What a wonderful piece of film: expertly produced with interesting and knowledgeable participants. And the vehicles themselves a great slice of early motoring history. Thank you so much. The UA-cam algorithm did well here!
The young brother and sister (also filmed in 2019: ua-cam.com/video/2_QSHIAg8XU/v-deo.html ! 8:23) are 18 and 16 respectively now. Really good to see younger enthusiasts at this event. And boy, do they have the bug!
It's wonderful to see the dedication of people who keep these eccentric machines from the early days of motoring going for us to enjoy and marvel at. You can keep all your "supercars" and over-polished hot hatchbacks!
Beautiful! I love these old cycle cars and automobiles. For some reason even as a child in the 1990's I wasn't drawing Lambos I was drawing Stanley steamers and model A sedans. lol
... yes I found the film immensely amusing. I knew Bob had a hand in cyclecars (he exhibited one of his at the Goodwood Festival of Speed), and I always enjoy the VSCC's off-piste attitude to life (usually in France), so I became quickly obsessed. I rather hoped Bob might fetch-up somewhere along the line, but was shocked and saddened by the ending: it was the first I have heard of his demise. Bob was a true eccentric, totally un-fazed by the rest of the world, and all the better for it. There were so many stories he told me over the years: even in the heady world of the VSCC he wasn't always in full alignment and trod his own path, and it mostly seemed to work for him. I went to a VSCC meeting (Brands) about 3-years ago and found a geezer at their publicity tent. Yes, he knew Bob and was a near(ish) neighbour, so I got into a brief period of exchanges with the old bugger. Fun - always fun! Never less than fun. We weren't closely in contact, but maintained a rather loose friendship since leaving Haden (what - 50-odd years ago!! Ye gods!) So sad that he is gone, the world is a far poorer place without him.
A pure delight! Quirky machines that make interesting sounds. Someone should organize groups who could work together, to create some new machines. Invited participants could contribute the parts and pieces, and as a group build something unique. Just a a thought, So fun.
Simply wonderful! These about a century old vehicles clearly show those renewable energy "experts" how mobility could work in the future: light vehicles based on simple technology that can be serviced easily even in developing countries. I would love to own a Briggs & Stratton Buckboard some day, but unfortunately I could not find a reasonably priced example within Continental Europe...
@5:37 Working condition meaning the optional smoke screen...just love these cars and it feeds into my cycle-cart abcession (meaning it leaves a hole in my wallet)!
Electric starting looks a luxury. Of course it means carrying a battery and then a dynamo to charge it. Where will this mad headlong rush into the future bring us?
I've occasionally thought of building a cycle car, but I already have a 1927 Model T. So, why would I want something slower ? They look like a lot of fun !!
what is the car at 0.16 ? it looks like an old sidecar fitted with four wheels and no motorcycle, I would liked to have seen a bit more of it , I don't think it is an original but a facsimile of an old machine built in the style of the old cyclecars.
12:11 Get that boy some piston rings! Some really old engines from the first few years of the 1900s didn't actually have oil scraper rings and would smoke like crazy.
The lovely old 1910 AC Sociable has an EL registration which came from the town I live in , Bournemouth. Did your Grandfather come from there, if not do you know the original owner?
Lucy Hall (owner) replied: 'Yes, the car was originally registered to a Mr Alresford, proprietor of a garage near Christchurch station, east of Bournemouth. He sold it about 1916 to the uncle of the man my grandfather bought it from, who passed it on to his sister. Following an incident at the station when the car refused to start, that sister gave up on it, and laid it up at the family home in Wick, near Southbourne, in about 1922. The vendor resurrected it in 1952, and used it occasionally for a couple of years, before work and family commitments overtook him and it was put into store again. My grandfather also lived in Dorset. NB: a large batch of unused EL reg. plates were issued around the 1980s, as 'age appropriate' numbers for restorations/rebuilds whose original numbers had lapsed or been lost, so not all ELs are actually from Bournemouth'
@@pickprod Thank you so much for that lovely interesting history of this car. Wick in those days would have been a wonderful rural area and the arrival of such an interesting vehicle would have been a talking point. So nice to see it in action again.
ive started building a Ppontlarge from the booklet ' to build a cycle car ive got the matieral for chasis frame im looking for suitable engine .I have found a blacksmith who may be able to make some of the curious metalwork springs are one thing the stearing heads are another but we shall see ttfn&ty

British motor sport at its best. The Festival of Slowth makes all the money and angst poured into WRC and F1 events look rather silly by comparison.
Absolutely. What makes it so daft, is that the outcome is pretty much certain, someone will come first.
Pro motorsport, looking, somehow, to make money in the process. Amateur motorsport looking to spend money!
I don't know when I've last had a continuous smile for 13 minutes and 15 seconds. A sheer delight. Thank you from the USA.
RIP Bob Jones.
Thank you. Appreciated.
What a wonderful piece of film: expertly produced with interesting and knowledgeable participants. And the vehicles themselves a great slice of early motoring history. Thank you so much. The UA-cam algorithm did well here!
It's always a pleasure to watch folks live their best lives.
Wonderful gathering of eccentric machines. Long may they continue to provide a lot of fun.
Brilliant video, wonderful subject. Love it - thank you.
The speed! The risk! Oh, the humanity! I love it.
Thank you for this wonderful short movie 🙏🏻 it absolutely made my Friday morning in Victoria Australia 🇦🇺 💯🤠👍🏻
I was there (seen pushing the Condor 😅), great event! Wonderful hosts x
I love this event very much. Thank you for sharing it with the world.
nice to see that young guy in the end. Interested in this old stuff at the age of 18 !
The young brother and sister (also filmed in 2019: ua-cam.com/video/2_QSHIAg8XU/v-deo.html ! 8:23) are 18 and 16 respectively now. Really good to see younger enthusiasts at this event. And boy, do they have the bug!
How wonderful! ☺️
Fantastic machines. Looks like great fun.
It's wonderful to see the dedication of people who keep these eccentric machines from the early days of motoring going for us to enjoy and marvel at. You can keep all your "supercars" and over-polished hot hatchbacks!
I look forward to this festival and these videos every year….!
❤️👍🏻❤️👍🏻
What an excellent event, thank you so much for sharing I really enjoyed watching it.
Nothing wrong with slow. Slow will not get you killed.
Unless you are running for your life, or need to do miles to earn money
Wonderful
Thanks for this! It’s the first I’ve seen of it! ❤❤❤
What a wonderfully inspiring video. Thank you.
Thank you all for showing these fantastic machines, when many people still used horses
Thank you so much!
Beautiful! I love these old cycle cars and automobiles. For some reason even as a child in the 1990's I wasn't drawing Lambos I was drawing Stanley steamers and model A sedans. lol
Very cool!
Mental. Totally mental. I love it!
Found this channel today. Thanks for making us smile. Subscribed. 🙂👍

Once again I have a deep, deep desire to build a cyclekart out of lawnmower parts.
Go for it!
Now these are pre war vehicles I can get behind!😁. That festival is one that would get me to Britain if it were possible at all.
The AC Sociable at 8.10- yes the same AC that went on to build the Cobra 50 years later.
AND... the invacar!!

The cars are great and so is the music.
Great to see the Temperino in action! I was only aware of these from my well thumbed copy of Michael Sedgwick's 'Vintage Cars'.
Such lovely fun!
What a magical event! Thank you for documenting it! 😊😊😊😊😊

love this post and the machines in it....
This is what life ought to be like! What a great group and machines.
what a lovely event! Glad to get to experience a slice of it, thank you
A very profesional production with a classic sound track. Well done.
Thanks for the effort. Jim Bell (Australia)
Lovely, thanks for that
Glad you enjoyed it
Delightful! It should remind us just how little we actually need to achieve locomotion. Cheers from Canada.
With you on that one!
This is so cool and cute!
Love it, what a pleasure to watch
Brilliant. Wish I could have gone :(
video assolutamente meraviglioso!
Well Done!
Wonderful. I would call that the Inventor's Museum.
Bit off topic but the ads took so gosh dang long I forgot what I was even watching and I'm just absolutely delighted.
I have no control over the ads... blame UA-cam! I'm with you on this one.
Chill-Climb Monsters!
Excelent😊
❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you.
Какие-то они родные кажутся мне с детства
how wonderfully, delightfully wacky!
👍👍👍👍👍👍❤❤❤❤❤🙏

I can see on the Condor that it does not have anything like the Ackerman principle. Very interesting though. Thank you.
My Dad would have been right in his element here!!
I love the "track slack" in the chain of the car at 7:27.
We all love the Bedalias! Big feature on them next time.
I've occasionally thought of building a cycle car, but I already have a 1927 Model T.
So, why would I want something slower ?
They look like a lot of fun !!
8.51 is she wearing 2 right shoes
No!
independent front suspencian facilitated Morgan' s vast superiority in pre WW 1 trials.
Old and quirky. The cars too!
9:12 besides the Ford Model T this transmission is nearly identical to the gearbox of a Toyota Prius
what is the car at 0.16 ? it looks like an old sidecar fitted with four wheels and no motorcycle, I would liked to have seen a bit more of it , I don't think it is an original but a facsimile of an old machine built in the style of the old cyclecars.
And they say the cybertruck is intresting!

I too, want to build a cycle cart out of lawn mower parts
Надо ж сохранились такие раритеты.
Does anyone know what the inline two seater is?
Bedelia
The “games” for this event look like something the staff at NPR would come with.
somehow old british motorcycle is kind of attract me here, so here i am
Glad you found us.
Runabouts.
Heehee, I love the title of this event! Slowth definitely needs expertise to maintain it!!!!!!!!!

Brilliant! I really need to build/acquire a car to participate while I still have the right functioing lunatic brain cell mix
Do it!
So many look like pedal cars!
4:22 Как же я себе хочу такую малышку желтенькую)
Gosh, it’s make a GN seem modern
British madmax
Прикольно.
5:33, OMG watch out!!!
Get ready... there's more coming!
We need cylecar sized motorcars again. Say goodbye to mandatory car insurance and tired arms from pumping gas.
Why cant we have those now? At a price we can all afford
its unique but yet only made 1 yr 1913 weird and only a few made valuable 3 wheel condor cycle-car
Engine performa.not speed.bravo...👍
Los
S brita
Nicos que
Ther nice lady has on 2 left shoes....
Looks like fun but what appalling products the trikes are
Horrid, dangerous little contraptions
I'm bringing back the old cycle cars.
This Benz is the worlds oldest car . Copy .
Define “ slowth” which is a non existent word
Wonderful. I didn't know what it was a gathering of till the end credits
!!!!!
