Because it's Friday and we've still got that rally feeling, we thought we'd hand out a few slightly less serious awards from the Lone Star/Joe's Garage - Canterbury Rally, for which our recipients can give themselves a self-applied pat on the back.

The 'It Flew Off' award really requires very little explanation, because, well, it flew off. Pictured is ๐—”๐—ฟ๐—ถ ๐—ฃ๐—ฒ๐˜๐˜๐—ถ๐—ด๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐˜„ & ๐—๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐—ธ ๐—ก๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐˜€, who's roof vent decided it wasn't as brave as these boys clearly are en route to 241.1km/h.

The 'Hole in the Block' award is not quite as glamorous as the similarly named tourist attraction in the Bay of Islands, the Hole in the Rock, but is probably just as good at draining wallets.
