- Join us on Dawn's first proper drive of our MG Midget to compare driving a Classic to Modern car.
Just what are the differences between a Classic car compared to a more modern one. Find out about the steering, the weight of the pedal springs.

Thank you for watching.
It doesn't matter who is driving, Richard is not a great passenger (and I've known him for many, many, many years!). Great video as usual 👍
I think I must be calmer lately, Dawn very cautious as brakes not as good as her VW Up
I want to see more of Dawn driving.
Thank you , Plenty more of Dawn to follow
Yep, I encourage my wife to drive our Midget on a pretty frequent basis. She does well behind the wheel but is always nervous about it. For quite a while, the photo I took of her while she was driving across New York state was her Facebook profile.
As far as your poll, I'd say a mix of each of you driving is a good path. Either way, have the car out and enjoy your adventures together! Safety Fast!
Thank you , going to be a mix because I would miss driving it, but I think I might have to fight to get the keys from now on.
Driving a classic just seems to transport you back to another time. It's a nostalgia trip.
Thank you , back to a simpler time when it’s about the journey not the destination, we love it.
Love your channel and would like to see more of both of you driving 🤗
More to come, thank you for your lovely comments
Just stumbled across your channel and what a delightful little video, car and, if I may be so bold, driver.
So yes, more of Dawn driving please.
Thank you. More Dawn coming soon, oh and more of the Midget too.
Brilliant video guys. Very smooth Dawn, the MG definitely suits you and you add glamour and panache to the car. Richard I think we should see more of Dawn behind the wheel and an in depth assessment of what she thinks of the ergonomics of an old car and brakes and gear changes etc. Well done both of you 👍
Thank you, sounds like a great idea for another film. Dawn is very pleased with your comments, just when I thought I was the glamorous one. 👍
Hey Dawn and Richard, Thank you for posting another enjoyable video! 😊
For ages I have been thinking about how to mount my iPhone to look at google maps for those longer drives……your as always helpful video has answered my question, I never thought to mount there, thanks very much guys! 👍🏻
Glad to help, funny how we spot those almost life change things when we least expect them. Thank you for your comment.
Hi again Dawn and Richard, Hope all is well. Since my last message to you both I have ordered and returned four phone holders as the suction cups were too big to fit on the small space available where you mounted your holder. By slim chance then do you know the make and where you purchased your phone holder please? Many thanks and kind regards, Kevin
Hi Kevin, the piece that is stuck to the dash is a 3m sticky mount I that came with my Beeline motorcycle navigator. beeline.co/products/beeline-moto-sticky-pad-mount, The rest is a spring clip phone holder. I hope that helps.
Richard
@@themustardmidget Hi Richard, Thank you so much for taking the time to reply, find the link and share with me 😊 this helps a lot and I will place an order. I’ll let you know how I get on. Thanks again and best regards, Kevin
Nice to see a girl involved with car programs .
Thank you, Must show all of you how Dawn is involved with trips out and larger repair jobs.
More of Dawn driving please
Yes plenty more of Dawn driving to come in the future.
More dawn driving
Classic cars makes:
Drivers be drivers and get the feeling of driving.
Modern cars makes:
Drivers not driving with mental (distractions), low mental engagement (automation reliance on parking, staying on your lane, auto cruise control) and becoming more a passenger than a driver.
That is very very true
That is very very true
I know you will never please everyone but I would prefer less music and to hear the car. But at least for Dawn’s sake this is the more modern version with the Triumph engine and all synchro gearbox, the older A-series with no synchro on 1st were more fun to get used to, especially remembering to stop completely before trying to find first!
Thank you , I place music in when the sound pickup has been poor, looking in to a mic dedicated to the engine with less wind.
Nice 😂 I have a blue one but my wife can’t drive 🤪
But she does go out for drives with you I take it.
Your not short :-) just cars long
Dawn driving.
Definitely more of Dawn driving to follow, thank you for your feedback
@@themustardmidget my pleasure. I imagine you both cannot wait for better weather so that you can have the top down.
Definitely better with the top down, unless your on the Motorway headings for Dumfries and it starts to rain
