Photos Unboxed: Distractions With The Accent
Here is a prime example of procrastination at the shed. Duggie had work to do on his cars, I had an endless list with the Trueno, and yet we focused our efforts on turning the Accent it into a Trials course.
Our mate Fitzy had just recently acquired this new Trials Bike, and of course, any distraction is always going to be better than real work. We swiftly dropped the tools and decided to help Dayo and Fitzy achieve their Accidental dreams.
The poor accent had been through a lot, we bought it from a priest in Kilkenny, it had seen a few laps of the city but failed to show up to a local cruise, regardless we were proud of our efforts and out eye-catching design.
In the “heavy snow of 2017” we gave the accent its final task of being thrasher around the business park as a snowmobile skid machine.
The distributor broke, the car was misfiring, the clutch was slipping. Yet the Accent chugged on for the night until eventually, Reuben mashed the back right wheel off of a kerb, pretty much rendering the Accent useless. We could have fixed it, but it just wasn’t worth the effort.
We thought about fixing it, but eventually, laziness took over, and the Accent became a large ornament at the front of our shed slowly falling apart over time.
We took it out on a fresh Autumn day to have a little fun before it inevitably became a recycled cube of metal. I hadn’t taken any snaps of this work of art, so I captured the moment to forever immortalising our Hyundai accident. Because why do real work, right?
Followed by a bunch of wheelies, pretty much anything to avoid actual work and progress. And then we wonder why nothing ever gets done.
