Uh oh, crashed MY car!

Jonny69 · 11-08-2008, 13:06

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.

Oh, and I won the race

What did you get for winning? And are you able to replace the bent hubcaps? I wouldn't have thought they would be easy to source?

I think my mate has a couple in his stash, shouldn't be too hard to find.

Videos are out there already! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0vTK1G71Ow

You can tell when it happens because it's like rrrrrrrrrrrr... *short pause* thud... rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Here's Rottenpop Russ showing us all how it's done too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zyYZ9TE9Tdw

Looks great! The other car looked like fun too!

Zirax · 11-08-2008, 17:55

That does look like a laugh

Liked the fact you lapped the other guy twice. Its a shame about the motor though. Least it wasn't a big smack.

Fantastic!

I haven't been in it since we put the engine in - must have go!!

Darrin · 11-08-2008, 22:27

That looks like an absolute blast and that little Pop sure sounds nice, mate. The engine note was a whole lot more "HOORAH!!" than the modified that was out there with you.

Sorry to hear about the bump, but when you're out playing in the mud racing, it's got to be expected once in a while. Love to bring you out here and we go a couple laps, you in the Pop, me in the Jeep!! Although, if I did a bump to the Jeep Tina would have my arse in a sling!!

I'm surprised I got away with it to be honest! I was wearing a "seatbelt" though which seemed to make it all ok. Even if it was a luggage strap round the seat
