cyclone with the wind knocked out

I went to Castle Hill hill climb yesterday. This shows what happens when you leave braking just that little bit late. I was talking to the driver before this run and he pointed out the roll bars built into the front and rear screen.
It just goes to show that kit cars have come a long way in safety. Even though he was flipped upside down he only had a bruised ego.
My mate took these pics.

Good photography, spectacular crash, and he did well to walk away from it.

Didn't the Cyclone moulds get sawn up by one of the original partners in the business, in a fit of pique?

If so, that car isn't going to get fixed in a hurry...

Has the bloke in the middle rear, last picture in the series got a really small head or does his large paunch just make it look small





yours, Pete

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Pretty sure the moulds are alive and well and being used down here in sunny Devon. The owners were exhibiting at Stoneleigh two years ago and I think Exeter last year. Project does seem stalled/slowed to a crawl however.

Maybe they were re-created - they were certainly trashed, with a resultant flurry of publicity!
