Bet that got your attention! Went to the Hotrod Hayride at the weekend and signed on to put the car on the dirt oval to whup some ass. Was a touch slippery out there in the mud and down on the far corner I ran a bit wide and smashed it down the barrier Here's me on the dirt with not much opposite lock: And afterwards cleaning the mud off the windscreen so I could see out to drive home Anyway, back home I took some pics, nothing too serious. Bit of mud: Bit of a bent wing: That's my GOOD wing damnit! But it should pull out no probs. Back wing got a bit smashed up but should glue back together since it's fibreglass, got a spare light somewhere I think: Oh and two mashed hubcaps: I reckon that was the best £5 I ever spent! There's mud everywhere, interior is caked, it's all up the headlining, all over the back window and it's packed solid underneath. Most important was I won the race Video here: You can tell when it happens because it's like rrrrrrrrrrrr... *short pause* thud... rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Don't you dare get the wing straight again. Bash it roughly to shape with a hammer but leave it rough. Racing related rough bodywork is for winners.

Did you leave following a black roadster rod?
If so, I think we passed you heading the other way at around 14:45-15:00 on Sunday...Perhaps a bit later. We were heading back from the Bulldog Bash.

Top grammar tips! Bought = purchased. Brought = relocated Lose = misplace/opposite of win. Loose = your mum

Excellent laughs all round there - pity about the battle scars but as said, leave 'em as proof of scalp taken ;D I'd only be washing it if the weight means a performance drop fella

how did it get inside, through the floor boards or was the window open Both windows down and every time I went past the other guy I got sprayed down ;D Did you leave following a black roadster rod? If so, I think we passed you heading the other way at around 14:45-15:00 on Sunday...Perhaps a bit later. We were heading back from the Bulldog Bash. *n Wasn't me, I was home by then and I'm over t'other end of the South in Kent. Don't you dare get the wing straight again. Bash it roughly to shape with a hammer but leave it rough. Racing related rough bodywork is for winners. Matt WHS and don't wash it either ;D No washing going on here You can see where I've been parked because there's either clumps of mud or the rain has washed a ring of mud round the space! Bonus though, Terry from the Executioners found my lost lens on the track

Yeah, if seen heading north, or on the A34, or in convoy with a matt black roofless roaster, a black model A roadster and a blue model A roadster then it was me The amount of people that savagly cut me up on the way home was amazing! I screamed blue murder at some land rover driving, mid 60's bint!! don't really get road rage but that weekend i must have had 10 people nearly write my car off, and I'm talking inches here!! Just rough it back out, ball pein for the win but club hammer will do. You've seen my front wings jonny, plenty of character in them, although they may be coming off soon.
