Vauxhall Viva (blue car to the left)
This car we were ripped off. Our second car, brought after the mini died. It now starts on its battery as a mechanic friend found the problems and fixed them. The engine bay is absolutely covered in mud. You open the bonnet and just laugh the only clean thing is the battery which gets swapped between cars. I would hate to think of all the mud in the engine.
The viva has a lot of body roll and because we usually go round the track only one way it is now on a lean to that side! It is rear wheel drive and there is no weight in the back at all so it gets sideways AWESOME. In the wet you can drive around the whole track with the back out, impresses spectators thats for sure.
This car is LOUD! it has the exhaust manifold then nothing! It backfires something aweful and at night if standing outside the car or looking through the gear stick hole you can see the flashes as it back fires. A bit on the rusty side (the rust holds it together) this car will never hit the roads again.

Toyota Carona (red car to the right)
Awesome paddock car this one is. It was stolen and dumped outside a friends-flatmates-mothers house. They took it to the flat and stored it there until the landlord complained then it came to HAYTONA. It only ran on 3 cylinders and there was nothing on the steering column, ie no indicators or wipers it had been smashed off. When you steer the steering wheel you also turn the steering lock! a bit dodgy.
We thrash this car a lot. Our record is 140 kmph but we were only moving about 30kmph. She was spinning up good then. Because its only running on 3 cylinders 3rd and 4th gear aren't much use so we run extremely high revs in 1st and 2nd. Once I spun it out then still running high revs blew the radiator cap off. I was worried a bit until i realised the engine was still running.
The tyres are bald as and extremely uneven. Most are only held on by 3 wheel nuts. Because the panels are so beat up we run from one end of the car to the other from bonnet to roof to boot then back. only one door opens properly so get in that one then kick open the others.
