Yes, both my Savages are OK. They just took both our Audi Q7s which were worth (not trying to brag) $110,000 each. []
Man thats unlucky, then again thats probably why your Savages are still there.

ORIGINAL: SpikeX

That's a good idea azzman, but I have mentioned many times that the track CANNOT BE PERMANENT as we are moving house in a years' time.
Mate, do you think you are gonna be able to pull up the dirt and have your nice grass back? It aint gonna happen because your dirt is gonna kill the grass anyway...either that or it will just keep growing up through your dirt (if its not that thick), and you will have to put more dirt on...an eventuall kill the grass.
So in 12 months time you will have to re-sew your grass either way...
So do yourself a BIG favour and spray the grass...

To sum up bro...YOUR GRASS HAS TO DIE...at least my way the your yard will have the LEAST amount of dirt to clean up because you will have added less in the first place...

EDIT: oh yea, sorry about the break-in []

I have started working on the track again. Yesterday, I started building one of the long ski jumps that will go down the left straight.

Pictures up soon!

I worked on my track again this morning, and I plan to do some more this afternoon.

So far today, I have continued working on the long ski jump, and I added some more dirt on the right straight.

We are probably NOT moving house for at least 2 more years, so I plan to finish the track entirely and hold races soon!

I worked a little on the track today. I added some more dirt on the top part of the right straight, and I replaced the stones at the top of the track with larger ones, because the smaller ones would get thrown around by the cars.

Pictures up soon!

I have not been able to upload the pictures of the track lately, as I am on holiday.

Pictures will be up on Sunday.

I have some very bad news.

My gardener, not knowing that is was a track (although it was pretty obvious), decided to destroy it so it would be easier for him to mow the grass. He removed all the dirt and the markers, so I am now left with nothing. This means that there will be no more track...

However, I have plans for making a Savage Trails Zone, which I would primarily make out of wood (Official Thread Coming Soon). This also means that I can bring it along with me when I move house. More info coming soon!
