Littler Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 I have to mention one thing which was brilliant! Pig's car was working perfect when Ben was driving it then Pig talk over and in a matter of seconds it was pulling over broken That has to be a record surely??

Pig's car was working perfect when Ben was driving it then Pig talk over and in a matter of seconds it was pulling over broken That has to be a record surely?? That was so funny, we were pulled over at the side of the road and Pig decided he wanted to drive his car after Ben had been driving it all day, next thing I know he's sat on launch control, lights the rear end up, bangs it into second, a bit more wheelspin and boost cut.............then the hazard lights come on and he pulls to the side of the road, I jump out and ask him what's up...reply's with 'I've broken it', didn't even last 15 seconds behind the wheel .

Abz Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Please apologise to her for me. I have problems understanding what is socially acceptable when in the car. Apologise? She said you are more mental than you look! We both loved how the car sounded on WOT - It was immense I have to mention one thing which was brilliant!

Branners Posted May 22, 2012 Author Share Posted May 22, 2012 Just dawned on me that a large number of you were never around for the original discussions about Dragonball back in 2005. It was talked about calling it Bulldog Run, or LeRosBeefs or similar. Somebody once called our cars Soopdragons, so I took the Dragon part of that, stuck it with the Ball from Canonball and thus was born a legend, Dragonball. I didnt make the original 2 events so last year was my first. I think it went well!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(oh the thread will have been 05) It's bad that I remember all this stuff...

Pig Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 You're still a baby, an adult baby!!!! Lol Haha brilliant! I had a weird dream last night, I was driving your car and skidded and had a knock in it. When I woke up, I knew it was just a dream as your car is far too slow to lose traction #nevergoingtodropthisone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(oh the thread will have been 05) It's bad that I remember all this stuff... Getting on a bit now, no longer the kid (although still behaving like one) The first event was in 06, but the discussions started in 05 as everything was booked and paid for by January of 06. the 2013 event should be amazing if we get as many going along as have said they will in these threads. I was worried I wouldnt be able to keep 40 cars in a convoy and it would fall apart, but I dont think it mattered. We were together for convoys at the start of each leg, and large groups still stuck together. So I think in 2013 if we are on French roads with very few traffic lights we can have some great drives.
