I know one or two who will be doing this meeting.
It will be nice to see some cars that bend easy

My brother in law was in to this when he was courting my older sister. As a snot-ape I used to get to wander round the pits and go for rides in very silly cars. Could have been worse.

A few pictures of some of the cars that were slightly bent at meetings i went to.





We had to push down on the back end of the car so the driver could get out has the car was nearly folded in half.
Can you guess what the last car was?
A clue is it was a proper old british car

From the wheels, a rover of some sort. Wouldn't have like to have been in them when they were bent mind!

Was it a daddy rover ??

My neighbours do it. When I was a kid I managed to tag along on a couple of occasions. Great fun

It looks as though I must be unique on the forum as I've never done this nor do I have old friends or neighbours that have done this.
It looks fun but unfortunately I've no anecdotes to share.


....... just a thought ..... does the paperwork at insurance renewal time for your road car get a bit hard work when you reach the question about whether you've had any accidents in the past 5 years, whether or not your fault - with a follow up of please describe the circumstances - you'd be there for months!

At a guess I'd go for the Rover P4 and have you ever seen the gas turbined P4 its in the Science Museum in London.

Oh and have you seen the price of a P5 now, bet whoever used his for banger racing regrets it.
