Each year on another site, during the month of December, I run a 'fun' group build called 'The Dick Dastardley Challenge'.
The aim is to build a 'Whacky Racer' in the same vein as those from the 1970's TV cartoon series 'Whacky Races' featuring Dick Dastardley as the arch villan.
It must be built from the parts box or a failed kit. No aftermarket parts are allowed. Paint finish and quality of build is not important either. The winner is always the 'Whackiest' build.
So it is with great laughter that I present to you my 2014 entry....... 'Skullduggery' the real 'beast of Bodmin Moor', driven by none other than Mr Shirley Jones himself. Muhahahahahaaaa!!!!
Notice anything odd about the wheels?

Dick Dastardly 'Wacky Racer'

So you're thinking, the English guy has been out in the mid-day sun huh??
Let me explain.......
Over on another site we have a little light hearted end of year fun, building these.
The idea is to build a DD Wacky Racer completely from the parts box or rubbish or failed kit.
No mile deep paint jobs are allowed and after market parts are also banned.
The build lasts fro Dec 1st to 31st.
This one has 1939 Ford Panel Van front and rear wings and running board, mated to a 1963 Corvette and is powered by a jet engine. ;D
It also has a HUGE 39 Ford induction hood to feed the engine.
