Default New project

Well here's my latest project.
On bank holiday Monday Warstone are having a
Caravan race day.
To enter the race you must have a Caravan.
Well here's the one i made this week.
Still got to put the top coat on and some sticker's for the windows
But its nearly finished.
What do you think ?

NICE. now you have a place to keep your extra rims/tires/ spurs/ oils and such. if you built it then you may as well use it as a trailer..lol

But you know what you should do, since the caravan is so big, put another engine in the caravan...i bet you would definatly win the race

better made the trailer hitch solid if you do that!!! the trailer bay be apt to cross the finish line firt, considering im sure its lighter than the buggy, even with an ESP ported 29cc from Daves.lmao
but you MUST GET VIDEO.. i would LOVE to see that one. what a hoot that would be.

THAT.IS.AWESOME!!

make sure you have a weak link in the hitch somewhere so that if it flips and drags it breaks the weak link and doesnt tear apart your buggies rear end

would love to see video!!

its down to you loy really! the circuits in uk have been well sourced and supported by uk racers.
it can be done with a little homework and passion! the difference maybe a national scene as support. although warstone have developed theyre circuit alone by pure passion derived from a bunch of guiys wanting to have a decent place tro race.

theres plenty of farmers with land used only for grazing etc. that could do with extra regular revenue from a car club (or just a few bashers wanting to expand theyre hobby).
just make the point that you want somewhere out of the way that wont disturb anyone and get a rental deal written on paper! once the farmer starts seeing loads of interest and cars coming through the gate the rent can misteriously start to creep up.
all i will say is, you dont get t5he full benefit of the expense and true performance of these things till you start racing them[>:]
then you realise how much bu115hit is talked about them!!
