Watch your cars

Hi, over on the P5 forum there is a warning about an All Rover Banger Race
meeting at Ipswich on July 21. I think it is worth repeating here. This is on
ebay at the moment, so they are starting to gather cars already:-

At these prices you can see why they are nicking them.

Thanks Colin. Wheelclamp: ON. Who knows how far they are willing to travel....? :roll:

The good news, at least for us, is that it's P4 and P5 ONLY.

P6, SD1's etc. not allowed.

I've noticed already that dead P5's are changing hands for major money.

The backwards effect of this may be that a few P6's which had been put away by racers for this long-mooted meeting will come onto the market.

Cheers
Nick

Its about time the banger boys realise that P6's are crap for bangering!

Oh they do Mr. Pilkie. The P6 design team did us all a great favour with that in the late 1950's.

I've heard of quite a lot of P6s being bangered, though. Why are they no good for bangering? I'd also have thought that the SD1 would make a perfectly acceptable banger...

P6 is a bit "soft" at the front, very quickly you'd have the radiator jammed in the engine, and you'd soon be going nowhere. However, having seen an SD1 take out a lampost and drive away, I'd say they would be pretty usefull.

Apparently there is a way round this. Not posting it on here though.

I was told that early Mondeos are excellent for bangering
