sitting in the mighty micra at wimbledon recently waiting for the final to start my wife rang so i thought i'd take a snap whilst i had the phone out - super bilge alert, surrounded by the stuff!

Hi all I've run a job up on oval chat forum. I'm linking it here as i know its a decent job and i'm sure some of you know class 1 /2 drivers or deisel fitters looking for a decent job in these troubled times. Post one reads "Bit of a long shot this, but we're looking for 2 -3 new staff to operate 26 - 32 tonne specialist Jet Vac and Combination Tanker trucks units in the Croydon area. I'm posting this as many of you will have class 2 licenses, and may be looking for work in these troubled times. Responding to emergencies and completing scheduled jobs this role entails driving to various locations and using very well specced trucks to remove liquid and solid waste from a variety of environments. Full training is given, you must have a class 2 license (class one an advantage), be capable of physical work and looking for full time permanant work. The potential earnings are very good, lots of overtime available at time and a half, we're very busy pumping out flooded sites, Global warming is helping us lol! pm me for more information, forum admin please contact me if you have any concerns regarding this post. " Post 2 reads "Ok a bit more general information for you. The company is www.hydro-cleansing.com Lots of info on the website about our range of services. We have 10 class 2 tankers and a class 1, a few 3.5 ton vans.

He's signed up for the WRC or IRC for 2010, don't remember which, but will be good to see how he cuts it with the european drivers

Hi painters, I'm after a spanky skin for this years world final, if you can paint one and render it nicely then please pm me. Thanks in advance xTx

Pucka!

Race on Sunday, work on Monday..... As for saving Mk2's for nationals, most of the rated drivers would rather use a mondeo, look at the PRI world for instance.... Bombers are what banger racing was a few years back, some drivers took wrecks home but a lot didn't. Perhaps the ORC should look at introducing a US style demolition series, where lots of strengthening is allowed and the emphasis is on destroying everyone else.

Was good after all, stalled heat 1 around lap 10 and couldn't restart as battery was flat, semi blew up as too hot around lap 13 in heat 2 and finished the Final 8th, not bad for a 1.0 ltr micra with a slipping clutch against a bunch of wizzy honda's and rover's. Only damage was a puncture and a few scratches mostly cos i couldn't catch anyone to hit! As Allstar says how'd you n Knobster get on?

Looks like i wont make it now due to a dodgy clutch in Pauls Transit, hoping to still scratch into wimbo for the evening meet tho, good luck Magic and Knobster!

my bilge for arena this sunday. May be my last outing for a while, i'm taking redundancy and losing my work based storage as a result. I'm sure something will come up tho! Thieving no good scumbags nicked my trailer recently so thanks in advance to Firestorm for transport;

Luverly stuff Swindles

Yh, enjoy your birthdays

I love you

Would appreciate if it could be uploaded here Cheers Toby

For that beauty of a limo there were a couple of them at a Firecracker a few years back, the Gypsy Crew version and Boris 575 versions were spectacular. Check out this website http://www.atozofbangerracing.co.uk/ as a good starting point, scroll down the left hand side to find the caddy section.

looks like my "improvements to 09 season" wish is coming tru, welcome bk old timers

Looking at the post 5-6 below this one "problem after putting in new tex" you may have entered the chassis name incorrectly.

Great stuff Swindy, even better if you raced Tuesdays, I'll shout yr Jolt fee if you want m8! I think Shandy meant "Please program the physics realistically so that UkDirt admin will include the omega with the Unlims and allow us to race it" and Stig meant "Thanks for helping UkDirt to represent real life Unlimited Banger Racing events, where any heavy RWD car has a place!" missin ya xTx

Something about this van just made me want to race it, anyone fancy modelling it?
