Topic: Is there anything like Lemons in the UK?

Unfortunately, I have been transferred to London and will be moving over there pretty soon.  I finally got my #555 Car-B-Que into decent shape to take a win at ECR this year after 14 events and now this.  Needless to say I'm pretty bummed.  Not sure what I am going to do with the car yet. 

However, I dread the thought of all the automotive based non-sensical adventures I will be missing out on.  Is there anything even REMOTELY Lemons like in the UK?  I've been digging through the Googles for a while and all the stuff I see over there looks awful.  Its either super duper high end unobtanium stuff or highly regulated stuff that just doesn't appeal to me with an atrocious rule book.  I want to build crazy junk yard non-sense for as cheap as possible and try and race it.  The Brits seem to not be interested in such things. 

Does anyone know of any Lemons like series in the UK?  Someone please tell me I am missing something.  Jay, can you do some UK events?  I'll buy you many pints and as much fish and chips as you can stand.

They have banger racing for sure. Most of them are sprints. I'm not sure about endurance racing. It seems rougher than Lemons racing but it's been around longer.

This race is crazy, and pre-HANS for most of the years!
