Back to the trials. I do these over the winter months in our Austin 7 saloon. This particular one has been used in trials for nearly 40 years now.
One of us is usually close to a class win, a few modifications make them surprisingly good off road.
It's a great day and surprising how much fun / scary it can be at such low speeds.

Fiat bedpans by Nick Liassides, on Flickr
By brother's Fiat (and long-suffering first wife) on their wedding day. We made a drunken raid on the Hospital the night before so a friend who was a nurse could nick a load of those weird cardboard bedpans for us to tie behind the car. Tin cans were soooooo last decade back in the late 80s. Dodgy jackets and socks not pictured.
The shaving foam left an indelible remnant burned into the micron-thin paint of the poor li'l Fiat
Bro wasn't too chuffed
Haha, that brings back memories, I had a MK1 Golf as my first car and my mates thought it would be funny on my birthday to daub my car with the classic 'cock n balls' using shaving foam. When I came to clean it off it left the same burned in remnant of the outlines. Fiat bedpans by Nick Liassides, on Flickr

Bro wasn't too chuffedNo way was anyone going to mess my car up on wedding day! By the time it appeared after the reception (it had been well hidden!) they only had time to tie some cans on the back and a quick foam on the rear window before my foot was down.
The cans drove us mad, so we stopped and took them off. The rear window was fine (LOL).

Isn't it funny that the subject matter of those slides now hold no interest but the stuff in the foreground does!
Indeed.I've just spotted something in that last photo, but could be an ultra rare find, if it's what I think it is.....?
The light met.blue car immediately to the right of the VW van...........looks like it could be one of the Tourer conversions of the BMW E3 saloon done by Langley Motors in the early 1970's....they only did about 10 of them......!!!!!
