00:00Headway! What is Headway?
00:18So Headway is the charity that are supporting this great event, Crazy Races. We are the
00:24Head Cases and so we have designed our go kart in the shape of our friend Matthew Woodward
00:31who sadly passed away last year in a motorbike accident and so we are raising money for all
00:37things head injury with this great charity. What a fantastic cause and time wise I didn't
00:44catch you coming down, someone told me you were quite fast. We set the record of 24 seconds
00:50and we were just pipped at 26 seconds. We'll be in the final 10 and hopefully we'll come
00:56away with a win. Nice one, cheers lads well done.
01:20Old Twisty Fire Station how are you doing? Very well thank you. How was your first run? Very good,
01:36a little slow, wanted to get a bit faster but got down safe. And what was the thinking,
01:40was there a bit of tactic with them? It's the widest one I've ever seen on a crazy. We saw
01:45the size as a target, go big go home sort of thing, that was the approach. Cool nice
01:50one thank you buddy. No worries.
03:50Paramedics, have you ever had to rescue a man from a six foot helicopter before?
04:50I knew it wasn't on top mate. Nice one darling thank you.
05:20Peter how you doing sir? Fine thank you. A Shropshire lad,
05:49Oswestry man. Something a bit different here, we've got some lovely Ferraris but this caught
05:54my eye, what have we got here then Peter? A Lancia Beetle Monte Carlo from 1980. You said
06:02there's only about 80 on the road? About 80 or 90 on the road in this country. It's a good owner's
06:08club and we've had it for just over 10 years. Where did you pick it up from, local area? No,
06:14it was down south, down in Surrey. Yeah. But a few years ago we took it to Italy,
06:18we've driven it to Italy and back. Wow, so it's a good reliable car then? It is now,
06:22yeah. Yeah it is now. Of course they were well known for rusting away Italian cars. So that's
06:29the one thing to kind of keep on top of yeah? It is, yeah. It's lovely and would this have
06:35been a common colour? It was one of the standard colours in those days, this is a little bit darker
06:40than the original gold colour. Yeah. Because it has been re-sprayed a few years ago. Yeah. It's
06:47quite nice though isn't it really, it's something a bit different, yeah. Good. Right well thank you
06:52for bringing it along today Peter. You're welcome.
07:10That's Peter's birthday, he could have gone. Yes, he's got to have a gift then.
