Vlog: TWC's Tuk Tuk roadtrip

A bit of behind-the-scenes action on the day TWC the Invacar met a Bajaj Tuk-Tuk in Pembrokeshire. It felt like freedom! Here's the original video. • THREE-WHEEL DUEL! TWC ...

Reasons why Hubnut is the best Automotive channel on KZbin Number 246: He talks to his cars like they are pets or members og his family.

[@LeeTanczos]

Don’t we all? Lol

[@Stephenb033]

“Toilet block amazing” - frankly that’s all one needs to know about a camp site

[@PurityVendetta]

I'm not a terribly sociable person but even I'm starting to want to get out on the odd occasion. Thanks for the virtual trip out around North Wales. Most of my early motorbike years were spent hanging out with my friends who lived there. Good old times.

[@1worldgaming18]

ditto

[@JamesAllmond]

same here...but replace North Wales with South Georgia (US).

[@Fcutdlady]

Sending you all support . I hope you both have an adventure

[@frothe42]

TWC sounds like she is running on all cylinders! Just a bit of work, love & care, and she gives it back in spades. Wonderful video, and what stunning scenery!

[@dieselbushcraft1299]

TukTuk Times definitely deserves recognition for their community spirit, well done whoever you are. Great to see Tuc stretching her legs too.

[@AR-iy7oy]

TWC*

[@philipellis7039]

Being from the West Midlands the word ‘holiday’ to me meant a static caravan in Wales, a wet week in Saundersfoot one of the rare occasions we didn’t go to Porthmadog. There must have been a few invacars on the road in those days, as a child I had no idea what they were. Loved both videos.

[@kaitlyn__L]

Like the Father Ted episode!

[@mileswilkins2849]

Thanks for taking us on the trip with you! Found myself crouching down to look under the roofline. The head cam gives a good driver's eye view - maybe a 3D VR recording would be an interesting experiment, then we can get the full experience! Roll on Summer!

[@nickdoughty518]

This week I are mostly on 3 wheels!

[@matty6848]

This week I am mostly eating raw potatoes😂

[@onlyme972]

WIV AN OWL😵

[@crashbox7130]

Should have a line in tee-shirts with "Not my Sierras" on them.

[@nestrac]

That honk under the bridge reminds me of my childhood... Everytime we went to visit my mother's parents we passed a bridge very similar to the one in the video and of course we had to use the horn every time we passed it.. 😁

[@jarthurs]

We used to go to Tenby and Saundersfoot when I was a kid and I'm sure I remember that very bridge!

[@EleanorPeterson]

Horn honking is the more mature alternative to Lamborghini and Ferrari drivers who ALWAYS thrash the throttle when driving through a tunnel. I prefer a Roadrunner-style 'Beep! Beep!' any day.

[@MatthewJohnCrittenden]

Tuk Tuk Times seem like people to get behind, good stuff.

[@Hairnicks]

It's good to see a bit of behind the scenes, helps people appreciate just how much work and time goes into making films for KZbin. Nice to spend time with TWC as well.

[@davidflamee]

Most enjoyable. Very pleased the opportunity wasn't missed. Greatly entertaining. Thank you.

[@gleng6812]

I was just thinking as you pulled into the garage that TWC would turn as many heads as if a Lamborghini or Ferrari pulled up to the Petrol Pump! 👍

[@meirionevans5137]

Good old reliable TWC, we all enjoyed our little outing to the (cold) beach, thanks.

[@niallsommerville9941]

Well done Tuk Tuk Time and well done TWC. Always nice when you arrive at your destination with all your windows still attached to the vehicle. Almost forgot, bonus clipboard action.

[@williamross2579]

All TWC footage is GOOD footage

[@seancooke4127]

Love travelling in TWC feels so cosy. She always gets where she is going too, I think. Excellent footage. Puch engine was a masterstroke cos it seems like a quality item.

[@waynetetley584]

I do like hearing TWC on the open road. Lovely sound 🙂

[@cme2cau]

I was last in Pembrokeshire 5 years ago. Nice to see it again. TWC sounded great!

[@graemew7001]

I know what you mean, I'm on holiday this week and yet I can't go anywhere. First trip when we get freedom is to go for a run around Buttertubs, I haven't done that in years.

[@scottishcarenthusiastsandtrain]

Really enjoyed this and seeing you back out again doing what you do best. Fingers crossed no more lockdowns.

[@zugbug1986]

All of the fun times and hopefully many more to follow.

[@hi-ace-daysholidays7303]

I can highly recommend the NOCO Boost Plus jump pack - GB40 is a good compromise - it's been brill so far!

[@BobM925]

Nice to see that garage still open. I stopped there in 2004/5-ish in my Vauxhall Movano van to buy some brake/clutch fluid which got me back to Derbyshire. I suspect that bottle is languishing in the shed somewhere to this day (the van was scrapped years ago).

[@peterball8241]

Wobbly footage adds to the authentic HubNut experience. I enjoy the raw real content to some of the more polished offerings.

[@alanryderb]

I used to drive an RE but it was made by Bristol. Good sounds

[@Banglish123]

Single decker VR. I was more a National Mk2 fan.

[@goldbergje]

I wish more of these had survived. I understand updated safety requirements, but what an absolute waste for the government to have scrapped the ones that remained.

[@kathyytube5660]

Users at the time were allowed to keep theirs if they wanted. Others took the new mobility allowance, late 70s.

[@martinwild2087]

Thanks Ian, more fun material! TWC sounds strong now, soundtrack reminiscent of Enterprise going into Warp Drive. Onward and upward Jim.

[@chrisdoney8578]

Enjoyed the road trip as much as you did. Looking forward to more test drives/reviews.

[@andrewentwistle515]

Hooray it is another interesting video with TWC the invacar. Also what a nice to hear the change in Ian as the Restrictions in Wales that are changing. Great repair works done on TWC keep up the good work.

[@stevehallam0850]

Good to see you out and about in TWC.

[@JPF90374]

Fabulous adventure with plenty more to come im sure. Possibly of a meet up with TPA the ex spares car this year? Would be interesting for an update / comparison.

[@michaeltutty1540]

What a great video. Lovely to see TWC on the go. She is such a nifty vehicle.

[@petebarrett3533]

WOOHOO! Great work TWC

[@alansmith1770]

A lovely part of the world for travelling in

[@CauliflowerMcPugg]

TWC is always smiling . 😁

[@The-Rectifier]

TWC...how great a small " car" can be. We only can adore it. Btw Ian, a bit of grease ore a drup pf oil, wouldn't harm the sliding rails of the door. The grinding sound when you slide the door open...screams for help( grease/oil)

[@nigelrudd670]

Tuk rises with the new safety mods 🧐🤔🧰🪛🔧🤓👍

[@robertamoyaw1979]

What a ride! I love the weather there. Perfect for a road trip😊 No need for A/C, or power steering to rob you of your engine's bhp😁👍

[@StevesMachines]

Nice behind the scenes to the shoot. Can't blame you with struggling with motivation! Lockdown and appalling weather is not exactly inspiring.

[@itsmephil2255]

Love these little insight vlogs Tuk nearly not starting .....that's more HubNut

[@richardhaywoodh]

Ian we all enjoy you videos, your gift of talking to and chatting 'us' on the camera is so involving but I'm sure we also understand 'the pressure' you may feel under to produce videos, the priority is you and yours and your health, then the videos, stay safe & healthy mate 👍

[@darthvirago]

I haven't been to Saundersfoot for a few years. Love it there, camped up by Tenby. Great part of the UK.

[@neilwalsh4058]

Top little car, never let's you down 👍

[@dombooth86]

Awesome vlog camera footage is perfect it's very hubnut can't wait to see more of the fleet getting outings... Everyone has days like that especially with current issues 😕

[@dm93627]

In the late seventies I was driving an ailing 1967 Reliant regal, I remember racing and loosing to an Invacar.

[@Ratty_Rex]

I was ALMOST disappointed with this video..... then..... "... notmysierras.... " yep, how could I NOT be happy with it then. 🤣🤣 A great look at behind the scenes, more fantastic views of countryside and chatting. It's like we're there with you. :)

[@redsorgum]

I wanted some video of the rusty motorcycle. I live by the beach, and the salt air eats at everything. I wondered if the motorcycle was stolen, and left there. 🤪🤪😉

[@Bucharestguidedtours]

Great vid on the Tuk Tuk and TWC, that was a bit of a retro petrol pump at the end there, don't see these around much these days. possibly it saw a bit of real 4 star back in the glory days, Best wishes.

[@johnf5817]

Time to treat TWC to a new battery as reward for working so hard?

[@CathodeRayNipplez]

TUK!!!!!!!!! 🥰 TUK went on my fridge today 😎

[@AR-iy7oy]

The petrol tank under the bonnet takes me back to Trabant P601 ownership days, though slightly more scary because that tank sits on top of the engine.

[@davidking9707]

That was fun to watch. My missus tells me that I spend too much time watching your videos. I love her dearly, but I enjoy your films about cars.

[@HubNut]

Please pass on my apologies to your missus...

[@davidking9707]

@@HubNut She is a very understanding person, she is tolerant of my life long obsession with cars.

[@tristanpage6805]

Another great video

[@alastairwilson457]

what a great video

[@theotherchannel2279]

Good to see you out and about, you looked like you really enjoyed your TWC TUC TUC adventure.

[@isaacplaysbass8568]

"Not my Sierra's" - needs to be a T-shirt.

[@wrathofbod]

Haha i would buy that

[@WarriorRazor]

100% would buy a "Not my Sierras" tshirt

[@RWBHere]

Thanks to Miss Hubnut for supplying your TWC and TukTuk tuck!

[@daniellee9015]

Brilliant video Ian that town looked so lovely I'll be visiting there when this is all over

[@iamthefatstig]

Mini road trip joy. I can't wait to amble around aimlessly again. Myself and Mrs. Shed play heads or tails when we're out for a bimble, heads we turn left, tails we turn right. We've found some lovely areas instead of driving the same old roads.

[@tonycox5625]

Good little trip Ian, always a result when your window doesn't fall out. 👍

[@cappaculla]

Nice one Ian, thanks for the vid

[@peterchildress7719]

Miss hubnut feeds you well.loved the trip out.reminds me of 60 s cars ,passed my test in a commer carrier reg KVP15F.

[@rjwilkinson1965]

Brilliant vid ian sat here watching it sun blazing through window thinking of better times 🌞👍👍

[@richardharibo]

Great video and back to normal service. Keep it going Ian.

[@matty6848]

Great Vlog Ian, nice to see you back out on the road again👍💪🏻

[@bombakdik]

Wonderful video. And yes, commenting here after I saw it entirely. Very very nice. An idea for a video might perhaps be a wrap-up through the evolution of 2CV’s, different ranges and model line-up’s, spec or trim levels and so on. I would really love that. Just a gentle suggestion. Oh, how many litres go in a full TWC tank?

[@ianjoyce5120]

This was like watching Peep Show.

[@leeallen7491]

lovely lunch

[@anthonygregg862]

superb video of behind the scenes. and driving footage.

[@Pfirtzer]

I think visiting Wales would be not so wise because I couldn't pronounce all those names of towns and places correctly let alone spell them into my nav.system. The scenery is terrific.

[@anthony342]

lovely ford 8210 tractor

[@35dononeill]

That was a Ford 8210. It would have been out in the early to mid 1980's. It would have been considered a massive tractor in it's day. It's a really nice tractor. It's good to see the tuk out & about.

[@czechhero]

Saw you at Retro Rides Gathering at Shelsley Walsh in 2019, that must have a mission to get to!

[@Mercmad]

Even bigger mission to actually drive up the hill too i think.

[@HubNut]

It wasn't too bad. Certainly not as bad as driving to Goodwood!

[@WarriorRazor]

"Not my Sierras" is becoming a running theme now, I hope we get to see more of them at some point.

[@stephinepaul7483]

The behind the scenes 'stuff' was pretty neat.

[@twocvbloke]

When somewhere has a positive review of the toilet blocks, you know it's a camp site... :P As for the camera stuff, maybe use a chest-mount strap (and yes, Ido recall Beardcam!!!) that is an option for many a sports-cam, or maybe even a shoulder-mount, just to have a little less "altitude issues" when it comes to going hands-free... :)

[@OhioPeteS2k]

I like the old school gas pump. They’re few and far between here in Ohio anymore

[@KiwiStag74]

Is it my imagination or is TWC going so much better since that handbrake cable has been sorted? She seems to accelerate happier and hold her speed without much of an issue at all - got to make a blast in the country so much more pleasurable 😊 On lockdowns, yep - feel your pain there. So much driving missed out on, so many shows and meets postponed or cancelled.....but I'd rather that, than we end up worse off and hopefully one day (sooner than later) we will be able to do more of what used to be considered 'normal'. Speaking of your trip Down Under, I still remember my chance spotting of Betty in Tirau (and grabbing a couple of sneaky pics of her incognito) quite fondly. Although we didn't get to meet at the time (because I felt you deserved some privacy and to eat your lunch in peace), I look forward to doing so at a HubNut meet one day when international travel is allowed again and we head to the UK to see family....or if you head back here again! Still a staunch supporter of your channel and even though things haven't been as they were, you've adapted well and your content is still enlightening and uplifting, mate. Some other channels have almost gone silent by comparison, so don't worry too much. You've helped a lot of us through a very dark period in the world's recent history and continue to do so - and I cannot thank you enough for that.

[@HubNut]

Thanks. TWC is running better since the head swap. Not sure what to deduce from that.

[@michaelcoffey7362]

Cool 😀

[@ianpetherick4326]

Looks like its time for a resto on that fibre glass

[@HubNut]

Yup. Planned for later this year. Well, I say planned...

[@martinneumann7783]

4:20 baguette with bratwurst - lunchtime à la franco-allemande. Wonderful Wales... 😋

[@forkhandles6139]

70s twin tub sounds as starts up

[@yellowbird8690]

My MG TF Scotty still has a few problem I need to fix; The diver's door lock is jammed so won't lock, the window is a bit reluctant to wind down, and the horn don't work. Because of safety concerns, I concentrated on the horn. First I switched it for the air horn I fitted to Whisky. That didn't work. Maybe it's the earth, the weak window winder, that it probable shares with could be an indication. No, earth is fine. Then, with a multimeter, checked the voltage when pressing the buttons. Starts a 3 and drops to Zero. "Faulty buttons" I thought. Steering wheel bit worn, so needed changing anyway. Planing this for later, started doing a bit reading, and then found a link with the faults, all the relays for these things are together in the alarm module. I suspect with the door lock being jammed, each time someone went to lock it the relay got strained. Then that somehow affected the other relays. So now this means I will be taking out Whisky's module. That mean I have to swap the PCDs in the key fobs. Modern cars a fun. 🤔

[@terabyte1695]

hello Ian, I thought the fire brigade from 1960 was on the way when you started TWC, and that petrol station looked like it was in the 60,s take care.

[@robingray1302]

TWC Tuk Tuk take two Tenby Toilets terrific... (that's the T on my keyborad finally worn out...)

[@garage6346]

Most important thing learned: the British have adopted our great German Bratwurst :D

[@HubNut]

Good sausage is worth acknowledging!

[@philiphutchinson4210]

Wales has some amazing scenery... enjoyed both videos with TWC .. I get they're not your Sierras xx

[@domenicgaldo6290]

definately prefer twc, I like the boxer engine and the CVT conbination. only downside; it´s noisy and passengers not allowed in an Invacar, For me she´s a keeper.

[@alanlake5220]

You should have taken TWC to the Pendine sands as you were in the area, for a worlds land speed invacar record .

[@plym1969]

Woohoo" not my Sierras"!😀 Was the engine already modified for unleaded or did you convert it? Great to see your enthusiasm shining through as you get to do what you love best.👍

[@triodehexode]

I am sure I used to fill the invacar at the back window with 2 stroke ,shell 2T, from a hand pump that mixed the oi;/fuel automatically. It was in the 70s when working in my uncles garage is my memory bad?

[@2490debrick]

Awesome 👌

[@TheStan80]

Great roof lining footage . Wow standards have dropped.

[@allanwinter4991]

Fully charged battery 12.6 volts. 2.1 volts per cell.

[@johnwinters4201]

Starting it still sounds like a washing machine just before the final spin.

[@Fcutdlady]

I can understand your lack of motivation from lockdown . Here in Ireland, we had a much harsher one than you guys did . I was off work for 3 months . At least you could take go out in one of your cars

[@HubNut]

I couldn't take out the classics during our strict periods of lockdown. We could only do our weekly shop, and I got enough angry looks doing that in the GSA as it was!

[@garethjudd5840]

The blind spot in my van is even worse. No rear windows 🙄

[@DaveCurran]

That seemed to work well doing it as a two parter
