Beware - Fireworks!

[PJ Grady (Europe)]

All,

Common sense really - but if it's possible, now is a good time to get your cars indoors or under cover.

We've already had one request for bodywork repair after a DeLorean was damaged by a firework. I assume it was a burnt out one falling to earth rather than one aimed at a car (I should have asked).

We appreciate the work - but it's probably best to take caution and cover them over or move them indoors if you can.

Regards

good point Darren.

We had a few near misses at the Sunbeam Rapier OC National Rally (of all places!) back in July.

We had a joint weekend with the Sunbeam Alpine Club, and on the Saturday night, whist most of us were in our tents & caravans trying to get some shut-eye, the Alpine boys decided to start letting fireworks off at around midnight - and not just little ones, but the big 'air bombs' and the like. This carried on until about 2am :evil: They decided to use the metal posts that had been put in place to section off the different cars to launch the fireworks :evil:

We woke up the next morning to find the whole event field strewn with fireworks - some were very close to the cars and tents, and one had actually gone into the main 'marquee' thing too! I believe 'words were said' at the AGM later that morning.....

Anyway, unless Chris and Darren are into letting off fireworks in their premises, Flopsy should be ok this year ! Guys? :wink:

Errr....no fireworks in our premises, but it wouldn't matter much to Flopsy - there's not much left to hit!

Flopsy looks like the worlds largest Meccano kit ever...

Ahhh, don't you just love those kids! :roll: NOT! :evil:

We had a good half a dozen black scorch marks down our driveway and in our back garden this morning, probably caused by fireworks or firecrackers! :evil:

If doesn't bare thinking about if my baby had been sitting there last night!

Luckily though, she's in the best possible place where I know she'll be tucked up safe and sound.

Right Darren? :wink:
