fordnut Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 I would be going if I wasn't working. One of the best meets of the year, should be plenty of material.Quite a few of my mates are racing, one has a used OVLOV and his running mate a crusty MK2.

Jason A Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 My brother in law (Pete The Heat 465) is racing at the lake tomorrow. As previously said, it's one of the meetings of the year, a real back to basics kind of track but definitely a top day out.Have fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pogweasel Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Do they have an event where people smash up antique furniture with hammers? What about burning some old books as a spectator sport?Just for fun, like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

outlaw118 Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Would like to go, but I'll be going to Civil War @ Hednesford on 11th Jan, can't afford to do both this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simmo Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 I am going, but in the interest of balance I will tut and shake my head a lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotford00 Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Sadly not this year, but as it has been mentioned its a great meeting. A fitting end for some cars that might only be garden ornaments until to rusted to be of any use.And for those on the the forum that dont like banger racing, I hope you have a nice day doing what you enjoy!!

Guest greenvanman Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 I am going, but in the interest of balance I will tut and shake my head a lotWhy is it you only appear when there's a thread about banger racing? Isn't there somewhere you'd rather be, instead of trying unsuccessfully to wind people up on here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garycox Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 I'm sure they'd make great garden ornaments, I'd happily add some to my collection (if I had a big enough garden, like )I've got a big stone lion in my garden, it's sat there for years just getting mossier, I've never had the urge to slap a bit of Dulux on it and smash it up a bit...

Every few weeks I could go and have a prod at them, see what had dropped off... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Lobster Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 It comes to something when a crowd of people will spend an afternoon watching other people smash pianos for fun. I'm off to ring the Daily Mail about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, admittedly I am not a prolific poster but I have commented on other subjects that I have an interest in and even if I don't post I do enjoy a great many of the threads. Unless you have been made a moderator I don't think I need to justify my presents here, and if you are a mod I was on topic and not at all insulting (perhaps you are a PCSO type Moderator ? RTFM). I think one of the responses was 'cu*ts' perhaps you could pull him up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
155V6 Posted January 4, 2009 Author Share Posted January 4, 2009 Got back an hour or so,a day spent standing outside in the coldest weather I can remember.I don't think there was anything really rare,apart from a 2-door Mk 2 Granada(from Belgium)& a Mk 3 Cortina 2-door GT(made the one that got squashed in the Top Gear jumps look solid ).I didn't take any pics of the cars that were raced,but I did see these in the car park Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I merely made the observation that you only seem to post on threads concerning banger racing in a way that seems akin to picking at a sore. Still if it makes you happy, go right ahead. Takes all sorts, I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Takes all sorts, I suppose.If I am having trouble keeping up lets look at you for a minute. You are criticising me for commenting on a thread about Banger Racing asking about a meeting that I attended on a site called Autoshite. I could just as easily suggest that if you're so anal about car preservasion you may be on the wrong site yourself. It does take all sorts but don't assume everyone is a stereotype.Edit due to piss poor spelling / grammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
