Title: sunday 19th august 2012 local lanes
Post by: supersurf on August 19, 2012, 07:28:18 PM
well what a great days fun

2 cars
vit boy and myself
croc and nev

it was touch and go for me and vit boy in the first couple of flooded lanes we took on water big time
the engine cut out and we sat there taking in water
we started the disco back up again with limited power
got out of the water and took out the water soaked air filter
let it run for a couple of minutes then we were back to warp speed  ;D
which in a disco is about 30 mph   :laugh: :laugh:
we ended up in several flooded lanes today
which was touch and go to say the least
croc powered through them all
i think he must have filled his tyres with helium as the car didnt sink as low as us

the start of the day
