    A nice in-car video of a 1964 Cooper S doing the Sweet Lamb stage of Wales Rally GB this year, with speedo and tacho in camera view:

    As ever with a classic Mini, there is almost no damping to the speedo needle so it swings +/- 10mph and more over jumps. They're still hitting 80mph down hills probably too slippery to walk up, so all credit for bravery.

    Anyone not familiar with Sweet Lamb may not know that there is a village near the end of the stage called 'Far Kinnell', which I'm sure is what the driver is saying over and over again at the end after they nearly come a cropper on a big jump, as the alternative would be NSFW, so he wouldn't have said that, would he........?
