Chagford Drewsteignton area you will be familiar with.

Yes, it's got the 'bean can' headlight pods too

Re: The green ‘interim’ Plus 4 424 AMX is a well known car that used to belong to Pat Kennet of Derbyshire. Pat did a lot of trialing and PCTs in it with good success. Pat was a motoring journalist & Editor mainly for the Truck magazine.

Oh yes I remember that area well, enjoy.

A little more coverage from the killer Simms here [video:youtube][/video]

If anyone is interested I have downloaded a fair few for myself but kept them there incase anyone is interested shout.

I watched one sequence on You Tube last night and I can see the attraction, although I would not stand around for hours in the cold. The bikes are most amusing, with unexpected acrobatics.

The specials are impressive because some get up there quite gently as if on a Sunday garden centre jaunt. The most impressive in the clip I watched was a Mk1 Golf which went up like a stabbed rat, and no hesitation.

Thanks for the video. Watched it over my lunch break.

Dave, glad you enjoyed it, I went to Simms around 5 years ago as it is the ballbuster on the Exeter.

Morgan's and average saloon cars take the much easier bypass which comes out immediately to the right of the finish on the brow.
Beetles, Dellow's and those hairdresser XC60's do best of all driven correctly as I said to Alistair you can probably pick one up now for £50.

The lightweight bikes are just made for this environment, I watched a young lad wrestling a Transalp half way that year but by now being sleep deprived he dropped it and the lads on the course helped him back up to the Horsebox (top of the bypass section) for a bap and tea. He carried on I think.

At Simms 3 years or so ago someone rolled an old Classic Ruby and the driver was airlifted out but sadly lost his life.

I love everything about it, meeting the course boys and girls and competitors they are such a lovely set of people and that is why I fancy the Lands End and Edinburgh this year hopefully.

Graham and Alistair interested in either or both this year.
I have brownie points credited apparently the boss told me last night when she enquired as to your wellbeing Graham.


Simms this year.
