Classic cars forum & vehicle restoration.

Is it a coincidence that events organised by the ERA are henceforth to come under the HERO umbrella?

As for 'Carry On Rallying' itself, it was a bit of a farce, wasn't it? Crews without a clue about classic cars (or any sort of car), navigators with no concept of distance or left and right, questionable steering technique (crossed arms, hands inside the wheel etc), holding on to the roll cage (!) and harnesses incorrectly worn; none of it reflected well on the organisers or the participants.

I doubt the programme makers even considered consequences any further than the potential for TV ratings. To most viewers these so called "celebrities" are participating in an event of which they have no knowledge in classic cars with which they have no experience. I wasn't going to watch it but in the end I did and it was just as dire as I imagined it would be.

I have never attempted rally driving but I did try my hand as a navigator and in my experience, it is without doubt one of the most difficult things I have ever tried. I failed miserably because the level of concentration required.

I don’t watch broadcast TV any more, especially not the BBC who I think are completely out of touch with most of us.

Netflix, Amazon Prime, YouTube and occasionally Quest are all I watch. Nothing would persuade me to go back.
