- After many years of loyal service the G is taking some time off. Maybe in the meantime I've found a worthy replacement? Maybe i've purchased a heap...only time will tell.
In this episode I stop by for some laps at a rad trail jam and introduce the new MTB transport solution!!
TRC Podcast latest episode can be found here, where we chat more on this!:

FINALLY, got rid of that Rust bucket you might actually be sociable with your mates now and go further than the 2 mile radius from Wilkins Manor, 😂
Hahahahaha. Oioiiiii
😂😂
Genuinely thought it was gonna be a brandnew G-Wag... THEN... was probably happier when I saw that Rascal
Drove a pick up version for a while. The most dangerous thing I have ever been in! Steady away mate.
On the other hand... drifts...!
A van that comes with a passenger seat…. with an engine in it. A seat with an engine…. and a van without an engine to go with it. You could take out the seat with an engine in it and race it down a skate-park trail by attaching it to a skate board, except you’d be sitting down, obvz. A new sport then. A sport where the powered skate board comes with its own seat and transport to the park. Why hasn’t this been done before? Great vid btw, one of your best 🎉
It's all about character, and it's got that. Just don't go anywhere with hills. The compartment under the floor is for the bodies. "The carrycot" (because you take your baby around in it). Love it.
Love that dude....engine under the seat tho....proper genius... 😁🙌
Very cool green shagwag 👌
Love the Surrey Hills even though I’m from Cannock Chase Staffordshire…..
I’m loving Pvan 😍 it’s pretty cool if I’m honestly saying. Definitely get a draw under the floor running the whole width of the van, a drop down on the side doubling up a seat bench also, but definitely keep the rack on top 👌🏻👊🏼
Done!! 👊
Full length roof rack and a snorkel...😎
The smaller the van.....
Its a great base for a microcamperbuild.
Tent box on top is a must 👍🏼
I'll buy it off you mate. I only live like 10 mins away
Fantastic the van of heroes 😂
I spent £850 quid on a citreon dispatch, drive it for three months took me to Spain across to Croatia and up to Norway. Cheap vans are life changing 😂 r.i.p Jean Claude dam van
Hahaha. Such a good name
Need to put Jerry cans, shovel, sand tracks and a beefing Jack on the in the roof rack also ammo box to make it look the part
Thats screaming out ollie does a mini mtb van build 😂 I'm sure Blake will happily help out
He probably would!!
This. Definitely this.
As long as it's some wierd like Fiat -style van
Dude, that is EPIC!!
So nice that you opted for a cheap van. It would’ve been so easy to have got a tricked out VW or Sprinter, had a company turn it into a mobile luxury bike hotel on wheels for you, and posted tonnes of content to pay for it.
Instead you went for what most of your viewers would see as an affordable option! Something that is fun, different and totally relatable to your younger subscribers! Top Job!
More of this please!!!
I use to have a suzuki jeep and I had it for ages and I said to myself when it breaks down I'm getting rid but it wouldn't break down it just kept on going an going 😂😁🤣soft top brilliant 😅
Straight through exhaust. induction kit and chop the springs. And with all that green. You could get some scally wags to graffiti it in a jungle scene.
Rad van Ollie. Keep the roof rack !
A-Team van dude, you know you want to! Get it painted!
😂yes!!
@@owilkins23 looking again maybe the scoobydoo van ha
@@Leest0n or the a team (lowercase a) 🤏
That van needs "free candy" written on the side and it would look perfect. Its even got specially made limb storage.
Loving the carry
I like it! it's awesome - keep the roof rack!
I’m pretty sure that mini van’s got a Patiis scooter engine that runs on pure balut juice!
Pahahaha. Balut juice!😂
Keep the rack dude! That van is sick! 😂😂🤘🏻
Had a Bedford rascal once. It was ace for doing endos 😂
Van is brilliant 😂😂
Love it great little thing ,love the colour too.
Thanks!
Ah dude that van is the ultimate trail buggy
Van. ❤
Super sick van love it oily 👊
Been looking at these recently, proper quirky little things and I’m sold on getting one at some point 😂
The roof is crying out for a tent ⛺.
Brilliant little vehicles.
Don't let the engine overheat, they can suffer with cooling issues.
But nice one👍
Yeah I’ve been trying to not fart whilst I drive it
I've done a few miles in a Supercar(ry). You'll, ERM, love it. Nice content, love a rambling video on the tube 🎉
They are a lot of fun to chuck around although get used to feeling like you are about to tip over - we used rag around in the bedford rascal version using it as our pool vehicle for climbing trips as students in the early 90s - based in the Peak, we made it from Portland and Cornwall in the south to the Ben in the north, west to Wales and a couple of jaunts out to Font. You could easily fit 8 in it and because they were wedged in, they did not get chucked around too much! When only 1 or 2 up, we used to carry a couple of bags of sand for some low down weight to reduce that tipping over feeling/reality.
Hahaha ‘reality’ 😂
Ha ha that’s not what I was expecting. The banta van is sooo cool 👌🏻 love your so down to earth and buy old cars. Very me 😂
👊👊
the roof racks dope! my grandad had rascal when I was a kid I can't count how many times it was on 2 wheels
Hahaha. Terrifying!
Roof tent 👌🏻
Yeah. That’s my favourite thing about sitting on the wheels of a van. That turning radios. 🤙
I love these!! Freakin Mint bruv
Love the van
Ah Great trails and a Mental little van. I bet she feels like she's nipping on. Just don't slam the brakes on or you'll be doing stoppies
That would be insane! 😂
I bet you go out and try it now.@@owilkins23
Nothing is more expensive than a cheap Merc 😁❤
Great van! Build a pull out stove in that gap in the floor, and stick a roof tent on it and you're sorted!
Love the Suzuki Carry, JDM nugget!
I used to have a Carry, you're going have some fun in the dirt with that thing, get that arse end swinging and it only stops when you want it to.
Only drawback, besides being the size of a tuna can, is it ability to get "bogged" in 2" of sand over hardpack. A bag of cement over each wheel well fixes that, and gets the back end swinging even better 😂
Hahahahaha! Knew when you described it that it was one of those vans! Practical cars are for boring people
Here in the US, that thing would be $15,000. What a blessing you got that so cheap! Need me one over here 😂
No way!!
I wouldn’t doubt it! 😂 our market is gnarly here. The truck version of the Carry is super desirable. Just looked it up and the average cost of a Carry here is ~10k. The van version seems to be way less common than the truck too. Your low mileage would certainly make it more valuable 😂 a very cool unit 🤙🏼 love your content btw! The ADHD is so relatable because I’m totally a space cadet myself 😅
Yes Oli the carry is well sick
tentbox on the roof would be ultimate fun
Imagine it falling over 😂
I have one, if you wedge the wheel between the front seats leave the bike standing up it fits in perfectly. You can even fit another one with the wheel wedged between the passenger seat and the side door
Yes!! Carrygang!
Spin the bars 180 and the bike is magically shorter.
Anything is good if you're in it buddy. Such a legend. Van is perfect 👌
actually love that car, i´d prolly get some spray cans and make it white with black decals though :)
Nice little vehicles those! I had a Mazda Bongo for years: bigger than your Suzuki, but still mid-engined, rear-wheel drive with the engine access under the seats… had a 2.5 V6 engine though! Drank fuel like a barst, but purred like a cat by a fire.
That car is so so sick
Find some 13" minilite wheels for the vaaan 😍
Cheap shitbox cars/vans are the best. Me & a mate recently did a 300+ mile roadtrip with 2 bikes & all our gear in my £400 nissan micra 😂
Long distance might be out of reach, but the “lean green bike machine” will be the sweetest ride in town for a while yet. Keep the rack and get a Blake-style tent for when you need to camp out at Dyfi or anywhere it takes a carry long time to get to.
Hahaha. Everywhere!
I would do 600/800km surf trips in my old Carry, kick back, drop a hot one and enjoy the scenery at a slow pace.
One bang 😎
Suzuki is awsome dude. Van life 😅
Hey Olly Wilkins! You gotta keep the roof rack to carry the jetski to the races! Ride ride ride!
😂
Liking the pea green wagon. Do hope you get G back on the road. Sad day when that goes.
It’ll be back. Don’t you worry!
lovin the Brockham footage dude nice sesh, even better to see the lesser spotted Jimmy chillin out what a legend!
Get Jimmy on the POD!!!!
🙏🙏🙏
Surely not the g wag sad days 😭
The van is awesome. Small and maneuverable comes in handy. Big bikes though, so maybe a roof rack? Cheers on the new PEA GREEN VAN!
Loved seeing you ride with Joey G. Wicked little van, hope to see it at Wind Hill soon!
Looks awesome, loads of fun. A small lift on some springs and some rugged off road tires would be cool. Pull out hob in that drawer space and a roof tent for the lols.
Tempted!!
Nice Olly!! You could get one of those rear mounted vertical bike racks for the pull up door and get a removable back seat for some shuttling! What a cool little van!
Mate, loving that van!! 🎉
Thanks!!
Sick Jam and Community! That's what it's all about... 🥰
I love it man, what a sick van! More and more I Keep thinking I wanna work less, ride more do more interesting s**t instead of spending my money on a "nice car". Love it dude please don't ever change 🤙
😂😂😂 That's brilliant you can take Jono on a mystery tour now 😂
I'd put a slider in the back for the bikes. If the space under the deck in the rear isn't for spare tires, I'd put slide out drawers, one each side. Nice Ride for sure! Congrats!
Drawers would be good huh!
The van needs lifting a bit and some off-road tyres/wheels fitting, keep the roof rack it's cool!!
😎
Like the top gear 4x4 rascal
@@russellknight3344 the Dirty Rascal! ❤️
Sick little van she’s got potential 👌🏻
Love the love for the kids and girls at the trails. Van needs a TRC wrap.
awesome car oli! 🫶🏼
keep the roof rack
What a rig! 😊
I remember talking to you about this day make sure you give her a bloody good send off and if you want to see how far she can jump let me know I'm your man for that! 😂
Top video, always sweet to see you blasting some trails and that Suzuki is beyond top notch 👌🏻 don’t see many like that over here in Canada!
I imagine it would look so SO small in Canada!! 😂👊
Loving the new smoker 👌 roof rack rocks too 👍
Japanese rear wheel drift machine
“You can take the wheels off but that defeats the object of a van”…
Yes!! All the people in T5s having to rebuild their bikes before they ride them. It’s a nonsense. 😂
Fix and keep the rack. Col van,Olly!
Now thats a whip 🤘
Lovin the new whip! 🔥🔥🔥🤘🏼
That new whip is cool as shit, dude.
Great van, really jealous at the moment 😍
Get one!!
Olly, stick a Hayabusa engine in it!!
Great content as ever and that last jump at Brockham looks huge! Raised a smile on a bad day where some crease nicked my son's bike. Looking forward to more G Wagon action but in the meantime you can have huge fun with a big block K truck. BTW the potential draw space is for the version with back seats. Keep up the good work.
Ahhhh that makes sense! Thanks for watching!
New wheels on point Olly! 👌
Thanks! 👍
mate such a sick car got the respect the shoice
A. You was robbed 😂
B. Get a roof tent 😂
C. Really eide alloys 😂
The day the G wag is gone is a very sad day
It’s not gone. He’s going to get it fixed.
Keep the roof rack!
She just needs a set of nice wheels and its TRICK ❤
"Mightycarmods music intensifies* it's a nugget!
I like your English Racing Green mini wagon. You could easily build a little bed platform. Will you have the G-wagon painted with the other work?
I might well do yeah! Gonna get it looking prime. It’s never let me down. Need to keep it alive!
