 Few shots of tonight's meet. Quite a few I haven't seen before so that's what I snapped. First up it's a swing to the left and this ride of the proletariat, a Lada estate. |

 The work that's gone into this car is incredible, inside there's an LCD screen where the ash tray once sat that looked factory fit. Classic 80s meets the 21st century. |

 Finally with darkness drawing in last but not least this late arrival, bit of 70s American muscle. |

Maybe the owner's a forklift driver and feels happier going backwards whilst carrying a load. |

Maybe the owner's a forklift driver and feels happier going backwards whilst carrying a load. Remember seeing one or two fitted to the front of 4wds' for manoeuvring caravans and such, easier than trying to reverse one apparantly. Bit gutted I didn't make it but Friday is always a PITA to get out of work anywhere near on time, and yesterday was no exception  |

Mechanic's rule #1... If the car works, anything left on the floor after you finished wasn't needed in the first place  |

Well, yes... but why does it need to have a towhitch mounted on the front end?? Right, this got me thinking to the point that I lay awake in the small hours pondering the solution. So, after many hours of research in the library wing I believe I have found the answer the world has been waiting for.... It's the optional badger culling kit. Seen the Dambusters? It works exactly the same. Those two additional lights behind the grill produce two beams. You steer the car until the beams converge on the badger's head. At this point you are perfectly aligned on the badger, accelerate and the tow hook will bonk the badger on the head, giving a clean, quick kill. Do I win a Nobel prize for this? Disclaimer: No badgers were harmed in the formation of this theory. Retroade in no way endorses harm to badgers, or any other woodland creature. In fact I rather enjoy growling at the badger occasionally. |
