After much harrasment and a little bit of coercing....me and kat finally made our racing debut yesterday on the pristine lawns of the mooloola country club (why the hell they let us rent out their grounds i will never understand...the place was a mud pit by the end of the day!!!!)
I would like to say that we KICKED ARSE but that would be totally lying.....
WE STAYED ALIVE YAY!!!!!!! and i managed to avoid all the trees and keep drew's car in one piece!
It was an excellent day, and many thanks to all involved, espeically Drew and John Brose, all the officals and scurtineers (gawd i wish i could spell) the competitors, the spectators (we had the Aussie Vee Dub Forum Cheering Sqaud - thanks Anthiron and Blue Bus!) and the gods of volkswagenism that kept Kat, Millie, me and Drews beetle ALIVE at the end of the day.
Very funny to be freakingout with Kat at 8am, thinking we are gunna puke, pee our pants, tummies doing back flips, chainsmoking...."are we having FUN yet..????????"
But by the end of the day....we were seasoned Petrol Heads........Kats aim to "Get Millie Airborne" will just have to wait until next Motorkhana......but we will patiently wait Kat!
It was a beautiful sight to behold......kat thrashing a PERFECTLY RESTORED BEETLE throught the mud and side swipping trees......revving the shit out of her engine....LMAO it was GREAT!!!!!!!!! go kat!!!!!!!!!
But now we are total rev head JUNKIES! can hardly wait until the next event..........think we might have to go out and visit $2cheapie and get some all girl power happening.......i need to practice my handbrake turns......i need to learn how to follow those courses....shit.....i stil; reckon i only got so lost because i was paranoid about hurting Drews beetle...........
eargerly awaiting the photos....come on nick...post em!
You shouldn't have been worie look at how wally flogged it!!! well John and I have been having discusssions about whats going to happen racing wise in the future I will fill you in this arvo about our plans. But you both did real well. We will have to try and arrange a time to get you out and get some practice in.
harrasment !!!!! since when are john and I like that!!!! we weren't that bad were we?

hehehe...and a little more
I popped out for a look, it was good to see some VW's getting trashed 🙂 . Once I get my spare back rims back off a friend, and find some street tyres for them, I hope to have a go at a motorkana myself. damn road tyre rule :cussing
🙂
I decided to take the scenic journey to Mooloolah, via Mt Mee, peachester, beerwah, etc. Why? Running in my new toy of course. You may have noticed me parked in the shade watching the action

By the sound of it I think you girls should be building bajas or buggies and join the manx club 😎

Great job Kat and Thor.
Looks like you had a great time and didn't trash the dubs.
Wish I could have come.
me and kat :kiss
ever watch the d-gen? wasnt it the dodgy brothers or something....doing stupid shit in a crash hat with thumbs up?
Hey Thor
At least we know where we stand in the racing world of guys! and i must admit it was an awesome birthday present being able to race along side of some famous, beloved people such as urself! LOL!
I had the best time and have spoken about the day on the other threads so here is just my other little 2 cents worth here!
Im totally addicted and all thanks to Thorun... so if any of you guys dun like us chicks racing; 1) too bad 2) speak to Thorun! ROFL! nah nah.... tis all good aye gurl!
Ciao
Kat
LOL!
i'm not responsible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
you still online thorun? my car still needs a wash? are you a mobile service? well its good to see you both had a great day! I think we may have created a monster with you two. But wait till you have a go with the big boys on the hard stuff, now thats real racing!
I have no sympathy for my car, only the wallet that pays for it!
Go hard or go home!!!!
yes, well....am considering that.....
think i might have to install a GPS thingo into the beetle and a reusable vomit bag on the passenger seat....
to combat the total loss of direction i seem to get and to safe gaurd the upholserty from my nervous spewing
you will be right we will ease you into it gently if you want? take it nice and slow. But hopefully I will have the bug ready for the motokhana soon. There arn't many grass ones left in qld now but hey thats life. Its ok, just got to remember you can flog the car as much as you want and then just concertrate on the navigation and not the driving. See john and I being annoying can be a good thing sometimes?
and there is evil spreading, my bro is looking at getting a t3 fastback!!!!!!
