MCC 91st Exeter Car Trials 2020 - Simms Hill

A short film of the 91st Exeter Motor Cycle Club Trials

[@markholroyde9412]

Awesome, just fkn awesome, older folks having real fun at grassroots level, hardly a fkn cellphone in sight, love this....Pop was glorious.

[@raywest3834]

Finally, after years of watching these, I see a Morris Minor and an Anglia 105E, the latter I've always thought might do pretty well, as they're light, short wheelbase, and easily souped up. The old Ford Pop always makes me smile, and I fondly remember the red one of Harvey Waters. Thanks for a great video, and cheers from Alaska

[@terrystevens5261]

That Ford pop at the end was epic, flew up there.

A tidy production. These trials can be very awkward to film, especially giving a good impression of the gradients and rough ground. A great compilation of the action and what is required to get up Simms Hill👍

[@lynbooth1431]

Fantastic camera work. You put the viewer trackside. As close as being there. The music was perfect as it seamlessly tied all the images together, and you can still hear all the engines roaring, tyres howling and suspension smacking the ground. Very very professional video. Cheers from Australia to you, the drivers and marshalls.

[@SamSam-cq1mf]

This is some cracking cinematography. Great work 👏

[@simonbertioli4696]

Brilliant....work by all and great support from the wonderful marshalls. Can't see why people put a negative remark... Keep them coming 😁👍👍👍

[@geoffreypiltz271]

First time I've seen a Suzuki X90 do well at this. All credit to the driver.

[@blacksquirrel4008]

I, for one, enjoyed the music. Great production, folks having fun in the mud.

[@jilo860]

most excellent shots, really superb work

[@scottpyatt3012]

I enjoyed the variety of vehicles and I thought the music was ok.

[@simonaeldred]

Very well put together, I liked the music👍👍

[@kushkush7954]

There are some beautiful cars they are using these type of events ,even i cant think about it. If i have those i will keep those in my garage with good attention.

[@daveybernard1056]

Pleasantly surprising how well VW bugs do. Wish you guys had a kubelwagen, too.

[@g.dfirestarta6474]

In my humble opinion, the beetle in its most basic form is good at everything that doesn’t involve speed. And that’s why I love them

[@peterduxbury927]

@@g.dfirestarta6474 Problem with owning a Bug is that it becomes part of the family too! It has (almost) got a soul. I bought a '71 from a scrapyard, and destined to be crushed the next day. That was 2004. I had no affinity to the car at all, but I was desperate for the "crushing event" - not to happen!! I enjoyed working on the Bug for 18 months. Since owning the Bug, I've kept records of costs. Total spent (to date) is over AUD 50K. Car has now been converted to 100% electric, with Tesla Battery Pack and Hyper 9 electric motor. I thought long and hard about the decision to convert, but my reasoning came down to just one simple answer: this is a car that deserves to head towards the next century - at a pace where no-one can ever say my Bug is slow! I love my Bug. It's Alpine white and in factory (unmolested) condition these days, and icons will always remain icons. NONE of these Bugs should be heading for the Scrapyard, but regretfully, the Scrapyard Owners don't always view things from the same angle. Your one-line comment was excellent, and prompted me to write back. Greetings from Sydney Australia.

@@peterduxbury927 never owned one personally, had weekend visitations with one that my buddy and I used for “Farm Use” at his place. I’m almost embarrassed to say how bad of a thrashing we gave it. But if there’s a silver lining to be had here, it never did die, just broke so many parts it wouldn’t move😅. But with a little tooling, we saved the engine and left the rest to be picked apart by friends of a similar taste. Only things that went to the great scrapper in the sky was the busted up body and suspension. I have so many questions though. Is there anywhere I can see your Bug? My interest is more than piqued lol.

[@richardh7774]

I was “bouncer” in friends Kubelwagen in the early 80ies…….. we did Lands End and a couple of others ;) Fun Times.

[@peterduxbury927]

Not wanting to be technical, but front engine/prop shaft and rear wheel drive doesn't seem to compete with rear engine/rear wheel drive. All of the Beetles had no trouble in general, but front engine/front wheel drive did good too!

[@raywest3834]

They run in different classes, fortunately.

There's something so fun about making a machine do something it wasn't suppose to do

agree about the video, disagree about the music. However the cars are the main thing 👍🍺

[@andrebartels1690]

What about M+S tyres? They would allow the vehicles show their potential.

[@raywest3834]

Mud and Snow tyres are not allowed in this sport.

[@andrebartels1690]

@@raywest3834 that's strange. I don't see how this sport benefits from this rule. But I guess those who made the rules have thoughts about this topic that I just don't have, because they have the experience and I'm just a spectator 🤷‍♂️

[@raywest3834]

@@andrebartels1690 Just as four-wheel-drives could climb steeper hills, locked diffs and M+S could certainly climb better, but this sport doesn't make things too easy for the competitors. I expect that part of it might be that the sport predates M + S tyres (I think Firestone Town and Country tyres were introduced in the 50's). Part of it might be that the trails, many of which are on private land, might not welcome grippier treads which would certainly do more damage. But in the end, as long as everyone can only use the same tyres, (at very low pressures) the competition is fair, and the amount of traction they DO find, quite amazing!

[@andrebartels1690]

@@raywest3834 thank you for your answer. I didn't think about the trails, that's a good point.

[@rydingwithryan493]

Is 4wheel drive not aloud?

[@raywest3834]

Only 2 wheel drive is permitted, and no locked differential either, although I think you can fit 'fiddle brakes' (essentially 2 hand brakes that allow you to lock the spinning wheel).

[@googleuser6916]

I would be disappointed in the escort or the beetle if it didn’t make it

That one car sounded like a bumble bee farting in a milk jug

why this terrible background music instead of the original engine sound ?

Who’s the miserable daft old sod with a 2.5 Mazda engine getting pulled up on Barum Engines KZbin channel for mucking up a engine in a trial car and being unhappy it was filmed showing the bodges it’s had after being built ??? 😂
