Default Driver wanted for Team Hopeless

Hi guys,
Just want to ask if anyone out there would like to be a part of Team Hopeless for the rest of this year and for next year?
Yes we did start off Mark but he's gone soft and sold his car, so we are 1 driver short!
We have upgraded Josh from the junior team to full status, which leaves an opening for a suitably talentless individual!

New ESC's coming.
New batteries coming.
New motors coming.
- if you have any of these don't bother applying cos we mostly run 2nd hand stuff we got cheap of ebay.
We have BlueBird servo's (but only cos they are cheap)
To put it blunt, we have nothing you need! No spares, no support, not even a Gazeebo.
You might get some stickers. But only if we get some more made up cos we've run out and the ones Little Chris made were sh!t anyway.

What we (Team Hopeless) want is a team to be full of people at least 2 laps down on FTQ, running cars of dubious reliability and likely to get distracted mid-race and have a long jump competition.

Wouldn't it be nice to be part of a team of equally pathetic drivers, instead of hanging round the A-Final boys pretending to be one of them before getting pole in the E-Final?.

If you are interested, please send me a PM and we can see what we can do.
No Lazer owners allowed (we don't swing that way), and Durango owners need to be aware we will inform the RSPCA of your 'antics'
Thanks
Simon Davanzo ( Team Hopeless Manager )

Looks like there is a real jobs Market on bmrcc section and teams looking for drivers to

Can I add the ability to smash a car up more often than it finishing in one piece will give u a strong chance of a place in team hopeless

Minke don't get excited I think your a bit over qualified

And buds if you keep smashing your car up like in them pics I reckon Si will overlook the lazer and let ya join

Well now I know my Nosram speedo is pretty good. The spare Bmax is getting the shiny bits added and i'll run that in 4wd. 2wd will be one of my Ansmanns. No way am I overqualified though, gotta disagree. I can bring enough suckage for all.

Ok let's get this straight

You are "bringing" the suckage rather than offering to provide it? ???

Yes? That's ok then - think I better charge my batteries ready for weekend!!

Obviously the new chairman is already having a positive effect!

Shanks I am glad to hear ya coming back we been missing you trackside
Reckon you'll love new track
And bring ya nipper with his massive truck
There's loads of kids racing now he can't be any worse than them
Hes probly to good for team hopeless already

Minke seems like good hopeless material to me Si I say if he's keen let him join
He can replace our scouse member with some one of equal skill but his cars are still a bit to reliable
Might have to be mad rat only to make sure only two laps per heat are completed

I was racing a mad rat last time. And I have no intention of replacing my ageing B44 or the 6.5 losi that shifts it. Does that mean I qualify too? Lol

I'm not sure Minke could replace Mark, after all Minke actually turns up at race meets......

I've had a fair bit of interest, amusing since being in Team Hopeless offers precisely no benefits at all, so it looks like we might be fielding a much larger team this year.

Minke is the new Mark, Stotty can have the junior spot for newbies that Josh had. And Bains is in just so we can gang up on Buds.
