Terry, your last post reminds of an incident from about 1987/1988 at the Alcesster Buggy Club.
A guys Turbo Burns 1/8th buggy suffered a stuck throttle on the straight, used the banked corner at the end as a jump and flew over the fence in to the car park and through the windscreen of a couple of week old Cossie .... there was a collective gasp from the pits, a scury to make sure nobody was hurt and one brave sole dived into the Cossie and caught the buggy and stalled it's engine. Not before it had ripped the interior of the car to shreds!!
We looked around to see the owner of the Cossie and for the driver of the Turbo Burns to come down off the rostrum ... we waited, waited and waited ... the the truth dawned ... the Cossie and Turbo Burns were owned by the same chap!!!!!
I've never had to fight back the laughter so much in all my life, talk about unlucky!
