I had a Caterham a few years back, and this reminds me of several miserable journeys in torrential rain, at night with the full 'hood' on, and one or two without a roof on. Caterhams aren't particularly good at stopping water ingress at the best of times, your head is at the height of most people's headlights, the wipers are tiny, the side and rear plastic windows mist up and even the heated windscreen wasn't much better. A 'half hood' is generally much better when you're actually driving.

Have to comment on the camera slipping, it's like it's turning to say "What on earth happened to your hair?!?", cos, erm, it is a bit "pudding bowl cut" if I'm honest.......... :P

Fantastic vid, proper edge of your single seat job. I must admit I couldn’t take my eyes off the screen and trying to look past your wiper and ready for the brake. I wasn’t far from where you started the vid, and could see the storm ahead. We had a slight shower but you were hammered. Love the way you turned off the A44 to Devils Bridge, no slowing down. Keep up the great channel.

I have no real interest or knowledge with regard to cars but I gravitated to your channel as I enjoy the process of you restoring and driving old vehicles. The Invacar restoration process basically sums up why I watch your content Ian and I want to thank you greatly for such compulsive viewing. I say to you in all seriousness please be careful driving that car in such awful conditions. It looked absolutely terrifying. All the best to you.

I'm feeling very fortunate to be sitting in the comfort of my own living room with a nice cup of tea watching this, and not experiencing it first hand! My first drive in any form of classic car was in similar weather (but in winter so bloody cold) in a 1974 VW camper, frantically trying to keep the windscreen demisted.

Epic HubNutting! All the best ingredients for adventure. Borderline unsuitable vehicle, plus epic British summer weather. Stir in a dose of Ian's "forgetfulness" and it makes for perfection. To misquote a famous road trip film; "It's 50 miles to the unit, it's raining, and we have an Invacar." "Hit it!"

Whatever you throw at her TWC keeps going, epic film. Three Wheeled Courage! Was out in a similar storm with my sidecar, one of those where you try and remember where the road edge is cos you can’t see it. Sidecar wheel loves to really drag you left in standing water. Mutter curse and wonder about your sanity and then grin like a madman and go back and do it again because you feel so alive!

What a place for the choke to live. Of the dozens and dozens of your videos I have watched over the past couple of years this has now become my favourite of all of them. Thoroughly enjoyed from start to finish. I remember when you found this car in a field - neglected and not running. Well, it has finally dawned on me that no matter how much I try and make my Skoda Yeti different from the crowd, I will never get even close to the uniqueness of you bombing about in this crazy invalid car. Bravo.

I’ve made it into one of your videos!! Fittingly, at the side of the road drinking a cup of tea at Devils Bridge. We did that exact drive getting into New Quay just after 2pm so we missed the worst of it whilst driving. The lightening in New Quay I can only describe as apocalyptic! Bizarrely 30 minutes further on at Mwnt - glorious sunshine!

Easily your best caper for a while Mr H. I am sorry to admit I was belly laughing by the time the hail swept in. You truly capture the epic nature of even the most modest motoring endeavour and there is something of JB Boothroyd's classic true grit Motor if you Must on display here. Bravo !
