Bedford Car Club Hangover Autotest Videos

27th December 2009 was the date for the Bedford Car Club Hangover Autotest in Little Houghton. I was to meet Mike B there who was coming up in his Triumph Herald rally car. However I had spent Christmas in Yorkshire where there had been up to a foot of snow.

My Impreza was the only car that was able to get up the lane to the cottages where we were staying. Fortunately conditions hadn't worsened on the 27th and I was able to set off at 6:30am to make it down to Little Houghton for 10am, just in time for the drivers briefing.

What followed was an entertaining days driving, the only problem we had was the exhaust falling off the Herald.
