TRNC SPEED TRIALS

[artic monkey]

Good day from sunny Karpaz, where it seems that the Yeni Erenkoy - Dipkarpaz road has been designated as the (un) official venue for the TRNC land speed trial attempts. If any "westies" are thinking of visiting my advice is DON`T, unless you come along in your souped up Suzuki, your super charged Subaru, your hot hatch Honda or your AMG Merc to allow you to compete with the local boy racers. Failing that, then ensure that a fully equipped ambulance and medical crew is at hand.
The local police will fully facilitate you by staying away thus allowing these record attempts to carry on from breakfast time until 1 or 2am. The late night/early morning hours seem to be favoured by the participants as the silence and stillness of the Karpaz nights permit the roar of the engines and the squeal of the tyres to be appreciated by the residents of the area.
If unwilling therefore to take your chances amongst the aforementioned budding Campbells, Hamiltons, Sennas etc., best advice is - STAY AWAY.
