I was only saying to Rick the other day how surprising it is Malta has so many car events. You do think of it as being a sleepy place. My Mum and Dad went out there for quite a few years on their hols and that is the impression they gave me anyway.

P.S. Yes, what is badger karting? Do I have to report you to the RSPCA? I have visions that it might be similar to the way that dead cat was made into a remote controlled flying cat by that Dutch bloke.

 Smiley Malta's got one of the oldest drag strips in the World hasn't it Dave?
Maybe it's the influence of all the Military personnel who've been there over the years? (my Dad was stationed there with the Navy after the war).
They're also famous for their old cars, still in use, a bit like Cuba, though I think I read somewhere that they're starting to crack down on them now. I remember a holiday there around 20 years ago when we travelled in a taxi which was a Morris Oxford, with no doors. The distinctive old Maltese busses are being phased out too I think.

I dont know about the oldest drag strips. The old cars are now mainly "sunday cars", mostly jap stuff in use every day now. The old buses went a few years ago.
