That was very thrilling for sure.... all happen just in front of me (in Surf blue Mini) and I'm still amazed that we all got thru Paddock Hill in one piece!
I have to say I thought all mayhem was going to break loose looking in my rearview mirror !!!

That would have been exciting.

I think this is the footage from inside the Anglia. I would rather have been in the mini.

That's what you can expect when your car has been left standing for nearly 5 years & then you expect the poor old thing to work like it did when it was new :-)
