Plastic bases SUCK for drilling out. I've done that to more cars than I care to admit to. |

Inspired by Swifty, I am thinking of doing some ramp rollover bangers out of some small hatchbacks, I might even squash the roofs in a bit
Here is a ramp rollover competition: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E5lbRnm3FpY |

It was missing one pillar at the front so the roof was slightly crushed, and it had no boot
A bit of persuasion with long nose pliers bent the front up and the back round, but I had to be careful because the metal was ancient and really quite brittle |

I got some more banger bait at the bootsales this morning including a large scale Plymouth Fury Fire Cheif car, Ford Escort van and Triumph Acclaim
And I got a 1/76 scale Mercedes Bus which will be great as a van banger

you cant be surprised-but then again if youve never done filming to make into DVD's (like me) you never realise how hard it is. |

It doesn't really matter as it is a common Dinky anyway, I bought a mint condition one with doors and figures from a bootsale for £4!! |

First up- the Volvos look perfect for bangering. Planning on making your first start as a driver? Showing up in the P1800 would definitely put the spotlight on you for the meeting. Alas, poor Mercedes limo, I tried to save you! It'll make a good banger.

I had a talk with Wilko373 on Ovalchat about the Amazon Estate. my dad is happy for that to be banger raced and he said if we can do a deal he'll give it a full on paintjob with my website down the side! |

Here is my 1/42 scale Triang Spot On Austin A60, I bought it a few months back, the last owner has done it up as a banger, they even based it on a real driver!!!![]() It dates from the 1960s and is worth alot of money in good condition. apparantly. It could end up as a Mayhem car ..... |

I think the Mercedes should be in Hitmen colours, as Tim 'Spike' Dray has raced a real one:
