Reminds me of driving a roofless AC Cobra kit car from Manchester to Dundee in 8 hours of solid rain and frequent stops to empty a cracked distributor cap. Luckily the rain covered my tears.
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.
Grenville Phillips oh wasn’t it just. I do like Guy Martin and he comes across as genuine but it’s all the massive funding they have and teams around them, that makes it look all so spectacular. At least with Ian’s videos it’s real life what you see is what you get. Plus I love his quirky nature and that fact he himself admits he just loves awful cars😂
Quite often nowadays I see comments on your videos Ian talking about “Pure Hubnut”, and I can confidently say this is the most Pure Hubnut video I’ve seen in a while haha, absolutely fantastic 👌
It's so wonderful to see you back at the old place and George looks as mischievous as ever! You definitely needed that unit though, no chance of keeping them all out in the open now.
Only those who attempt the ridiculous, achieve the impossible…. As the saying goes… Most Excellent video! Can’t believe I’ve only just got round to seeing this one. I actually drove one myself once, for about ten feet. The user, Jim, told me it gave him tremendous independence. Back in the day… probably mid 80’s. 👍
My dog Zebbie would love to meet George and/or Milly. He is a fitness trainer for cats, squirrels, pigeons, corvids and foxes. George would soon be a very fit cat indeed.
Sparkrite ignition a true blast from the past. I put one on my 1974 mini 1000 and gained what seemed like 10 bhp, the timing light showed a perfectly stable flash at the right time instead of all over the place. Happy days.😎
I've found that saying literally anything before you get to work on something car related will jinx the lot. The only way to have a 100% success rate is to go into full monk mode and not say a word and nothing will get compromised.
Best. TWC. Video. EVER!! Hey, if TWC can survive that ordeal, she'll survive anything. I must admit when I saw the flooding in Aberystwyth today I did look for Hubnut vehicles in the pictures...
LOL, that has cheered me up no end. Just hilarious. It looked like you were tanking it along at around 80mph from the footage. Glad you arrived safe n sound.
Hahaha, that's classic Hubnut there. Great video, made me laugh lots - hands up everyone who was yelling at the screen "YOU DIDN'T TURN THE SPARKRITE BACK ON!!!!!"
Urban legend has it that someone put a Ferrari engine in one and didn’t tell the owner. A great wheelie machine apparently. They of course ended up in hospital. Can’t remember whether it was due to a crash / stroke or heart attack.
Firstly I must apologise for laughing as you were getting wet in the rain, but you did us proud, you and twk battled on and overcame the torrential rain and thunder, thank you so much Hubnut.
What fun. Thanks. As a kid, we didn’t call them Invacars, but the 70s was more brutal. Gotta say, this is exactly what a YT car story should be. Way better than some cashed up old dude taking about the old days as they trot off to some free event in Monaco. Keeping it real!
Well done Ian! TWC didn't let you down, and you are NOT an idiot! Even with the downpour, Hail, etc, TWC soldiered on! Always interesting when you invite us for a ride. Hopefully you will get your vehicles on order, and properly serviced. And very glad you made it to your destination, albeit just a wee bit damp! Here in upstate New York it is horribly hot, and looks like it will pour. And yes I just heard thunder!
"Nothing to do but carry on" should be on a tee-shirt. I see you fit a paddle on the throttle like we used to on our motorcycles in the 1970s and 80s. Cheap cruise control.
Yes, maybe with a nice drawing of TWC ploughing through the rain, hail, wind and flooded road, headlights on, soaked driver with flashes of lighting and general blackness in the background!
For best HubNut content, look no further than TWC. Sitting down in that cabin instantly makes the world seem like a big perilous place full of dangers... the wind throwing her all over the place, the soaked and slipping belts, the hail storm, the operator doing their best to drown her in fuel with those choke shenanigans, the massive uphills and huge lorries... but golly she delivered! Long live TWC!
Ian I've been watching you for years now, my favourite channel as it goes, you seem so much happier and more upbeat these days, fair play, make the right calls!
Well,it seemed like a good idea at the time.lol That Invacar looks delightful,dreadful and downright frightening to drive all at the same time. Glad your're safe
Fantastic! TWC proudly shows off the "passenger carrying forbidden" sign on the dash and yet you can take us all along with you on your crazy ride! Hats off to you Sir, that was an epic drive! You definitely deserved a cup of tea at the end!
You've probably had this said before Ian but you truly are a rudy star, really good to see the old garage and George wish you and Mrs Hubnut all the best with the move.
Weather forecasters: Flooding and danger to life..... Twc: Hold my beer...... Brave Brave Man, glad you got to where you were going, totally epic vlog!
That looked like a proper little adventure! TWC was flying along. 60mph in that thing must feel more like 150mph, especially belting along those country roads in the wet. Great video.
Those poor neighbours at Rachels. They would have been sat reading the paper, listening to the birds chirping and all being well in the world. Until: ''Rrrring-ding-ding da-ding-ding-ding-ding''..... _''Hang on.....is that?.....it sounds like.....could it be? Surely not? I thought he'd gone? Are you going to go to the window or shall I? AWWWWW fer gawwwwds sake.....he's back! Right then: you get the bags packed, and I'll prepare the advert for the property centre!''_
@@millomweb LOL! - _not_ Crazy Frog? Have you heard a 2 stroke Invacar struggling up a gradient with the driver feathering the throttle to stop the belt slipping? All Ian needs to complete the _''Rrring ding ding''_ look is a pair of Aviator goggles and a flying helmet!
@@millomweb _Not_ a 2 stroke? I thought it was. Well then! - I know the early ones were Villiers engines (as put into bikes). So, this must be the upgraded _Rrronka-ronk-ronk-ronk_ then.
This is one of the most fun videos I've watched in a while. I do really enjoy your genre of non review just driving videos. Like the slow tv craze from a couple of years ago. It now makes me want to try a tuk tuk on a Bangkok motorway at 130kph.
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 !
Garage, George, Awwww. Brings back memories of so many videos. Ian, that was highly entertaining on so many levels. Also the viewer was the ignition not being turned back on coming, haha. Amazing video, happy you filmed all this.
BEST VID EVER! You love your cars, Elly esp... but you are at one with TWC, it’s always on a knife edge in her! A brilliant bonkers mental case journey in the most dire of weather, in the wrong clothes, without a window! Ian, you sir, win this weeks ‘Daft bastard’ award.... genius level 😆. Can’t wait for the new unit footage, hope it’s got light and power 👍 PLUS WE HAD GEORGE FOOTAGE!!!
Gosh, that looked very scary ! - Glad you arrived home OK and dry ! - Those Invacars seem to have a lot of throttle response off the line ! - Great stuff ! - Very nippy little car...
Through the windscreen footage from TWC always makes me feel a bit on edge even from the comfort of my armchair. This took things to a whole new level, no need for false jeopardy on Hubnut.
That little car is a right battler - and no mistake! Wow! What she put up with on the way there and still managed to do it - albeit with a rather wet passenger, but she did it! I bet you were real proud of her too! The lightning was so bright some times that it could be seen from here in New Zealand!!
Did my eyes deceive me or is TWCs old home more untidy than when she departed. Surely this is not possible!😉 It may be historically accurate to have the wiper park on the left but it makes my brain itch. 😐
Great video. Sometimes the unplanned 'simple' ones makes for the best footage. On a side note, I had you on a speaker in the back garden and the wife said it sounded like you were out here with me because you were shouting so loud! Love it!
Have you considered that the tourists might actually be subscribers and know who you are? Not many invacars in mid Wales I'm sure. And I recognise those roads. Spent many an hour driving over them. Especially the hill road from Devils Bridge, up over the tops to Tregaron and then Lampeter and beyond.
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.
You utter madlad! I was just up in the workshop thinking about the storms in your part of Wales. I came down for a cuppa, checked YT and there you are being drenched. That was a super entertaining video! XD
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.
That was easily the best video I've seen you do. I'm sure most of us had no idea they could go that fast. When I was a child I remember them driving about. There was an Invacar graveyard in Shelford just outside Cambridge. There must have been at least 10 there. What a waste!
Hell's Delight Ian, you are without doubt the bravest, craziest car mad chap alive !! Without sounding crass, I bet you walk bowlegged !! . . . Totally makes for the best car stories ever though . . . Pleased Tuk got you there in one piece !! Awesome stuff . . . Cheers !!
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!
There were definite similarities there with Spielberg's DUAL! At the end you sounded like you needed a cuppa, with typical British understatement having just survived a death defying feat!
This is classic HubNut! have watched it about ten times and it never get's boring,.
Thanks for all the fantastic adventures Ian.

Three-wheeled Micro-Anglia:
Three years on, still one of my favourite HubNut videos... :)
Brilliant, Hubnut at its best
Yep, this is a classic!
I have watched this video many times and imo it rates as the scariest yet best video you have ever made. Long live "TUC" (and you ofc)
7:03 no triangle of doom but a slight corner of dissapointment
well in my corner, behind the camera, i was full of anticipation. lol
'Corner of disappointment'
That needs to be on a tee shirt
One has to feel the stress levels of HubNut at this point, if that insufficient parking at the 19:30 stopped bothering him ;)
really fascinating reminds me of 50 years ago when my wife and i went on our honeymoon from Stockport to lands end in a Reliant 3 wheelier
It's so wonderful to see you back at the old place and George looks as mischievous as ever! You definitely needed that unit though, no chance of keeping them all out in the open now.
Only those who attempt the ridiculous, achieve the impossible…. As the saying goes…
Most Excellent video!
Can’t believe I’ve only just got round to seeing this one.
I actually drove one myself once, for about ten feet.
The user, Jim, told me it gave him tremendous independence.
Back in the day… probably mid 80’s. 👍

I was trying to use that truck as shelter!
@@HubNut Oh. WE thought you were trying to use it as a car wash.
There isn't an aquaplane in the world, which can't be solved by *Momentum.* ;) ;)

Great vid. I remember seeing these about when I was a kid. Never imagined they would get even close to 60mph though!!! 😮
Top notch content, you had me on the edge of my seat throughout the whole video. Specially that part when wind starts rocking it.
That looked so scary, even on a screen... 😅
Same
Man and machine in perfect harmony. That was epic. Best bit of motoring I've seen on UA-cam in a while.
Thanks, Ian 😁👍
Quite possibly the best vlog iv seen in a long time...
Loved that ride out
You are insane 😆
Hahaha, that's classic Hubnut there. Great video, made me laugh lots - hands up everyone who was yelling at the screen "YOU DIDN'T TURN THE SPARKRITE BACK ON!!!!!"
The Invacar is one of the most charming contraptions I've ever seen!
But it's a dangerous death trap on the roads>>
Ought to put a V8 in it...

Something right out of Wallace and Gromit!

Why-there *is* something comical about a man in a small car, interrupting his speech with sudden "OW!"s :D
Epic ! And scary , am glad Hubnut and TWC reached the destination in one piece . David Foster.

The hair needs a bit more blending in at the sides
I thought the new hairstyle was quite modern, myself,
Hell's Delight Ian, you are without doubt the bravest, craziest car mad chap alive !! Without sounding crass, I bet you walk bowlegged !! . . . Totally makes for the best car stories ever though . . . Pleased Tuk got you there in one piece !! Awesome stuff . . . Cheers !!
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!
A classic Hubnut adventure! Who else was shouting "you turned the ignition off!" I'm just glad you made it in one piece 😳
Just imagine how cold and wet you would be without TWK's bodywork and her lone little wiper keeping the floods from you.
You are quicker than so many drivers in big solid safe modern cars. Much respect.
I'm glad we came back home from our week in Aberystwyth yesterday! Great video, lovely to see TWC in action again.
There were definite similarities there with Spielberg's DUAL! At the end you sounded like you needed a cuppa, with typical British understatement having just survived a death defying feat!
