A new way to really hurt yourself (with pics)

[TWINSET]

Started off innocently enough, me and Jimbo just blatting cars around a car park (yes I did break one)

Then it rained a bit, so we packed up.

Shortly after, it got sunny again, so unpacked and took some pics whilst the sky looked right []

Then, I figured from that angle, some jump shots would be good - that's when it all got a bit silly []

So, with a controller in one hand, a camera in the other, and a ramp/speedbump in front of me (about 4 foot from the run off I guess), I laid down and drove a car at my head

As you can see from the angle of the wheels, panic didn't really set in early enough, and it seemed like a real good idea at the time to 'air steer' the car away from me

Anyroad, I never actually hit myself in the head with it, but I took a few to the chest, which is aching a bit - think the alu chassis musta added a couple of pounds to the weight [8D]

Suggested Jimbo gave it a go with his nitro buggy, even offered to drive it at for him, wasn't interested for some reason[V]

That looks like so much fun, great pics.... must admit to wishing we had speedramps outside my house now.

[Jimbo]

I had a good laugh[]. Specially when the car hit him fast[]

Andy,

Looks like you can clear a car park quickly[)]

Excellent photos by the way.

Here's the bit I don't understand, You & Jimbo = '2' people, you drive the buggy through the air at your 'own' head with expensive camera to your eye 'reverse steering' with one hand [:0][?] would the buden of driving / photography been safer shared [?] you've even got '2' cameras there, or am I just a sissy missing the point [?].

Art worth suffering for though, nice shots [8D]

[Jimbo]

Lets put it like this, I don't trust his driving and he don't trust mine[]

With Just cause too. Snetterton, Cat 2000.... How much racing did YOU get done with that car...

[TWINSET]

I think he pretty much summed it up []

Driving a car at my own head is one thing, but letting someone else do it is just plain stupid []

The camera was never in any real danger (lets prioritse here chaps) the car was on all four wheels by the time it hit reached me, and the camera was a forearms length off the ground.

Paul, thanks for bringing that back up[:I] I had put that to the back of my mind. I think I got about 6 laps done before the car exploded by hitting one of them white planks of wood[]

No Probs Jim[]

How is the Reliant Robin 3 wheeler, Cat 2000 doing by the way, used at least one of its nine lives there..

[Twmaster]

Ok, I am now sure you Brits are crazy. Yep I am now sure! []

Anyhow, Andy, the Beetle, is that a Blitzer chassis under it or something else? (Yes I see the alloy links but that still can be a blitzer! [])

[TWINSET]

Hey Mike

Nope, it's not a Blitzer, just looks a lot like one [V]

Hmm where driving is concerned i have been far too close to an example of Jimbo's best, so if you need to entrust something to Jimbo I would definitely suggest its the camera and not the transmitter. []
