Steve Jones and myself well remember going past a modern 4 x 4 VW that was unable to get up the snow covered hill in South Molton, Devon, whilst going to our start hill in a VSCC Exmoor Trial a few years ago. It had started to snow heavily as the cars left the start venue. We got to our start hill only to find that the marshals had not managed to do so. As a result the event sadly had to be cancelled.
Whilst the Austin Chummy demonstrated superb traction in the snow, the single windscreen wiper didn't cope quite so well. Going over Exmoor in heavy snow I was standing up and leaning over the windscreen clearing the snow whilst Steve struggled to see where we were going.
