Modified Nationals Photos
« on: May 27, 2007, 08:42:29 PM »
Well, it was bloody wet.

I was in Hotel Mercedes with its heated leathery bed, so all was well, but I think several others awoke in a cold puddle. Oooh.

Was great to meet up people not seen in ages and met new people too - Wayne, Bone (momentarily), Rocky and others.

Managed to break quite alot. Had to do an emergency rebuild on a couple of solenoids (who says you can't rebuild them?!), broke an engine mount, so it was a slightly vibratery drive home, and suprise suprise, I kinked the body above the rear arches. Oh, but it hops on all four wheels so well! Cracking weekend though - I even got hit by a bullet with my name on it. The freakiest thing ever. Anyway, enough waffle, some pics...

Car of the show for me - wrong colour, but hard as a very hard thing






Sideshow stacked it on the speedway track


Loves the juice...


Representing. Well getting wet and hopping a bit.


How do you get the wheels off?


Bubble on 25's




Rics ride, slumped in the mud




Genuine Abath. Lottery number price tag, no doubt




Just caught my eye. Simple, but spot on






Suddenly, hundreds of people started taking photos of my Benz




Derrie and his twelve batteries




Rocky in an unfortunate moment of superglue palm. Poor fellow


The weather was terrible, but still a great weekend. Will look forward to doing this one again next year - hope we can get a few more cars up next time...

I'm even more ashamed I couldn't make it, seeing as I live 10 miles away....

Sorry Derrie [hangs head in shame]. Let's hook up in Birmingham next week>
