Europe knows not what fury she inspires from the depths of
her past interpreted by those who choose to follow chaos and who’s recent
endeavours have colluded and corrupted to culminate in a simple spark of ‘I
wonder’ism. She sleeps content with her fruits of consumption, her results of
sun baked vines and tumulted dairy. She knows not what fury...
As 88mph flaming tracks go it isn’t a notable size but I’ll
take you back to the glorious days of 2009, when winter was winter and spring
was spring. As the richochet of war stories rattled around the returning ferry
pinging off the clinking pint glasses like the stray bullets from a p-zero, one
summarised story stuck with me...
2 limousines at 10 o clock and 2 o clock respectively
cruised in lanes 1 and 3. A little green mazda known to some as ‘bug’ to others
as ‘that exhaust’ hovered in shadow of the 2 behemoths it trailed.
A local in situ behind in an aesthetically modified Honda challenged
the might, and squeezed past. One call over the radio from one of the behemoths
changed the course of our future forever...
“Unleash the spitfire!!!”
The behemoths peeled aside to leave space for the “bug” to
breath, the Honda did not stand a chance and at around 110 knts abandoned his
challenge and went wimpering back to the carrier from which he came.
Back to the ferry, the group of merry brothers from the 2009
Scumrun were grouped together and as the story unfolded the idea emerged...The
Scumrun Squadron...
Different cars modelling different aircraft...
The idea was there, however this was where we let ourselves
down. The idea did not become reality for any of the 2010,11 or 12
rallies. I cannot offer explicit reasons
why and only hope that you forgive us for this lack of action.
However 2013 is the year...cometh the Scumrun, cometh the
idea, cometh the hour...
