My pal (fellow autotester & friend for years) Gordon Clendinning was playing football on Top Gear, along with Russ & the boys. mental note to myself.. must ask if the need more drivers for future shows.. that looks proper fun

Let me see... I have an idea for a venue.. now for some cars.... I'll use my knackered old BMW, you guys could use your Elises & Exiges!

Kidding aside.. something we could do... only need some old cars and a very large football.

On TRS we were thinking about doing our own Top Gear challenge. Following in their footsteps and buying a bucket for a series of tasks. ie. road runs, trackday (hot hatch

) and finally some form of demolition derby, Racewall at Cowdenbeath was mentioned.

Plan was to limit cars to under £100 quid, as per TG, and £50 of mods, beneficial or comedy. Plenty road legal, taxed and MOT'd available at car auctions. Cars could be run by teams rather than an individual to cut down the expenses.

Bonus points for going for something utterly ridiculous as opposed to potentially quick.

Anyone fancy it?

Sounds fun;... hot hatch / cowdenbeith banger racing, same thing??

On the football subject; How big would a football get if we over inflated it? <BG>

Was going to do a search on large inflatables on the web... results so far are not what i was hoping for... having said that....
