Ruby just gets better and better 😃 sounds brilliant too.

Well done! “Smooth is fast” 👏👏👏🏁

Saw you driving back down the A34 whilst teaching my Gf to drive, she pointed out a cool car out in the mirror and as it goes past, turns out it was you and Ruby. Looked a fun day!

Im glad you liked Prescott…I have been going there for 38 years but as a spectator. You must go to the VSCC Meeting on the first weekend in August when you will see several hundred Pre 1940 cars and a grest number of Vintage ones of course! There are many heroes and lots of drama so that would be another video for you, This year it is hoped to be running but circumstances can change these days. A look at the BOC Event calendar will show the variety of meetings held there throughout the year. Thank goodness Ruby survived….i have seen a few “bad days” over the years. As always, stay safe…avoid grass and the magnetic barriers!! 😎😎😎😎😎Richard

Hi Ped As a life member of BOC glad you finally made it to our beloved club. I think I had mentioned this to you in the past, maybe you will now enter a competitive event🤔 Mrs P and I used to compete there amongst other venues in our Morgan’s, and until August 2019 we’re marshalling at Prescott before our move to Dorset. Can you imagine the single seaters weighing in at approx 400 kilos with 700 bhp with a time of 35.41 seconds.🤭 Very addictive. The Drivers School excellent introduction for first timers, great value.

😃 Listening to the lovely throaty roar of Ruby WITHOUT sport mode on, makes me realise how ridiculous all those pops and bangs truly are. Surely they're a waste of fuel? I think you know my view on noise by now, whether it be the manufactured pops and bangs or manufactured engine noises piped into the cabin. Totally unnecessary!!

Great job…thanks for bringing us along..am sure you had fun…and yes the pops and bangs not needed in a such a serene looking environment 😅

Great video, Prescott is an awesome venue 👍👍

Nice one sir! Have been to Prescott a couple of times as a spectator along with Alfa Romeo owners club. It’s a super venue, quite cosy with a special atmosphere. It’s worth popping in to the Bugatti museum too!

Really enjoyed this thanks, great to get an insight to Hill climbing and share your experience.

Awesome stuff Ped! All highs, no lows wheel- twirling action from start to finish.

Loved my training day at Prescott. Not much room for error as the Ferrari driver found out on his first run when he locked up at the first sharp right-hander and ended up in the tyre wall.

Very enjoyable film Ped. Very impressive improvement throughout the day too! Well done :-)

What an amazing day for a motorsport event. The weather looked absolutely beautiful. You and Ruby Roadster seemed to be right at home on the hillclimb and I thoroughly enjoyed watching!

Another great video well done on all your runs its a shame we couldn't see Ruby doing the climb as if we was watching on television great filming on both cameras thanks Pete never disappointed 🙈🐾🐾🐾🐾👍

Now that looks like a proper fun day out. What a great experience. Fantastic video, spot on

Looks like fun. Love the pops and bangs!!

That looked like a lot of fun.Well done.

ASBO hooligan 😃 Great to see Ruby having a play outing.

Very enjoyable video and great engine sound once sport mode was turned off. Heard my first electric Mini today which accelerates rapidly and sounds just like a Formula E race-car. I can now see the appeal if the range can be increased to at least 250 miles in winter conditions and the price drops by 20%.

I was genuinely thinking you were going to broadside ruby in one of those tight bends. As it was she just escaped with a wee scar. Hillclimbing is so difficult! Great vid Ped.

Good to see Ruby again. Been going to Prescott for years in various different cars and still can't get it 100% right. I love hill climbs, you get lots of camaraderie and I'd imagine, for a KZfaqr like you, lots of contacts for some very interesting cars.

It's a nice little track, have been fortunate enough to have a flying passenger ride up when Morgan have had one of thier events there. That drop on the left hand side always focuses attention though.

Great runs Pete, really enjoyed the video. Thanks.

you did very well and I could see you getting faster every time!

Brillant, Peter! Looks great fun. Harewood Hill next then? Best wishes from the Wirral.

Brilliant film!

Naughty naughty Mr Asbo! Looked like you had a ball. Top stuff.

Nice one….I’ve been up the hill many times attending the Peugeot Sport owners club for about 8 years…very nice place and very technical 👍 I used to get 57’s in an old 306 gti6…so good to compare the times.

Hi Pete Great video mate a lot better after you moved the camera’s around 👍👍👍👍

Great video..................went to Prescott to watch a couple of weeks ago, rally weekend, decided to give it a go next year only live 12 miles up the road.........

You had fun Peter and that’s what matters, your new skill showed you getting better and faster. Great video and see if you can do another hill climb in the future👍👍👍🚘🚘🚘

Fabulous. Only ever been when there isnt an event but looks a great track ( if thats the right word) . Quick even without your pops and bangs. Nice one 👍

Been to a few race meets at Prescott - had a cousin running a Lola single seater - and seen a few mishaps in the wooded section and cars on three wheels around that tight uphill left hander. I think my highlight though was seeing (or hearing) The Beast of Turin doing a run up the hill at their “La Vie en Bleu” event.

Loved watching the hill climb video, but personally I do not understand the obsession with "pops and bangs " that people have with their exhaust systems. So from my point of view, I'm glad the stewards said yours were too loud. Probably not a popular opinion, but mine.

That is a very tight hill climb Pete ! And there is a huge grade change and you can see it on the vid. 🍻👍🏻🇨🇦

I enjoyed watching the Video. I like the latest new Bugatti

Good evening pal, I’m playing catch up after a few days up in Whitby, Scarborough and York. Trying to get all the latest under my belt before we head off to Cromer for another few days.

Great video of the day. Was a great day. Good to see the GT4 get a mention and managed to sneak into a couple of frames. 😉

Awesome vlig pete,,thathillclimb looks amazing,great content, hey stay safe,

looked like great fun 😀

GREAT VIDEO AND AMAZING CAR AND DRIVER!

Well done mate great job 👏👏👏

What a cracking little video 😀👍🏻 For the amount of runs you had it definitely seems value for money, (dare I say better than a track day). One to put on the to do list 😀

I spent many years photographing the action at Harewood Hillclimb, as you say so many cars running old and new. get yourself up the M1 Pete.

Hi Peds 👌

Filmed my first hill climb at Shelsley Walsh last weekend, it was a 60th anniversary event for Jaguars and Minis, great experience with a friendly crowd, loads of cool cars.

First! Evening all back at home in London. Had a fantastic week in Scotland just gone. Hope everyone is well?

Looked like fun. Liked: "Smooth is Fast" comment. 👍

Such a fun video! So cool to be able to see this from your point of view! Sir Pete have ya been able to replace the brakes?

Nice work ped!

Thank you from New Zealand

Ruby sound so much better without the you-know-what.

Heehee, looks like a load of fun! You improved by 6 seconds or so, so not too shabby. But, just as a by the way, the fastest time on the inaugural day in 1938 was 50.70 seconds, so you'd better pull yer socks up mate! I love driving fast on narrow roads! It must be something to do with the risk factor.

Great content, never been but I have friends that do. On the list for next year 👍

So which was the bigger brown-trouser moment then, this or your little off-track excursion on the rally stage the other week? 🤣 Looks like you’ve got the bug and can’t wait to see some more!

That looks so much fun! Knew after the first run you'd be in trouble for the pops and bangs. 😂

That actually looks a lot of fun. Very technical.

Top Video Sir. More of this type of video please.

Sounded lovely

Looks great fun Pete and your Mini is an ideal car for this type of motorsport, tut tut for getting an ASBO on your first run ( what will Mrs P say )

That looked brilliant

😂😂 I thought on that 1st run your in for a rollicking with those pops and bangs 😬

Well done, a big improvement of around 9 seconds. Ruby seemed suited to the event as well.

I remember seating in an ambulance as a member of St John Ambulance between the first & second hairpin bends in the trees waiting for things to happen back in the 80,s everytime i was on duty i never moved just enjoyed the day

Great that you try all these different disciplines! You could really do with a camera assistant filming more action from the outside. Loved it though. Cheers

I've had 1 more run up that hill [3 meetings]. I got my times for the record from the video too

Love to do some hill climing with mine r58. Only have no hills in holland😅

Was nice to hear Ruby during the runs without your voice over :) - sorry not sorry

Nice and entertaining

you will have to try Shelsley Walsh Pete its only 45 mins from where I live.

No second chances in hillclimbing but massively exciting. Come and try Doune!

I've been up there in my 2CV (250 miles away from me!) but would like to try it in the Giulia. Harewood is an hour away, so perhaps I'll try that first.

Good on you Ruby 👍 popping and banging and getting an ASBO. 😂. Hill climbing is brilliant and it’s great to see Ruby stretching her legs

Someone’s had their Rice Krispies with a bit of snap, crackle & pop!

Looks like great fun 👌😎...you did well whas my idea 🏅

Too loud? You're in the middle of nowhere. UK really does suffer the high visibility wombles.

After lunch camera posits better methinks. Excellent vid mind.

I'm a relatively new subscriber to PetrolPed and really enjoy the content and high production quality. You do a great job. I do have one question for you PetrolPed.... I get the "Petrol" bit. Is the "Ped" a shoutout to a cycling passion too? As a MINI JCW owner AND cycling enthusiast, your channel appears to check all the boxes.

Hi ya mate🙏

Those pops and bangs lol

So much better without the forced pops and bangs. Guess I’m lucky to still be running a NA engine

Evening all, great vid Pete. Would love to give that, question is would it be 2 wheels or 4? 👍

Always thought a modern diesel with the right gearbox would be perfect for hill climbing as its more about torque.

I have to say the pops and bangs are a bit obnoxious 😀. Ruby sounds a lot better without them. At least you have the option with or without so best of both worlds.

Hi Pete.

I think in the right car it would be fun but it's no Pike's peak LOL.

Give Shelsley Walsh a go. Local to us. You will love it!!

Don’t know how you can drive with your arm rest down! My r56 Cooper s arm rest gets in the way of every gear change 😂

Noisy lout attends Prescott 😜😉

Why don't you come to Kop Hill Climb in September? It's not timed and we're pretty much full but a good day out. Google us.

What’s the highest gear you get into,do you have to tell your insurance company ?

Too loud for a race track… 😱 Still, Ruby got a good workout there. 👍

Can I ask how long it took you to become an advanced driver with IAM

Sounded like u was on a clay pigeon shoot lol

What spec is the mini?

Evening all 👋

So much better without the ridiculous gun fire👍

Anyone ever tried it in a EV?

Sorry,but the sooner those annoying pops and bangs are outlawed the better.I have been a petrolhead all my life and love a nice throaty exhaust note on a car,but those pops and bangs do my nut in.The second run with sport mode off was far more enjoyable to watch,and listen to.
