motorpunk Posted October 19, 2023 Author Share Posted October 19, 2023 * urgent help needed * (How do I change the title btw?) Yeah, I've had a year to prepare, and I'm off on Tuesday.... I urgently need to complete my Colin Chapman look. I have the hat, the yellow shirt, the moustache... I am desperate for a set of headphone as below to compete the look. Can't find anything even remotely close on eBay. Anyone got anything I can buy/scrounge/steal/rent? Please? My fellow team mates are nicely kitted out as Hill, Rindt, Hunt, etc.. anything I can get my hands on to complete the Chapman look would be great. Help!

motorpunk Posted October 19, 2023 Author Share Posted October 19, 2023 That's bloody perfect! I should have guessed that Chapman uses aviation-spec headsets, I was searching for generic headphones. I've messaged the seller who is 200 bloody miles away, I hope I can get a response in time... thanks so much for the link EyesWeldedShut 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

motorpunk Posted October 27, 2023 Author Share Posted October 27, 2023 Awesome little car show when we went for dinner last night. Test day today. There’s a V8 powered Miata in the same class as us, we are gonna be pretty slow here I think High Jetter, nomiST and Crackers 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bunglebus Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 There's a video of the guy from David's Farm on YouTube (anyone remember that) of him lifting a car with his fork lift, filling the tank with CO2 and MiGing a split back together.

motorpunk Posted October 30, 2023 Author Share Posted October 30, 2023 Thanks, but we’re out. It’s 7am on Monday and pissing down and we’re the only ones left on site now. I am wrecked. The winning car in our class literally exploded as it left the track. Much amusement. Crackers, Dyslexic Viking, Dan_ZTT and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motorpunk Posted October 30, 2023 Author Share Posted October 30, 2023 Winners had a Miata with a V8 in it and a crap/brilliant AC Cobra bodykit and a fast food outlet company theme which was fun.
