain with the top down and it was breathtaking. And after leaving there, I really went off road thanks to some bad navigating and we ended up crossing Arizona through some tiny dirt tracks through the desert. Not exactly Jaguar territory, especially old Jaguar but it took it all in stride and never gave us a seconds trouble on our journey. In fact, the only time I worried about the car at all was coming down Pikes Peak. I could tell the brakes were getting hot by their reduced performance and with no way to engine break I worried I'd get stopped and made to rest them on the way down and blow our schedule but we passed the inspection. Barely. I did get pulled over right after getting back inside Florida state lines and for the first and only time, I didn't get a ticket. lol It was a good trip. This is an absolutely huge country. It's well worth seeing.

[@Hartbreak1]

Hi guys, thrilled to see you guys bought an Up!. I own an Skoda Citigo with similar engine (chya 60bhp) and gearbox. But I couldn't live with the lack of power. So I had the car chiptuned and it really made the car more lively. You should be able te make around 90bhp with an intake, exhaust and chiptuning upgrade. Your videos are great! Greetings from Holland.

That sounds massively optimistic for a normally aspirated 1L with just a few bolt on mods. VW had to turbocharge it to get 90bhp.

The Australian market up was quite well specced. 74bhp engine as standard, along with electric windows and AC.

Went to Katoomba in the Blue Mountains last time visiting Australia back in 2017. Epic scenery.

[@imperfectcrx]

I really liked those wheels as soon as I saw them too. Waiting to see how the rest of the episode plays out. I wish we could get that nugget here in the states.

As usual, great presentation with exquisite production values. Your 12v car oven is awesome. It reminded me of Ben Dark. He did a TV touring docu-series in the 90's (I think). He was touring around in a beautiful old 70's Holden Statesman. He had fitted a engine coolant heat-exchange system under the bonnet, using the engine temperature to slow-cook dinner under the bonnet. Genius idea

Hey mate if your interested in the stove or the 12v fridge/freezer. They got them at Jaycar.

[@peppermintnightmare4741]

Haha the suspenseful music playing in the background while you two were eating the pies had me laughing so hard. Thanks guys. Aloha from Hawaii.

[@TheKnobCalledTone.]

Can confirm that the Up can sit on 150 all day, and can even sit on 170 for a while assuming you don't want to go any faster. On the autobahn or in the NT of course.

[@deutschlanddendeutschen849]

You can rev the shit out of it, nothing will happen, it’s literally bulletproof 😂

[@desert_jin6281]

I'd have gone with a Subaru Justy. Japanese, three cylinders, was available with a turbo if you really want. Nice video, thanks for the entertainment :)

[@Dzonnyg]

And wasn't it awd?

[@Gobbbbb]

It's nice to know my 125cc motorbike can outrun a VW Up! 😂 Excellent video as always boys, thanks for the decade(+) of entertainment. I want a refund!!!!!!!! 😉

[@21jimmyo]

Yeah, people used to take long trips in basic cars because that's all we had. Watching this makes me miss the 1978 Honda Civic and the 87 Suzuki Samurai I had and my friend's 68 VW bug we drove to Fla.

Martin's so right about KYBs. Great stuff, but only stock height. They blow seals when lowered.
