MightySprocket Posted November 19, 2008 Report Posted November 19, 2008 tidy looking bangers who does all the sign writing?
jamie Posted November 19, 2008 Report Posted November 19, 2008 Great night, 75 ish cars for the allcomers. Did anybody see 190 "Pikey's" estate? Quite simply the best prep on a banger I have ever seen. Every nut and bolt, engine and even the underside was painted. It looked like all the bits must have been taken off, painted and put back on. Even had stitching in the seat! Must have taken ages. Did anyone get any photos of it? Good pics there. Some great looking cars on the night, Gouldy's was awesome under the lights. The Worm looked cool too. Nice one in the stock car Luke, they were pretty lively all night with a large entry of cars.
LUKE261 Posted November 20, 2008 Report Posted November 20, 2008 thanks mate it was a lively nite 4 the stockcars, my favourite banger for me that mite had 2 be carl goulds mk2 granny that was fookin smart. dan klyn did the signwriting i believe (the answer 2 sumbodys question) and he signwrote quite a few cars for that night. i shall bring my anglia out next year for some osfdc rounds, for those of you who are missing me lol
Boreham Posted November 20, 2008 Report Posted November 20, 2008 what a damn shame...... Mk1 Granada's are very cool motor's.... a waste.... I think... If it were a damn Bluebird I'd enjoy destroying it.....
mk1escortmad Posted November 21, 2008 Author Report Posted November 21, 2008 As requested some pictures of Pikeys mk1 Estate, There was rumors going round the pits that the car owed him 6k in total (2k to buy the clean mk1 shell 2k paintjob) and had been sandblasted before it was painted, so it had basically been restored to be raced?now I love banger racing and seeing ANY car getting smashed up on track but even this seem slightly wrong, but his money and he certainly put it to good use
rallyesport04 Posted November 21, 2008 Report Posted November 21, 2008 dont get me wrong i love the oval scene it was there i got into the old fords i still enjoy watching the osf's on track. as a kid i used to love seeing the grannys wipe the floor with other trash on track but seeing a mint condition granny get put in the fence is sole destroying love the pics wish i was there
jamie Posted November 21, 2008 Report Posted November 21, 2008 Thanks for the pics. The underside is amazing, and no one even will see that on track! It looks like the every nut and bolt match. The attention to details is immense! It went out in the DD too I if I recall correctly!
red-rum816 Posted December 14, 2008 Report Posted December 14, 2008 all i can say is why, when i done bangers £100 tops for the are some gloss paint thined down with petrol and away u go cant see the point in spending that much on a banger just 2 wreck it
caprinerd Posted January 5, 2009 Report Posted January 5, 2009 when i was running the bangersa there were guys that would pay £2000 for a roller to race but they use to strip out and sell the parts off and reckon they would make £4000 profit and then there was the money for wieghing in after win win to me, but all the motors i rced were rotten or crap anyway but there is no way id pay £50 for a banger use to get given cars to clear out the way
red-rum816 Posted January 5, 2009 Report Posted January 5, 2009 i am thinking about starting the bangers back up again, but only do it every now and then because i do miss it, start off with the light stuff like nudge and spin and rookie bangers at spedeworth good laught.
