Grass Funkhana, $15 Entry! This Sunday The 3Rd Of Feb.


Recommended Posts

Done and dusted....and i do mean dusted!!

The Austin 7 + MG club were fantastic host's, and the event was extremly well run. They even had their own trailer storage area with full BBQ facilities, plus a portable toilet. Very friendly people and today was a lot of fun.

The morning rain helped keep the dust down for the first 2 tracks, but after that the dust came back and with vengeance!!!

Here's the tracks....

The tracks weren't that hard, but still with a fading memory they still provide a challenge ;)

The surface WAS grass, but then got chopped up and eventually got turned into a fine dusty powder. I've got no damage to my car its just filthy!

I got a little dusty....

Here's one vid of many that i'm uploading. To see more youtube search "A7/MG Funkhana"

About 20 odd cars from memory, Oscar. More vids are coming as we had 3 goPros, and the photos will be up soon. My mate took about 600+ so he's gotta go through all of them.

Oh and it turns out i placed 1st overall! :w00t:

Wow, nice air in the second photo! Awesome videos :D

Was it bumpy at all (like last time)? Looks really dry though, was it easier or harder to do a handbrake turn in the dry dirt?

looks like ripper fun...does your rear spoiler actually flex that much or is it just a camera effect?

Nah not that bumpy, but the grass got torn up and the dirt undeneath was very soft....almost powder like. Very easy to slid on, you would have loved it ;)

fuark missed it.. keen for next one Age!! Also 17th looks interesting but need CAMS and membership to MG.. Lilydale ftw tho..

Ahh dammit car won't be ready but let me know about next one! :D

No wuckers Kaz, i usally post em up when i know, or Oscar is also on the case.

Yeah it does, i'm thinking of re-doing the rubber gaskets on it where the spoiler bolts onto the boot, but i'm not sure how much that will do.

Oh and sooooooooooo much CHEAP fun. Whole day cost me $15 for entry, $25 fuel and $10 @ the bakery for lunch. ;)

Oh and full Photos are up and here,

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
