Manchester classic car show ooops
Went to the classic car show at the Trafford centre saturday and sadly saw this happen although I did think he was getting closer to edge each lap
.... The guy on the mike was lucky he didn't get punched with some of the things he said to the driver when he was moving what was left of the
car

Those blocks of concrete do not look very forgiving, a bit more circumspect next time.

A shame that  - I REALLY love those GTM's, and I WILL have one one day - I've been very close a couple of times after a couple of
glasses of wine on a Friday night with Ebay open :innocentsmilie:

definitely my favorite car of the day and it did go well, it looked a lot of fun but a bloody handful,.................. one of the first car mags
i ever bought was car and car conversions back in the 70s ..... for the younger forum members there wasn't an internet, i know thats hard to
believe, the only information on what people were doing in the privacy of there garages was in mags

Traditional 1380cc A+ engine/DCOE 45 setup on one.
Honda twin cam in the 2nd. 
If the CCC one looks a handful, try it with 150bhp engine in the rear!

I have a couple , one is a real basket case , needs a total rebuild but could be for sale. the other is usable , it has an MG Metro lump but
isn't as quick as my old Mini pickup but getting there. I remember the old CCC article, I have a copy of it , must have been one of the very
first car mags I ever brought

Not at all, in reality while I dont know the history of the show or display, a solid wall of them would be much more forgiving, as I expect would the
plastic water filled ones.
