Wondered where you'd been. I beat you to it on this one Old link
Unfortunately Phil is a member of one of the clubs in the North Western League the same as me, not that I see much of him in a race!

Grrrr, it really irritates me when reporters feel they have to make a cheap crack to maintain interest. "Upturned wheelbarrow with an engine
strapped to it", "wheelbarrow machine". "this thing", insulting muppet <snort>.
Well done to Phil Cooper for breaking the record. Proving it doesn't have to be pretty to be effective.

"Proving it doesn't have to be pretty to be effective" - Phil's has to be one of the better looking Autograss cars. Beauty is
obviously in the eye of the beholder!

Well I've not seen any Autograsser I'd try to pull in 
Well finished and superbly engineered isn't the same as pretty, well not to my eye anyway.
