Newest Bluebird's you'll get are on a H-plate mate, or possibly a few late-plates J's knocking around perhaps. Gotta be Primera if you want an L or later

boothy do you know them banger geezers who had the mk2 beige granny in stocky i went to look at a couple of weeks ago,i reckon they worked in a scrappy as each time i contacted them they were in one.

lads i know who do grannies have racers looking on ebay mithering for bangers so there is a good place to pick them up if all the local scrap dealers can't help.

do you go hednesford or birmingham or buxton and is the one at stoke still going too ?

i have seen the best banger racing ever known to man,its no good me watching volvos and primeras,cavaliers, and bluebirds as i have seen the best of the best mk1 grannies and mk2 grannies battle it out to the death with jag xj6's,limo's,hearses, and even rolls royces lincolns and caddys.

please click this for some proper action and soak up the atmosphere before on the parade lap,i love a parade lap when you get to see the cars and crew who prepare the cars for war,i also love the prep some people put into them with race paint and strength engineering.

and into battle

i was at hednesford for the pre 68's last year. i can't help meself i'm adicted to the smell of old cars with carbs revvin up in the pits and the atmosphere,it reminds me of the old days when you could smell cars,the fuel and the oils,the waft of the burgers and the onions,the big flatbed lorrys with the hiabs holding down 3 ford granadas prepared to race. i like a bit of racing mind you but i love it when a old banger hits another car and follows through in front of me.
i remember about 6 or 7 years ago someone at buxton got killed and burned to disguise him,you know its real when shit like that happens.
