^ That made me laugh and remember. We built rocket cars made out of Matchbox chassis and sawed of steerer tube powered by fertilizer and sugar mixture. This we set off in a large court. They blasted away erratic but speedy time after time. And then it did not, nice yellow flame turned to blue and then white and then went out. So we thought. When we tried to get it a bang that kept my ears ringing for hours. The steerer tube flew away ten yards and when we found it had been shredded to bits. Lucky escape.
