The old fashioned way!
Just love looking at history in the making. Struth, how's the bloke installing wooden spokes into the rim?
If anyone else has some old footage, I'm sure we'd all love to see it.

Certainly great footage, weren't they rugged little cars, imagine driving an ordinary (non AWD) car of today over a steep drop into a river bed like they showed with that clip, there'd be plastic shards all over the place.

Just goes to prove that a 4WD is not necessary to go places. I heard about a Baby Austin that went to the tip of Cape York, went as far as it could on road tyres, then they swapped them for knobby dirt bike tyres, and went the rest of the way.

I don't know which was tougher, the cars or the drivers.
