Default My Motor Racing Career is OVER! Well more like Cossie Ownership!

Well I was at Prescott Speed Hillclimb again today greeted by beautiful weather.
First practice was great put in a 54.77 just over 1.5 seconds quicker than my previous fastest run in April.
Second practice out of the esses and huge knocking from the bottom end limped over the line no oil pressure and the engine cut out
Got back into the paddock just! Pushed back into my slot by 5 of my fellow competitors and a marshall (who are all such a friendly bunch) as it was up hill.

Phoned the AA said please send a flat bed it finished! An hour and half later a patrol turns up! I said bottom ends fucked will you put it on the VRS? Nope it's too low you need a flat bed! No shit mate that's what I asked for!
2 and half hours later the flat bed turns up and I've just got home at 18:05 after ringing them at 12:22

I can't afford to have it rebuilt so i'm either going to try and sell as is, not sure how much a knocking bottom end devalues it? Or break it.

What's more as I didn't do a competition run I don't get a signature on my licence.
