Off-Roading in £1000 Cars (It went badly)

We tackled a 5-star difficulty off-road trail... and it went badly.
We bought these cheap cars for only £1000 and have taken them on a few adventures, however off-roading is definitely the most silly thing we've done.
Check out the rest of the series:
We took £1000 cars racing: • We Took £1000 Cars RACING

The KA was meant to be a joke. It turned out to be the best at every single challenge they threw at it!

is that why they're calling it like it's an acronym?

I really miss my KA. Some twunt hit it. But whilst it was 'somewhat' archaic, it was great to drive. . Not sure I'd have taken it up a "mountain" though....

That MG stood no chance off road when it’s that low lol I remember having a lancer that was lowered by the previous owner and I was having to crab walk over speed bumps and drive ways. I actually beached the car once on a huge speed bump it was both extremely embarrassing and hilarious lol.

You'd be surprised what you can do with a scissor jack, which is probably in the boot. Jack up to full height and then push it off the jack in the direction you want to go forwards or backwards. Used this many times with a TG Gemini in outback Australia.

I still have this same Astra model, but left handed, not convertible and made by Chevrolet (Brazil, 2002).

I bought my wife a KA identical to this (red, 08 reg) as a cheap stop gap car around 2013 for £1800 with less than 20k on the clock. It felt like a bargain then, but the idea of paying £1800 for a 5 year old car now is mind blowing! I maintain that it was absolutely the best cheap car imaginable. Cheap to buy, cheap to run, almost nothing to go wrong and put a smile on your face to drive. I couldn't find anyone to agree with my verdict on it at the time so these videos are a nice bit of vindication many years later :)
