    TWC being the "unofficial pace car" was super awesome!!! How an anyone drool over an E type Jaguar at Goodwood when you have a 1972 Invacar racing on your backside. lol. I also loved the video of TWC next to that seemingly abandoned SD1 in London's center. How Ian finds these perfect snapshots are beyond me but i love them. I'm proud of TWC and all it's accomplishments! Might need some new tires after that race track run though. Smiles.

    I used to think that the Invacar looked like a 'Bog On Wheels', but the intervening years and sentimentality, your odyssey Witt TWC has allowed me to fall in really, really, like her / them, for the fist time. Back in the 80's, a drummer i knew used to get a good few pieces of his kit in his fathers; that he used to pinch to get to rehearsals... a cheeky Scouser, in a Bog On Wheels, "Bombing" thru the South Liverpool streets... Life just ain't like that no more...

    TWC really has improved. Cruising at 55mph with throttle to spare, overtaking and confidence to travel on the motorway. As you know, I drive in London regularly for work. Whilst watching the video, I realised that TWC would almost fit beside me in the space beside me in the cab of the coach. I'd feel safer in my 15m coach in London than a vehicle TWC's size. Couldn't agree more with your comment about my "colleague" (same parent company) not letting the car turn right. Great footage of your Goodwood laps in TWC. Will the "pace car" logos be staying?

  • @chrism2386
    @chrism2386 5 лет назад +1

    An absolutely brilliant pair of videos Ian. The fact that you took TWC to her birthplace and managed to buy badly needed parts to fix her, from the original factory, is fantastic. I wonder if that's the longest journey an invacar has made?
