Default coolant under the tyres at 220km/h

after being at the track and seeing many horrible crashes, it hit us this weekend with the brother in his Capri streeter, fortunately quick hands and thinking kept him from too much damage, the rear quarter being damaged not too bad. a radiator clamp not doing what it should came off and dumped 10L of coolant under the tyres

George it wouldn't surprise me if he put the car into the wall on purpose, just so he could spend the day eating phwoar the kebabs were good, i think we polished off a bit over 200 between 15-20 of us. the El Jannah garlic sauce sent them from great to fantastic, bought some Nando's Perinaise the boys loved it on them also. as u see we more passionate bout eating, like i say, we go to the track to eat and race a little in between eating
