Oh, and the hotel is some gay hotspot with communal showers and bunk beds with romantic lyrics above them. 

  

Exactly how much did you drink??

Enjoy, very jealous. 

US vehicles are pretty offensive overall, my sister lives there and I've seen some pictures of her car, I'm not sure on the brand but it has the size and styling of an Optare Solo

What an experience! Accommodation looks a little, erm, cosy. 

Watching with interest. I need to drive a Challenger at the very least if I ever make it to the states.

Yeah it wasn't one of those. 

Not getting less jealous.

Am very, very drunk in Boston. This is some historically significant boat or summat. I’d like to steal it but have driving to do tomorrow.

More tea...? 😉

if you see signs for hayling island run a mile

 

[motorpunk]

Oooh

I was watching 1 of Dennis Collins's youtube video where he was dropping off a car to be shipped to the UK

The guy he was dealing with said it cost around $800 to ship it over. 

Just a thought...

Good luck Rich! 

 

I've been following lemons since I discovered Murilee Martin and project impala hell.  Awesome stuff 😎

[motorpunk]

Right. First stint done (test day). This is honestly the most terrifying thing I’ve ever done. Zero track etiquette, 115 cars, huge difference in vehicles and a lot of very mental people. Track is fast and tricky. Recommended.

First race session tomorrow.

Try and remember that they drive on the left hand side of the track over there. And they call 'indicators' BLINKERS. 

 

HTH

[motorpunk]

Now. Car is almost ready but still fucked. We must be 20-30 laps behind the leaders already. Am wearing a British Leyland t shirt.

That looks disturbingly like the opening scene of a mediocre adult film involving a "hilarious" food delivery with a hole cut in the plate

[motorpunk]

Currently lying 117th.

Photo of a photo of an upside down Golf at a corner they were doing three abreast…

Get up then man, have at 'em! Maybe BL t-shirt wasn't the best omen?

[motorpunk]

Corky racing. That’s me.

I dunno, some peoples minds...

(OK, my first thoughts were on similar lines, tbh)

[motorpunk]

98th at the end of day 1. Feeling good

[motorpunk]

More pics. Race restarts soon. This is intense. With the HANS device and the seat and cage arrangement it’s impossible to check your blind spot or see much behind you, and the track is like rockingham and cadwell combined.

[motorpunk]

Our hot shoe got us up to 93rd, then I had a drive and went to up to 91st, then some ballbag nearly hit me and my bottle went (any contact is a 1 hour penalty), swapped drivers and he span 360 degrees on his first lap, then served a penalty, now another driver in the car and we are flying again. 
 

I am also a judge at this event and get to dish out weird penalties to other teams. Will post on that later. 

[motorpunk]

This penalty is for ignoring a yellow flag. The miscreant must sign a stack of my books on my behalf because I’m too lazy.

[motorpunk]

Up to 89th, lots of cars now failing.

 

[motorpunk]

Suspension snapped… fuck

Mendable? Spares?
