Saying farewell to my car...

As requested. These are a couple of pics. Jump design was rather poor but not bad considering mother-nature did it and I heard she can't ride a motocross bike for sh1t. Hit jump at 70kph and shaved off about 20kph upon mashing the front of the jump. Flight distance was poor and pitch was a little average too as seen in the landing. I wanted more height so I will go back for more in another car one day (*cough* Andy's corolla *cough*) with revised ramp design. I got a fair few jumps out of it and did a bit more stuff to it. Luckily the wreckers were just down the road and it managed to drive there all on its own to get crushed- just. But don't worry- we were both wearing motorcross gear including body armour and kidney belts etc... and thongs. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Oh and if you are concerned about our 'positioning', we laid the seats down so upon landing we would be on our side laying down to somewhat prevent out spines from ramming through our skull. Oh yeah it was my run-around road car until people kept kicking it. It ran out of rego that day and I drove it there no dramas. It cost me $200 and got abused beyond belief day-in day-out for 18 months.

Yeah bubble-wrap shoes were on the cards but the thongs got voted in instead. Funnily enough I only bled from my foot and nowhere else. The car didn't look that bad from the jumping- tree hitting really hurt it. Geez it didn't want to drive but
