BEARDY GETS FRISKY IN THE FROST - PLUM PUDDING RACE, BOXING DAY 2010

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

SITE UPDATE - AGAIN

 

 

Numerous complaints of text hiding behind photos for some of our eager readers.

 

Tough. It works fine in Explorer. The fella from BT says the site is sound, so it's a viewer-specific issue I can't help you with. BT can make the site compatible with all browsers, if I buy their pro package and have them transfer the existing content  -  for a mere £1500.

 

I think you will appreciate I'm not doing that.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ICE RACING

 

Well, not really, obviously. With a garage full of parts and ice, Kutuka took Boxing day off and screamed Saaf to watch the Beard contest this year's Plum Pudding race.

 

Turned out we had packed our Southern clothes for naught, and the bermuda shorts and sombreros were in error.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mallory was in th grip of something they call snow. We didn't think they got any this far south. It certainly turned all the civilians on the roads into pathetic pussies.

 

Fortunately, the Mallory circuit staff said fie to the elements, and bashed a track to drive on, sending the silly motorbike things home.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Who would be daft enough to drive a Jag in this madness? Well, only one man is equipped for winter to this extent, our resident walrus Webster. Risking his R1Rs in sub-zero temperatures and the only Jag out there it is fair to say that we was at something of a disadvantage to the 4WD Scooby.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The track was literally just a track, cleared to the white lines only, and anyone putting a wheel off the track was doomed. We liked it, there should be a whole winter series to reward accurate drivers. Despite reduced grids and only 4 races there were soon cars being hauled out of the tyre walls, crumpled and steaming wrecks winched onto transporters, whilst a rather steady green XJS weaved through the carnage, that shock of luminous green against the ice somehow crying out for someone to add a slug of gin to the picture.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

At day's end it was Jaguar casualties 0, miscellaneous weird other machinery 6, which may add some strength to the fuzzy man's credo that to finish and go home to a bottle of red is more rewarding than any trophy. Not how we play, but then we'd probably have gone home with three bent cars, so who are we to comment? We can't do Mallory in November, let alone December in the snow.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Indeed, as the day ended the paddock itself started to claim victims as ramps slid off trailers, cars slithered sideways, and motorhomes got stuck. The trusty Kutuka X300 had no such problems, it turns out the Bear's T1R monsoon tyres are pretty good in the snow...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

AND FINALLY

 

Our Christmas was shit. We hope yours was too.

Grit? What?

Stray off the black stuff and die.

Looks easy, but half these cars had to be pushed to assembly!

Maybe not gin, maybe rum. Mohitos anyone?

Proving once again that so long as you don't drive like a ponce you don't need 4WD for normal winter conditions.
