Was looking at the pics thinking that black mx5 looks mean then realised it was an S2K.

what da farq was that torrie doing? I can't even tell where that is on the track from the photos?

Looks much drier out there than I was expecting!

Good seeing the Lancer out there, they are Very rare these days. had the same model as my first car. It was an ex rally car and I loved it .

Great pics. You got a nice range of cars in there.

I thought the funniest thing was I looped it when the track dried out....

Lancer was awesome, new 5 link made a huge difference I'm told. JW pulling out a 46.99 probably proved that.

Glad I decided not to be a sook and get out there, no new PB but a fun day.

About to look at Tyrie's photos. Still spooked by that movement in the 306 rear axle mate...

I have seen some offs in my time, but WTF! How does anyone manage to get that far off the track....

Can someone fill us in on the story?>
Oh wait, silly me.... It's a Torana...... A Aldi trolley would handle better...

NOT me..... That car was written off last year.....

What the red one?

bit of a tank slapper coming through the esses and just as it looks like he had it under control it speared off up the hill. I assumed he had broken a steering linkage, but he then proceeded to drive halfway up the hill and back onto the track. A few scratches to the front of a quarter panel but nothing serious from the looks of it.

What the red one?

Yep.....
Then wrote off a turbo AE71 Corolla wagon I built too in November.... (running gear from the gold AE86) Only had it finished for 4 days...... Rego on a thursday, written off on the Sunday (Major head on acco with a Landcruiser towing a caravan)

I wrote off 3 good cars in 6 months....

Bad time for me.... lost alot of money

I still havent recovered, thats why you wont see me at the Hillclimb for some while..... No cars left, going to court, laywers, etc leaves me pretty much broke.....

[suby4130]

Holy shit mate you have definitely had a bad run of luck.

Still learning how to use the Go Pro --- But here are a couple of vidoes.

52 sec run , a few errors , braking not ?@#$$#@&^ , always crap starts , etc etc etc

A wet run , has a bit of everything ---- bad start (as usual ) , slides , swooping bird , missed gear change --- but it was a lot of fun.

My most spectacular run was not recorded --- didn't push the button hard enough --- bugger . It had slides , off-roading , etc etc
