    Tell me about it, I actualy don't think I would drive it these days, not until I had atleast a good few months practice and constant wheeling under my belt.

    The scaryiest part is when I think back to it, I had to reverse down that part in the second photo 3 times and keep hitting it harder (as I was unlocked), back then I was giggling about it all.... now I cringe! I remember seeing the sky a lot and trusting my instincts much more then I would in this present day!

    I loved that car, and miss it even more

    Those pictures do not do the tower of terror justice.......that track is rediculous and I am pretty sure I will never drive it.......even the chicken track is very full on

    Grimace, you could be right about being on the first part of the track we are talking about. The start (ar at least where we went in) does have a left (going down) and a right (going up) so maybe it is the same place. You'll just need to come along next time to find out

    Aye, Mick

    The pics Grimace posted were from the lower section that we play in, I dont think you have driven it Mick so you may not recognise it I drove left of that line when i did it the first time and then if you remember Pete and I did the line to the right under that tree (and i have scars to prove it) the first time we ventured in to the new creek section. We walked the buggy playground which is a big 2mtr rock step and then drove out the dog leg up to the top track (which then heads left down to the new creek or up to the puddle Steinzy drowned in ) Sound familiar?

    Still in two minds on heading back into this Hate the thought of the disco being off the road for another 2 months )

    Hey Philippe,

    Yes your right. We had a technical meet in Micks garage last night with Louis, Grimace, and myself and worked out where it was while straightening a track rod!

    I dont think its too bad as you go further. The track does have some nice sections.

    Do you know what did the damage to your power steering yet?

    This is the high line that Philippe is metioning





    and this is the exit slope



    Grimace, this is some of the delights higher up...







    (thanks to Mick for the pics)

    Rgds
    Pete.
