MORE WORK ON THE SNOT ROCKET

Sunday saw Darren and Rob attending to more improvements to the EsCarpade mobile (Snot Rocket).
After a email from event organisers - the guys found out the cargo barrier would most likely be deemed unfit - due to being too low down from the roof - so after some thought and a bit of hard work the problem has been solved and now hopefully will be all A-OK.

The guys also built in a storage system -

Drills at 50 paces

All done - for now

THE SNOT ROCKET GETS LIGHTS

Toad gets on board to do his magic ... wiring the beast for all it's lights.

I promise all these will find an end and a home

Toad always believes that switches need a good solid home.. see below

These switches ain't going anywhere!

It looks harmless now -- check out the video below..

UP AND RUNNING

Team Afro 2011 is up and running! 

The guys (& girls behind the scenes) have been hard at work getting donations to begin their assault on the 2011 Camp Quality EsCarpade.

The team made up of Darren (Dog), Laurie (Ferret), Rob (Rabbit) & Kane (Toad) - see below  have posed for their first (and definatley not last) team photo.

Team Afro will be seen driving an 1984 Pajaro -  the vehicle has been named - to tie in with the upcomming paint job - "THE SNOT ROCKET".  The pajaro is having a check up at the moment - when it has passed it's physical and is ready -the next step will be the almighty & much anticipated  paint job. So until the Snot Rocket is back home - Team Afro will continue the planning and fund raising.
