One Midnight Pumpkin servo saver (sheared when I was busy looking at the other cars instead of mine and stacked it [B)]) and a couple of grazes on the body I spent so long painting [:(], one Mad bull gearbox stripped when the motor came loose (must remember to fix it with decent screws instead of Loctite and crossed fingers next time), and one little biddy split in my Mini body. Oh, and a dead receiver, but I think that will be fine once it's dried out.

Apart from that, everything came through intact and in one piece, which I was glad about; I was expecting to be bringing back a box of broken bits, but I've only got about 15 quids worth of parts to replace/fix/bodge [:D]

Well, some TC members who couldn't come to Snetterton had a small TC meeeting in Germany (more pics in the next days).

Accidents:

Technical.burb's custom Clod rollig down a steep hill 10m, only some bent parts, but still running.

Bluesbrother's famous swimming Jugg, swimming this time only few meters and then starting sinking (you see metal hop-up since the last time [;)]) and him getting with one leg in the frozen water to rescue it LOL

My SS crashing frontally with Dunebuggy71s Bear Hawk, both weren't steering after, broken hop up ball joint on the SS (luckily it was 3mm so replaced on site with a modern one) and broken servo saver on the BH (minus temperatures don't help [B)])

Weird noises in the end from Technical.burb's customs Blitzer Beetle gearbox.

More ones I missed?

Alot of fun still [8D][:D]

Willy came out of it all un-scathed, those things are strong, took a ton of abuse (even on the off-road track) and still kept coming back for more.

My TB02 got smashed up something chronic - Front wheel, shock Mount and of course the body (again) - Torpedo'd a plank real sweet with it though, so no surprise really [8D] Lost half the speedo heatsink and a couple of body clips.

The (new, expensive) speedo on the TB01 Truck got fried, the motor still works, but the ESC is toast, even the stickers on the outside melted.

Haven't had a real look yet, kinda scared [;)]

Someone snapped the rear axle of my Willy 2 on its first run, but luckily enough my Mounty survived a roll down a hill and even came away with the wing mirror still on.

I ran in 5 races and only one of the cars came out without something happening to it - the top force, which is a surprise 'cos I was expecting to break the front frp shock tower.

Fortunately for the most part, it was screws or bolts coming loose and bits falling off, thanks to Andy (twinset) for retrieving them for me, although I only seemed to have these probs when he was marshalling and it usually happened around the area he was standing??!?!?!?!

The mini body had a bit of a hard time, some splits and paint flaking off. But the mini race was by far the best one, in my opinion!

The 959 took a bit of a hammering, it was new built (am I mad???) the right front wheel got pushed into a 90 degree position and one of the drive shafts came out, but fortunately I found it. Oh and for your information, with a Dynatech 02H motor in, these things fly!

But, at the end of the day, if I didnt want to damage them, they would be on a shelf somewhere.

Out of 8/9 races only had one fatality. The Brat (Subaru, not person!) got rammed on first corner and broke bumper off. Then on last bend got punted into wall and broke front suspension arms. All others survived to see another day. Only 'cos no one could catch 'em[:P]

That was the best bend of the entire track [:D]

There were lemmings minis coming at it from every angle, they shoulda had chevrons on it just so everyone could see it.

Perhaps I got some kinda Bermuda Triangle aura about me[;)]

Out of the ten cars I drove(if that is the right word[?]). I broke three[B)]. Cat XLS ploughed straight on, at the top right of the track and broke the steering, and this was on the first lap[:(]. I hit one of those white board thingys side on in my Cat 2000 and it sliced the front suspension clean off[xx(][:I]and I also broke the front upright on my Dyna Blaster after taking the jump wrong[:I]

It least my TA04 came back in one piece[:D],I think this was because Twinset drove his touring car in the next race[;)]

Barbies Blitzer - too scared too run with all you nutters around - managed to scratch the front though [B)][?][:I]

Willy scratched a bit [:D] - Thanks Matty

Fighter buggy - amazingly survived cartwheels, rolls etc, just body damage really [;)]

959 - shell trashed, but it was anyway [:D] too wet to drive [:(][:(]

No major damage at all to anything cost in time only to repair and clean [:D][:D] Probably coz i drive like a girl and keep out of everyones way [:I]

First race ripped the rear suspension arm off my Citroen and lost the drive shaft, snapped the front suspension on the Subrau Brat clean off - hitting my own car that was been driven by someone else and snapped the rear wing off the Hornet in the process. Only one to survive (which is the one that i thought would get damaged) was the Monster beetle. Oh and my wallet took a big dent [:(][:(][:(]

I've just finished clearing most of my stuff up (I know, I should've done it Sunday eve really, but I'm lazy [;)]) and I've found 2 more breaks. My Mini-Z has got carpet fluff in it where the boys were racing it at the hotel, and we broke a laptop card reader when it fell out of the box onto the concrete car park.

Mini-Z is fixed now, the card reader will be replaced by my work as it's "essential for my working away from the office" [;)]

I've snapped a drive pin and driveshaft on my Emaxx after thrashing it round the off road course at full chat. I also may have killed the reciever in my Pajero bodied pan car. On top of that I have a few scuffs in the tanker of my Hauler thanks to some late night running the first night......
