Tires are like boobs, they always look big until you have played with them for a while, then you just want a bigger set.

Ok, so 1st hazzard = 1x broken CV Bugger, so back to pits to fix that, then cleared the next 4 hazzards with zero points. Then put the suzi over on its side in the next hazzard lol. Cleared the hazzard after that with a zero also but broke the other side CV doing so lol. That was us for the day :(

But overall a very good day, the weather was perfect!
