Leigh Fearn’s Wacky Races

 


Coach Fearn takes a look into the Old Headingley transport fleet and realises that Manager Burns has more to pick from than the usual family Car.



Chris Weston – Council Gritting Machine

Useful 3 times a year.  Out of service the rest of the time



Paul Kempton – 1962 JAGUAR XKR

A classic bit of kit that commands respect.  Looking like it will soon be confined to the Old Headingley Garage




Tony Angell – JOHN DEERE TRACTOR

Strong, powerful bit of machinery, rarely breaks down and loves being covered in mud


Will Johnson – Audi TT

Not quite the engine of a Ferrari but still got that little bit more about it than your average car


Adrian Shields – 1950’S INDUSTRIAL STEAM ENGINE 

Enormous awkward looking piece of engineering.  Big head that often blows steam




Paul Leonard – Fire Engine

Big Red Faced unit.  Big engine and good for aerial problems.  Speed limited due to weight issue




Timothy Manuel – Jumbo Jet

Bulky but good in the air, often abroad but a sexy bit of kit to own




Matt Hannon – Gulf Buggy

One of the smallest engines in the fleet.  Quite a noisy engine and must be handles with care




Mark Lucas – Dingy

Can be unbelievably useful on the right day.  However rubbish in the cold and can occasionally self deflate

Sean Tyres – Cement Mixer

Uncompromisingly built, unsubtle and never afraid to mix things up

Very old member of the fleet.  Never experiences engine failure though very slow




Oliver Seed – Citreon Saxo

Fast over the first 5-10 yards, loses power soon after.  Not built for long distance travel




Ash Austin– Racehorse

Form depends upon its mood and fitness.  Can be great but also temperamental




Tom Long – SmartCar

Although not the biggest, very very SMART




Callum Butcher – Mobile Crane

Built for aerial manoeuvres.  A bit Awkward looking for bloody useful


Gav Johnstone – Submarine

Not many people know a lot about this piece of kit.  Clearly loaded with missiles but not used enough




Daniel Burns – Pedalo

Always tends to drift and can sometimes find itself in choppy waters.  Has a mind of its own




Steve Beck – Tank

Slow, unsexy, Powerful, uncompromising with a big shot




David Davies (Preston) – Clown Car

Makes unorthodox manoeuvres, is a bit daft though popular with kids




Sam Pickup –Pickup Truck

Often comes to the rescue when we need it most.




Phil Harrington – Volkswagon Bora

Safe, steady, reliable though would rarely be invited to any exciting Hollywood parties




Paul Harrington – Moped

Good little runner but would benefit from more power.  Desperate to be a motorbike

 

Dave Gillespie – Ford Focus

Sam Hasson – Horse Box

Extremely useful despite being funny looking.  Usually full of shit

Great over ruff terrain, built for impact


Kieran Burns – Jet Ski

Looks right, fast and great to have in the fleet even though nobody has quite worked out how it works

 

Tim Curtis – Batmobile

Recent edition to the fleet so the club still learning of its capabilities.  Looks the part.  Just need to work out how to drive it



Richard Booth – Dick Dastardly’s Wacky Races Car

Crazy, colourful piece of kit.  Nobody knows how it works or where it finds that extra bit of speed but certainly a bit special


Will Trew – Bentley

Nice and Posh   




Daniel Keating – Canoe

Small, no frills frame.  Tends to travel along at it’s own leisurely pace

Super Slick, uncomplicated design but spends half its time with its head in the clouds

Full of ridiculous tricks.  You’ll like him…but not a lot..

‘Safety comes as standard’.  Great design though not the most stylish
