Crash Crash Banger Banger

10 November 2009

A banger rally isn't considered a success unless somebody writes off an almost worthless car. Bonus points are on offer for those that do it in an amusing manner. Of course, by banger standards 'written off' means anything from gently bumping a duck upwards, given the lack of value in the cars.

This time it was the turn of the Big BEN Banger team, made up of Emily and Kirsten. Deserted Scottish highland roads, damp surfaces, an Astra (yes, that Astra), and following a Peugeot whose driver was pressing on a bit, meant the Big BEN Banger team seemingly drifted a little wide on one turn, and bent the front of the car.

On a Royal Mail van.

Given the general lack of traffic anywhere north of Inverness, that has to be worth an extra 15 points.

Obviously everyone walked away unscathed, but we imagine the bar might get hit later. Just not in an Astra.
