We just can't image the amount of hours spent on this.

Here I go!


In Spanish, the word I would use to entitle this photo is simply this: "Cojones!" :)

BAaaaaaaaaaaaaaammmmmmmmmmm...
You can even feel the sound of this high speed vehicle :)

When someone told me about this I said I must go there!
And, for sure, it was worthwhile!!

Held in a "Santa Cruz" village, called "Camacha", in Madeira Island, Portugal.

This is a downhill race, just for fun, using homebuilt wood cars.

Our grandfathers use to have fun using their own cars, build at their homes, and this is a way of keeping this tradition on the younger minds.

This post is entirely dedicated to my dear sister and to her boyfriend!
