Default Gentlemen - Charge your glowstarts....

Just a quick reminder for all Nitroheads to get their cars ready for saturday.
Nicads on charge, glowstarts on charge, tools packed, etc....

I would also like to mention that this hobby can be dangerous and would not advise bringing along young kids or dogs.

**** Please check what frequency others are on BEFORE turning on any radio gear, we would like to keep the cars in one piece (although that has never happened yet, in all the years i've been doing it)

If anyone needs anything, text me today!!
07989 408401

if anyone has a footie, or frisbee, bring that along too - i will pick up some nibbles. - might as well make the most of the weather

roll on tomorrow:-

PS: Was going to run the car in today, but just realised the date!!!!

All charging as we speak!

I've only got 1 litre of fuel, should be plenty though.

Had a great laugh today...

Shame the old car wasn't running to well, well done Dazza for finding the needle in the hay stack, or drive shaft in the field

Fozz, sorry mate, get it down to ABW for bodywork repairs
