Monster Trucks!
Just a quick post to say that I WENT TO A MONSTER TRUCK RALLY!!! It was awesome! The noise that those things make, the smell of burning fuel and the shear stompyness of it all was so cool!!!
It was all Tansy's idea and she gets massive kudos for this one! I wasn't told where we were going, just given a matchbox truck and told it was a hint =) They initially had races around a course with jumps over the cars but then had a freestyle session without the ramps where some serious car crushination and over reving of engines took place. At one point one of the trucks span sideways off the cars and rolled over. The driver was fine and 30mins later he was racing again. Awesome!
As well as that they had guys doing stunts on dirt bikes and all the rest of the fun of the fair. Cheesey rides, shoot the targets and win a prize stalls etc. It was like the Easter Show with Monster trucks =D
vrooom, vrooom, VRRRAAAAUUUUUOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMM!!!

I never knew you were a petrolhead, Richard. Or is it just the BIG machines that fascinate engineers?
