      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.

    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 👍

    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!!

    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.

    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.

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.

    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!
