'Boxes' Competition entry

This is my first ever entry into a TamiyaClub competition... AAaaaaaarrrrrrgggggghhhhhh!!!! It's been nothing but a nightmare for me!

I wanted to do a really cool drifting pic of me sideswiping some small boxes but everything went wrong. Firstly I'd decided that I was going to try completing one of my TA04 projects so that I had a 'new' car for the comp. My life got in the way so I ended up not completing that one in sufficient time (when I eventually get it added to my showroom you'll understand why), so I started rebuilding my TA04 'Drift' project which was in pieces because I'd raided it for parts for this competition project. I had to order some new parts which I then had to wait for delivery before I could get it back up and running. Then I made up the boxes, slightly larger than the size I'd wanted, and cut brown tape to look suitable for the size. So I thought I was ready then the battery holder for my hayabusa controller broke so the batteries kept falling out before I could put them in so I had to tape them into the holder, then I couldn't find a clear or dry enough space outside so I had to clear a short run inside, then my route ended up bending around chairs 'n stuff than were as far out of the way as I could get them, then I decided change bodyshells so that I could re-add the lights (of which I could only get the fronts working properly)... then I finally thought I was ready again, put the battery in, started it up and... nothing. My battery was dead. I thought I'd left it fully charged a couple of weeks back but obviously it had lost whatever charge was in it. Then I couldn't find my charger for about an hour or so. Once found and battery all charged, I put the battery back into place, switched everything on and BOOM! my car just zoomed off and crashed into the boxes I'd pushed aside so that I could sort stuff out. Interference wouldn't let me take back control so it just sat there. I honestly felt like crying because of all the stress I'd put myself through only to lose it all like that...

Then I started laughing and just took a pic of my crash. :lol:
