One of the first 4x4 trials .1962

Post by Bulletproof »

This is a film of one of the first 4x4 trials in 1962. Notice the collar and ties.

No roll cages or marshalls in vests

Things have certainly changed

Scott, remind me to never co-drive for you again (as I did once when I was a bit younger, and I, erm, 'helped' you win :wink: ), I fear I may be asked to lean out of your truck :lol:
