Footage of Kyle's roll racing crash, they think the right hand drive confused him and he went from 3rd to 2nd, lit up the rear wheels and straight into a telegraph pole, wasn't even his car.
This is quite an interesting watch, tales of possessed 'demon' cars where the people that come into contact with them either had terrible luck, mysterious accidents or died soon after, sounds like b*blocks but that's a hell of a lot of coincidences.
Took some parts over the garage today.
In those bin bags are it's original wheels with Rainsports, it's currently on track tyres covered in marble pickup, even moving it around at 20mph risks throwing you in a ditch on a wet day.
And a very heavy dead midget.
Turned out to be driveshafts...
He's not long made the transition from filming to racing, I've only seen him drag and roll racing on a track, I've never seen him on the street before.
My first track day was at Llandow, the briefing guy said "If you treat this track like an oval with a chicane you will crash".
After three laps I realised you only really need to brake for the chicane because the rest of the track was just an oval.
Oh great, no point rushing to finish the Clio then, no cool photos of the Dog Kennel with the sea on the background either, it's one of the main reasons I'm getting it back on the road.
Still no idea how he managed to do that, it's not a corner that's either fast or particularly difficult, he either kept accelerating into the ploughed field, or his brakes and steering failed at the same time.
Yeah the 'would be nice' bits are stuff like rear arb, PMS shifter, bucket seats, harnesses, also need a new headliner, but none of those bits are essential for getting it back on the road, so at the moment I'm only spending money on 'definitely need', once it's running with an MOT I'll start...
Saw a white R34 today, couldn't get a pic as he was going the other way.
It was utterly battered with scuffs, scrapes, no spoiler and looked nothing like this one.
Driveshafts please
Kiv in Bristol, I was going to message him for the other parts but I thought I'd try in here first.
You're a good bloke, I didn't tag you to hurry you along or anything, it was so I didn't end up getting offered a load of looms I can't buy because you're already sorting it.
I wasn't going to update this until there was more progress, but I realised it's probably a good place to try and source some parts before I start buying them off internet randoms.
The Clio went to the garage a couple of weeks ago partly to fill up a space in the yard, but mostly so it gets...
Then on the Saturday night Euan off his tits got lost in a field only yards from the camp site, everyone else more hammered than I've ever seen before having pedal races on broken bikes, utter chaos, that will always be the greatest CSF weekend of all time.
@Flat Eric We watched them unload it out their car, it had Sybian written down the side of it in bright white letters, then we heard her riding it and moaning later that evening, witnesses include me, Filters, his mrs Emma, Ryan and his mrs Kim, Ryan's brother Nathan, plus other randoms.
He also let me down, I borrowed Filters expensive full face race helmet so he could take me out in his fibreglass portaloo, never f*cking happened because he's a prick teasing whore.
