Pod faces/ sunburn

Grant Monkhouse · August 18, 2012, 09:14:32 PM

Just thought I would put this up as my gf has laughed at my sunburn.

A few tips to avoid this in the future.

1. Wear suncream. Strong factor
2. Don\'t wear a vest, go topless or wear a tshirt
3. When your friends wives say that your sunburn is really bad, don\'t use the excuse that "I\'m hard" and "I\'m a northerner" to not use cream or put a tshirt on.

Post up pics of your burns too.

Oh and btw I\'m not wearing a white vest in the picture that\'s just my pale skin. Lol

Wow! :2eek

I did see you showing Steve you were getting burnt and I thought you were going to put some cream on - nearly offered you my factor 50.

Another top tip - spend most of the afternoon under the club gazebo! :Thumbs-up

WOW that makes me feel better. Me, Shaun and Marcus chipped in on a bottle of sun cream. Guess I missed my nose and forehead off though cause Its red and sore now!

Steve gave me some factor 30, but I fear it was too late:( never mind. We don\'t have much sunshine in this country so best to enjoy it, and enjoy it surround by a great bunch of people. Great day.

4rotor was way cool but Carl\'s engine in the rx8 was my favourite of the day

yep pod tan strikes again.....classic

To be honest it\'s not painful, got my gf to cream me up just incase though

Hopefully be able to even it up 2moro with a bit of gardening, providing its sunny

that sounds rather ominous! :Giggle

just wish i didnt stay so far away otherwise i would have been there

bananaboat gel is the answer - apply liberally to affected areas - reduces \'baboon bottom\' and other redening

Was pretty dam hot though, shame I didn\'t get to hear that dutch 4 rotor

Anyone get any video footage of it ?

Grant Monkhouse · August 19, 2012, 09:42:12 AM

4rotor was cool, Carl provided the pp housings I believe

it was a little quiet though, probably Due to the rear back box which was rather large

I too have caught the Sun a bit & my face feels a bit taught today

Can recommend sitting under the Club Gazebo though :Laugh

I thought the 4 rotor was a little tame sounding, however I reckon if he intends to actually use it on tracks then he\'s got to keep noise in mind. It\'s a shame though. I\'d love to see it when it is fully finished and being used hard.

I got caught even with the sun cream we bought from the shop. Missed a bit on my chest and its bright red !

Even the wind was warm when stood watching the sprint circuit !

Another Pod Facer here.

steve garbutt · August 19, 2012, 04:19:16 PM

Yep got myself some pod face as well, but it was well worth it

Glad we managed to eventually convince you to get a t-shirt on and some sun cream on Grant, it was bordering of blister haha

Grant Monkhouse · August 19, 2012, 05:10:28 PM

Next time I\'m going to wear a hat as my necks stinging with a tshirt on. Just a hat that is. Lol
