hahah yes he is crazy, thats Fossil for ya. He was planning to take the old suby out with a bang, and i think he did it. He didnt do it for the $250 , he did it cause he could i guess hahah I guess thats why they say "boys will be boys" or "Boys and their toys", us women will never understand you blokes and your actions hahahaha

Hi there I think you have taken what i have said out of context. For the record, yes the lift kit was purchased from Brett at BYB, and we have no complaints about that, and no it was not made by "hirise subaru" it was made by Dave Blandford who is now known as HiRise Subaru - Sorry for the confusion. We are not trying to play on the byb name , we are merely a site that promotes Fun On Wheels, doesnt have to be subarus, anything with wheels will do. We are happy to stop producing the first BYB cd at your request, but thought it would be good advertising for you and the BYB's. We just have had our fair share of problems in the past well before recent disagreements resulting in us removing ourselves from BYB. I was only passing on a message that Fossil does not want to be known as a Backyard Boy and just plain old Fossil as he has not been part of your bunch for a long time - but yes he was once known as a Backyard Boy. I am sorry for all the confusion and we do not want to make any problems out of this. Hope this clears up a few things Fun On Wheels

Hi It USED to be a backyard boy car, they no longer want anything to do with the backyard boys and would like people to stop refering to Fossil as a backyard boy please. HiRise Subaru design and manufacture lift kits, Fossil's car had a Backyard boys lift Kit which was manufactured by HiRise Subaru.

Just an update on how the hit rate is going on our site. Previous stats were just purely that night (4500) but have checked stats again and they have updated. To date we have had 56000 hits, thankyou all for visiting our site. Funonwheels

Hi everyone, Dad has looked at all his footage now from different people and is really happy with himself. Dad has cleaned all the car and found that the passenger side was crumpled, also had a look under the car and found that where the gearbox crossmember bolts to the lift kit, had pulled away from the chassis but the lift kit is still intact (thankyou Dave from HiRise Subaru for the kit) The rear diff still intact however upon landing the diff smacked the crossmember and bent/bowed it. Also obviously the struts were bent, but on closer inspection found that when they contracted it pushed the tower top into the bonnet. Someone asked me what was beefed up on dads car or what he was running etc, here are details 2 litre RS Turbo Microtech computer Tuned and dynoed at 250hp auto 4.44 rear lsd standard l-series struts with fairlane kingsprings Hi Rise Lift Kit For more updates keep checking our site www.funonwheels.net . Dads jump has had 4500 individual hits on Sunday night alone. Thanks to those who have looked. PS - Dad is seeing a chiropractor this afternoon after back pain and a little neck pain.

Hey guys, have had lots of interest in getting footage from past and present 4x4 outings. So funonwheels will be putting a cd together of material from our website and other footage that is not yet on the site. I will put information on our site www.funonwheels.net when we have it finished. Please note, this is not a Backyard Boys cd - Unlike our first cd we distributed. This will be purely Fun On Wheels, so if you would like any footage of your own vehicle on our new cd please email to us - details are on our website. Thanks

Hey there, Answer to your question how old is he - my dad is in his 50's, but definiately a kid at heart. Janette

Hi everyone, my name is Janette, that is my dad that did the jump, he is not over 70 lol is under 60 , ever since his last jump he has been preparing for this years jump, as the car was going to be retired and his new project started. So he went ahead and put roll bars and harnesses in it. On his first attempt at it he radio us and said that he had sustained damage, but didnt go thru all this to stop now, so decided to continue and try for second go, and i think he achieved what he set out to do, no major injuries, just very sore back and tongue (he bit it on way down) On our site we will have pics and video of all angles later this afternoon, and yes we do have cds of all types of footage from previous events if people want them. A new one will be made soon as well. Thanks for all your interest and your posts, dad will be here tonight and will love how popular his jump was, his last jump was downloaded 36000 times, hope this one will do better. Please check our site this afternoon www.funonwheels.net
