The Granada coupe, He has a Model Train channel on you tube - everardjunction. His layout is exceptional also.
Oh yes, that's a superb car
Yes exceptional is the right word for the Layout...
He does have a couple of videos of the Granada hidden among his model railway videos, as well as one or two about a Rover SD1 I think was owned by one of his friends.
Yeh...we all watch the same stuff lol
He has a very nice canal full of old shopping trolleys.
This is the exact reason I watch more CZcams than TV. 👍
Same
What's TV?
@@richardjames1431 I abandoned the TV 43 years ago. Haven't missed it one whit.
TV is dead, I only watch it when some world shaking news event is happening, like Trump attempting a coup d'état or for the olympics and a few other sport events I am interested in. (And even then I watch on the internet and not on an actual tv receiver)
Damn right !
Greetings from Kuala Lumpur,Malaysia. I can't believe Jon Coupland,the owner of that remarkable Proton 1.5GLS Saloon Dark Knight has won the event! That has since became a talk of the town today across all of the local media outlets.
*37:06** That's not just any simple Proton. That's a truly rare Proton Saga 1.5GL "Black Knight" Special Edition that's only exclusively for Great Britain. For the limited 201 unit of Black Knight, this one probably the last of its kind.*
Really? we Malaysian's don't know about that 😅
Nicely put together video of a great day out. Thanks for the comments on my Granada, glad you enjoyed it. If you want the keys you know where I am :)
Ah, I thought it was yours, Richard. I have been watching from afar (although I think that does sound terribly wrong, doesn't it?? :) ) Anyway, greetings from "down under" & I look forward to seeing more on EverardJunction
One of the best layouts on CZcams
A real treat for those of us who couldn't attend Ian, Excellent range of cars just incredible.
Proud to have a Malaysian Proton Win the event. thank you Hub Nut for the coverage of the event.
Thanks to all those who are dedicated to preserving old unloved metal, which never fail to produce feelings of nostalgia for times which seemed so permanent back in the day.
After driving from the Midlands to the south coast for my annual holiday I decided to pick up some coffee from Sainsbury's. A gentleman in front of me had a hubnut shirt on. Proving that this is the most popular CZcams channel in the UK.
We NEED an event like this in the Netherlands too!
Ever heard of Elk Merk Waardig? Their meets are full of unexceptional cars.
Luv this 'Unexceptional' concept. I fit into that category nicely. 🤣
Ironic that these cars are/have become the exception.
And on the lawn of a castle no less. Sooo British, luv it!
If they did BAFTAS for commentary at a car festival meet then surely Hubnut would have a shelf full. Absolute quality from Ian with his knowledge and enthusiasm. 42 minutes of pure joy and entertainment. Brilliant, brilliant stuff!
Wow, you've powered through the editing there! Thanks to you both for filming.
Man, I really wanted to bring my 19 to this. Excellent to see all these superlative vehicles.
Yes, I can imagine your "car boot sale"-style narration and music playing over the event, almost expecting one or two "parts" purchases along the way!
I think it would fit your channel like a glove if you did this [next time around?].
You could put something of an emphasis on to early onboard computers in old 80s execs for example, or maybe even pre-computer tech...I think it was Rolls Royce that produced this amazing Britain-wide scrolling map back in the 1920s, as well as rudimentary navigation on cassette systems.
Alot of untapped potential for tech in old cars...
This is great. Almost as good as being there. Your enthusiasm makes it all work as always
+1 Thanks for posting Ian
LOVE these walk-around videos, your knowledge of the unremarkable car is surely unsurpassed. Wonderful to see Myrtle looking so well shod with her new wheel trims
Brilliant Video, Miss HubNut has done you proud with her camera work. Nice to see the Mighty Dacia again too. Really enjoyed this video
Thanks, was cracking to drive it again.
Ian, you are like a child in a sweetie shop.....just love your enthusiastic coverage and ""exceptional"" running spec rundown...magical!!
Great to see Melvin the Metro there Twin Cam
A bloody good report Ian & Mrs HubNut. Lots & lots of cars taking me back to my youth, when cars had individuality unlike present times when sometimes it's hard to tell one make/model from another. Keep up the good work team HubNut!
I was having difficulty identifying a lot of those as I was an adult by then and "modern cars" were of no interest other than a means to get somewhere in comfort like a Granada or P5B. Cars from Childhood or earlier, a different story, 30's, 40's, 50's and early 60's. This is generational, young kids of today will be drooling over the EV's of childhood in 50 years.
@@tonys1636 You're right. The ten year old grandson of a friend thinks certain models of Tesla are wonderful.
Festival of the Unexceptional, where strangely enough a large number of the cars are quite exceptional.
Glad some one else thought this
Exceptionally unexceptional ;-)
'once driven forever smitten' has some great cavalier content
I watched him, he loves his Vauxhalls! He fixed up his wrecked Vectra and has his Omega Estate for sale.
@@frothe42 his knowledge and spanner skills on them is mental
@@louisjames1062 I missed his videos so I subscribed to his channel!
The Scott brogue does not bother me, I understand what he says. Mind you, most of us in the US would not, but I have friends here from all over the world!
Yes, Dougie is a legend!
Aw, thank you for giving George some love! There’s plenty more suspension work to be done too. Nice to see the Scirocco managed to squeeze in too. Was lovely to meet you both!
Lovely video with lots of very nice cars and some of my other favourite youtubers as well, furiousdriving and twin cam. I was hoping you'd run into Steph too, but apparently you missed her.
13:03 The rear part of this Audi is quite similar to the rear of the Dacia 1325 Liberta hatchback, made between 1990 and 1996. Now I know where Dacia got its inspiration from for that car.
It amazed me how distracted you were by other cars that you walked straight past Steph's car 😂 Thanks for the video of the event, I managed to spot all five Volvo 480 that were attending, and all those cars of Car Twitter folk and CZcamsrs. Let's hope there will be no more travel and quarantine restrictions in 2022 so I can visit from abroad in an unexceptional car.
I know! So embarrassed...
So many vehicles! The range, but most importantly, the condition, were outstanding!
The Hillman saloon you featured we received in the US as the 1971 Plymouth Cricket! The Avenger might be rare, but I believe the Cricket is even more rare! The Mitsubishi Lancer was the Dodge Colt in the US for many years, and was very popular. The Renault 11 was the Encore, with a standard 1.4 litre 4, 1.7 was optional. Right at the time of the AMC alliance with Renault, which I'm sure you know the outcome of that!
Loved the story of the Toyota Tercel 4WD, which we also got. Heartwarming to hear that the Tercel you tried to save lives on.
It looks like both you and Carly had a magnificent time, and thank you Sir HubNut for this presentation of exceptional vehicles, including the reshod Myrtle Matiz!
The Lada Niva headlight wipers made me chuckle! 😁 Fond memories of growing up and seeing the first 'highend' cars get the headlight wash and wiper treatment, when a neighbour had those on their car there was envious sounds from everyone else.
When we eventually had them on our family car my dad was like thinking he was some kind of lord or something?😯😊
Looking back they really are chintzy and pretty much useless.
23:01 So good to see a SAAB 99 again; my dad owned three between 1972 and 1991, all carburettor (not the fuel-injected EMS) and all with less-fancy wheeltrims. Wiping the rectangular headlight lenses was a party-trick he did sometimes demonstrate; it uses a push-pull cam mechanism to make a motion more than likely inspired by the rink action in a winter Olympics curling contest!
I had the EMS.
The Commer van brings back memories. Especially of the day when I pulled away up hill and the twin back doors opened and the load of eggs (and person sat with them) started to slide towards the open doors! It never stopped so fast in its live.
Yeah brings back memories, my Dad had a Commer Luton van with a ten foot plastic aerial which were the rage back in the 70's along with Mickey Mouse and Pluto graphics on the front and a La Cuckooracha air horn. I recall a child running out from behind an ice cream van and my Dad stomping on the brakes, we all nearly went through the windscreen the huge van stopped instantly despite or because it had huge drum brakes on the front. That thing had a lovely cushiony ride, I think it had coil springs on the front where the equivalent transit and other commercial vans of that era tended to have leaf springs. And the wipers parked themselves just under the roof line.
That’s Jagalfa’s lovely blue 504! Great video team Hubnut! Almost as good as being there!
I forgot that early Peugeot 504 vehicles had built-in head restraints, similar to what AMC did in the US 🇺🇸.
Wow !! Fab tour (full of breathless excitement) top camera work Miss Hubnut !!👍😀
What a brilliant video really enjoyable top job on the commentary & well done Miss Hubnut on the camera duty 👍👍👍
Thank you Mr. and Miss Hubnut! These car show videos are always great. Couldn't help noticing a short cameo appearance at 9:30 of a Toyota Avensis diesel. A car which is exceptional for all the wrong reasons.
You make a superb team, Ian's enlightening descriptions of the cars and Miss HubNuts very professional steady camera hand, I usually feel a bit seasick watching 'on the move' filming but this is very smooth 👏
Love the way Miss Hubnut was getting excited about the Sherpa campervan. You just know you will end up with one eventually!!
Lovely collection of oddballs and unexpected rarities, I would've loved to gone, maybe next year. You two have a great chemistry together, thank you for taking us with you! 😊
...my imagination of paradise: nice folks, marvellous cars and two Toyota Tercels! 42(!) minutes of best entertainment; strolling around with you is quite a pleasure! Thanks Mr. HubNut, thanks Camerawoman! ✨😃✨
Toujours un vrai plaisir de voir ce rassemblement. A really great show ! Wonderful cars.
Believe it or believe it not I bought my wife a little Daihatsu move and it was an automatic absolutely fantastic condition with a blown engine managed to fit a Daihatsu charade three cylinder in it and she had it for three years wouldn’t pull the skin off a rice pudding but she absolutely loved it happy daysThanks for the video Ian really enjoyed it
You've most probably forgotten more than I will ever know about the world of motoring through the ages. Great stuff HN!
12:25 Marvellous to see the Dacia ... and it appears the current UK plates are almost an anagram of the original Rumanian ones, bar just the 2 letters!
Thanks, we were very lucky there.
Extraordinary selection, actually it is expectional in every way,
excellent camerawork by Ms HubNut. Love the special colours
on the cars and the castle/grounds are epic.
Great fun, much to enjoy, thank you HubNut👍
Brilliant video. It's a shame they are not producing Proton cars for the UK Market. Very good reliable cars.
Looks like a great show! Tho my cars although very unremarkable are too new (2011 Honda Insight & and Dacia sandero)
Yeah, I have a 2013 Sandero but it would look totally out of place there.
GOOD NEWS!
New as it may be, in comparison to what is on offer at the show, the Dacia would still be very much in the spirit of the event. Maybe in 30 years time!
You may have new cars but you do your own maintenance, I like that.
PD!!! Master of disaster! I love your channel. ❤️
Great walkaround of the show, many thanks, really enjoyed!!
Oh how I've missed these. Great work Ian and Miss HubNut!
Missed this type of content, fabulous work Ian many thanks
Really enjoyed this video, love seeing these cars.
Diolch to you both for documenting an amazing event! So many delightful vehicles seldom seen these days.
Watched this all end to end, thoroughly enjoyed that, nice vid!
Wow, I really must get to that next year!! Thank you for bringing it to us through the power of video, brilliant Sunday viewing.
That's a brilliant show! So many interesting and varied cars. Thanks for the video Mr and Miss HubNut!
Great to see the Tercels, Its what made me watch you in the first place. So many good stories behind all the cars shown!
Truly a feast for the eyes! Thanks for taking us along.
Watching this brought back so many memories for me, thanks to all involved.
Enjoyed watching all the lovely car's. Thank you.
Thank you for this nice overview of rare ordinary cars and forgotten cars.
Stunning nostalgic selection of vehicles. Great video coverage on it and keep up the great work and content 👏
Amazing video - AND - just spotted my old VW Scirocco G736 BLH! (two down from the V-plate Maestro Van). I bought that for £800 in 2009, sold in 2012 - drove it all around Europe. Great to see it still on the road!
Apparently it's Wrenching Wench's car and there's videos of it on youtube! How surreal!
Thank you Mr & Miss HubNut, very enjoyable.
Reviewing a Lada Niva in the future would be great. They're one of the best 4x4's ever made.
New Nivas are still available on some markets like Hungary, Serbia, etc.
@@szilardtoth8814 they still make it in Russia ofc and whatever
I could have watched hours and hours of that. Fantastic video, thanks!
I do love seeing this kind of stuff. So many "where did all the XX's go??" cars in that lot.
Thanks for covering this, Ian👍
Very enjoyable, many thanks for a superb tour of the show. What a gathering of exceptionally unexceptional cars :)
My mum has a 1999 orange Renault Twingo with an electric Glass sunroof, power steering, ABS and an original Renault Radio
That was brilliant Ian, what a fantastic turnout.
What a Magnificent setting for such humble but equally magnificent cars. Love it! - Brilliant video! and excellent camera work too. Very enjoyable.
It’s all about the Astra at 07:30 for me 😉. Excellent report, well done for getting it edited and out so quickly too!
Thanks for this Ian, excellent report. I would like to get to that show one year!
A wonderful tour. Thanks, sir! 😊
What a wonderful video. Genuinely enjoy. Thank you from those unable to attend.
thank you and Mrs Hubnut wonderful
Really special video, so many cars from my younger years in the 70s and 80s that have all but disappeared and been forgetten. Thanks for showing us them and thank you to all the owners of the unexceptional.
A big thankyou to you both for taking us around this event with you, very much enjoyed and appreciated! 🙃
Great report Ian. First time I’ve been and was a great day. Will be going every year now!
Such a fab array of cars and soothing Sunday morning viewing , thank you 😊
Thank you for another classic video
Thank you so much for your efforts in putting this video together, it shows that alongside bags of enthusiasm, your job is hard work!
I really wanted to attend but couldn't, but am determined to next year. This video made up for it, thank you again.
My favourite cars were the Pug 504, 305, Tercel and Visa.
Thank you Mr and Miss Hub Nut, when ive had a bad day you guys always cheer me up.
Ms HubNut's dachshund dress is fantastic! 😀
What a wonderful wonderful video thanks to you both a wonderful trip in nostalgia greetings from Scotland 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Lovely coverage, you two. Thanks for achieving the oft failed challenge of being both brief and comprehensive.
What a fantastic show! So many cars that you just don't see any more. Thanks for bringing them into our homes. So many memories. The icing on the cake for me? A Lada Niva, G reg in red! I had a Cossack back in the day, same age and colour. Right hand drive ones are now very rare. I loved it, but boy it was a thirsty old Hector! A superb video!
Thanks both, really enjoyed that, I must make an effort to attend next time.
What a superb way to spend a wet sunday afternoon,watching hubnut wander round a great show.Some great memories of all these cars
fantastic video, there are some truly exceptional cars featured, my personal favourite has to be the mark 4 zodiac, i love them despite the general disapproval that seems to manifest itself whenever they are seen/mentioned, its amazing seeing some of these rarities and its a great tribute to the superb efforts of the owners, one of the best hub nut videos, thank you
I usually enjoy your videos but this one was the best of the best
Thanks for sharing your day with us Mr & Miss HubNut, some great memories for me from 1970's when I was a child.
Great video to really capture the event, thanks Ian!
Enjoyable tour of the cars and superb camera work.
Loved every second.
Wish I could have been there.. Thank you Ian and Carly for sharing the experience with us.😊👍
Great report, watching now.. loving the Twingos! Remembering the one I had
Love the content & your relaxed manner. It’s like you knew half the people there!!!
love this video, ive had so many of these cars, the bluebird brought back memories
Congratulations from the West Coast USA.
Great coverage of this awesome event.
Love these shows. Only seen them through the powers of hubnut. Many Thanks.
Superb camera work Miss Hubnut.
I'm definitely going to have to go to this event next year. What a fantastic event.
Really wanted to get there myself - but your report was excellent. Thanks.
