A BIT MORE WORK ON THE SNOT ROCKET



A fine & sunny Sunday brought out Team Afro to do a couple of odd jobs on the 
SNOT ROCKET...

On returning from some market shopping Trina found Dog on the roof with Rabbit & Ferrett looking on .

The ever vigilant Toad - too busy to stop - always work to be done!

Two up , two down 

Hi there Rabbit!

Watch out below!!!!!!!

The cargo barriers almost going to be complient. Rabbit & Ferret cut the last modification to the cargo barrier.

The TEAM AFRO girls have a tactics meeting - a couple of good ideas came about. Stay turned as to where you can see the SNOT ROCKET in all it's glory.

Sorry BOOGER MOBILE - Toad says it all. 
Dog & 3 out of 4 of the junior TEAM AFRO support crew.

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
