DH is still trucking on home Hurdy, awaiting his second boat of the day no doubt.  :whistle:

car got some very strange looks when it went back out, espeically from the organisers  :grin: :laugh:

dont think people believed it was fixed with bits from a scrappy.

whats more, they were coilovers,  :lipsrsealed:

 tracking and camber done by eye  :laugh:

 oh and we had to do some pikey arch rolling too  :smug:

So what happened?  Contact at 100mph coming through Flugplatz.

A nice man signs the Golf where he hit us:
