They came up in the little trials car that John built himself. He built it to compete in Classic Trials - events where road going cars tackle impossibly steep, bumpy and muddy hills to see if they can get to the top. (The bodywork is all hand-formed aluminium, including the double-curvature panels - the car was very much a labour of love!)
John was so pleased with how the car drives on the road that he likes to use it for other outings, and now it has been all the way to Skye! We wish Sue, John and the car a safe journey back home to Devon.

Wow, thats some undertaking driving that vehicle all the way to Skye from Devon and back! My father has a Dax 'Rush' kitcar he built himself but I know for a fact he would never even consider using it to visit us on Skye, so im well impressed.

Thanks Nick - I'll pass on your comment! The car is not the first John has built - he also has a Caterham and a Sylva Phoenix (both kit cars) to his credit plus a scratch-built road legal track day car. But none of them were as enjoyable to drive as this little trials car!
