I enjoyed that! My husband had a 1934 Morris 10 4 which he bought for £12.10s and I learned to drive on it, .something of a challenge. We once crossed the Pennines in a snowstorm and the windscreen wiper packed up so it was hand-operated - by me. The floor was full of holes, mostly on the passenger side, and there were some tense moments in wet weather when we ran over puddles - splashes up the skirt spring to mind. The passenger seat fixings were also similarly dodgy and if Bob turned a corner with his typical enthusiasm I would be tipped over. However, that car taught me how to double declutch and despite many encounters with many cars we stayed married for 42 years. It must have been love.
We're glad you liked it, Judy. That's a great story about the snowstorm - we bet you were cold that day! And good teamwork on the driving - perhaps that's the key to a successful marriage!
@@classiccarbuyer352 Hi - another Morris story, same car: we had a puncture on the moors and I was given the task of rolling the tyre down the hill into Todmorden to the garage. Another freezing day but we warmed up in the pub while the tyre was fixed. Many cars in our married lives, motor rallying in Africa etc and I still have Bob’s classic BMW2002 Touring tii 1973 in the garage. Will be in touch.
I own a 1932 Two-Seater. The gearbox is what is known as a silent-third, which gives direct drive from the flywheel/clutch to the rear axle, so there's no third 'gear' in the box. That's why it's so much quieter than the straight-cut gears of first and second. You really shouldn't thrash the old girl so hard. It's like asking your 92-year-old great-grandmother to run as fast as she could when she was 16. These pre-war Minors are very well engineered and reliable. I'll be taking mine up to the Scottish Highlands (for the second time in a little over a year), next week. I'll be doing 200+miles a day at an average of 35-40mph. I'll probably end up doing 1200-1500 miles over the week, but the little car will happily do it. BTW, you say the steering is dreadful, I can only assume there's something not right with it. The steering on my car is very light and I can place the car exactly where I want it on the road and going around bends. The side-valve engine tends to run hot, but it shouldn't overheat. I climbed the Rest and Be Thankful (a first gear climb up a long, steep incline) in 28 degree heat in June last year and it didn't overheat. One more thing; you need to double-declutch and rev-match as you drop down the gearbox to get a smooth gear change.
It would have been more sensible if you had been given proper instruction on how to drive a vintage car and then you wouldn't have been making the comments that reflected your need for advice.
So lacking in empathy. This car is about 80 years old, and he's treating like a modern classic. It almost comes from a time when a red flag was walking in front of it, and he's going to blow up the engine, not to mention the gearbox. Then "it's rubbish." when it's far from it. All the gear, no idea. Who cares what you think, you've offered nothing of value. No research, no historical input, no evolution, just hammer it up the road and talk rubbish. All so out of context of the vehicles and their time. Your sponsor needs to upscale!
Slow down , you are driving in a 1930s car not one that's from your years , a kid in a classic car what could go wrong , just about anything , and it will if you keep reving that thing as hard and pushing it around the corners
Try if you can, to ease up on the blasphemy or if possible, stop it all together. There are probably more than a handful of viewers who love the Lord Jesus Christ as their savior, and will be deeply offended. I'm afraid it's disrespectful and shows a lack of wisdom and immaturity, which might one day cost you dearly, particularly if a prospective employer happens to be a Christian.

@@JudyRawlinson We look forward to it! Thanks for another great insight into your motoring life
A Moggy is always a pleasure to drive no matter what year. But you need mastering double clutch

Young man needs to be more careful with gearbox,

Bro u make great content
Thank you! Glad you like it
The front windscreen opens for cooling
I think I may have seen this before. Is this an old video?
Don't even rev my modern through the gears,like you are doing to this ninety year old car.
