Anyone recognise this car or driver? - clue: the car is held together with lots of cable ties

Funny, i spun in exactly the same place

Wow they've extended the track alot since I last went Karting there, the bit where he spun all looks new.

I think i know, but i'm not saying The lack of a dashboard gave the game away. Probably a weight saving idea!
Looks like a really nice track

Heh, he corners like my mum used to when playing Outrun on the Spectrum - that is throwing head around to make it steer harder

Looks like a fun circuit - nice and tight Hopefully I'll be able to get there next time.

Yes that fell off last year I think

If it doesn't need it to go faster why bother putting it back on I say!

Have you fitted a reverse Joel, it looked like it at the end there


JoelP - 13/8/06 at 08:32 PM

i was amazed how fast it stopped considering it was going backwards, for a moment i was sure it was gonna get the tyre wall! I let it keep rolling so i could straighten it up at the quiet side of the track!

In the interests of weight saving, there are a few things missing! The dash, because the clocks were mostly for the old car engine, the screen due to drag and mot requirements, both seats because i seem to have grown, and there must've been 25 or 30kgs in them, and most worryingly, the tunnel cover - i forgot to refit it. At times like that, its nice to know its a professional prop!

Mark, you would've been impressed with the number of cable ties ive added since last time!

Theres another vid up now,
