Great car Romain, glad you got it finished in time, you never did post the results of your engine rebuild with the BW turbo?

It would be great to see a dyno graph!

Blah blah, the facts speak the truth ladies, it wasn't a complete shut down that it should have been

And it was around 600bhp

^^I have heard this before somewhere


Ahhhh yes, it's all coming back to me now-

You almost had me? You never had me - you never had your car... Granny shiftin' not double clutchin' like you should. You're lucky that hundred shot of NOS didn't blow the welds on the intake! You almost had me?



Inch 'n a mile stuff, like the Bald geezer and Charlie Sheen say "winning is winning" And the gap would have extended quite a margin over a proper quarter mile track

Oh my god, word for word, you've watched that too many times

Ah mate it doesn't matter, the car did well and hung with the best without breaking, so I'm well happy that it was the only example from this crappy island that made it and stayed in one piece. At least I proved Jan wrong, it didn't break!

If you had proper faith in that old shed your dad would have come as a passenger in your car rather than following you all the way in a reliable car

Ah mate 3 or 4 car lengths wasn't too bad considering the power difference. 500-700bhp WRC FFD spec 4x4 against RWD road car 380bhp.....yeah what a shut down And yours wouldn't stand a chance with that piss poor transmission

Ah mate it wasn't that bad considering, completely different from where I was sitting. Not bad at all result considering the difference, it was basically a full works car. I'm proud of that and would pay money to see anyone else have enough balls to race against one

When you said close I was thinking half a car! I love both cars though!

I wonder what a trip to Gatebil would cost coming from the USA.

There were loads there from the US, ask them. But as for the WRC, yeah, I'd say it was close in comparison.

Great driving in the Escort, was a treat to watch. Shame UK Cosworth drivers (Barring Andrew G etc) dont seem to be able to drive like that even with RWD, as its great to see.

I'm new here, so forgive me for speaking out of line, but WTF?

Why would people not 'dare' race a car? It wasn't for money, it was for fun, and you got your arse handed to you, as you'd expect, esp with a soft launch like that.
But it's all just for fun, and if you willing to pay people to 'dare' race a fast car, there will be queues around the block of people taking your money off you lol

And yes, I was there watching!

Yeah, and? Didn't see you racing pal! I went up against Romain for fun, obviously, and I didn't expect to win against a car of that spec, but tried nonetheless and yes, I got my ass handed to me....did your frail little mind expect any different? The fact it wasn't a complete ass raping was more than enough justification to me, my car did well. So forgive me for pointing out the obvious, but STFU douch when you clearly have no idea that launching a RWD against a car like that would have been even more pointless if it just spins on the line for a few seconds. That's why you watch from the sidelines and others drive

WOW. Go on there internet hardman.

So 1 soft run on a 300m dragstrip at Gatebil makes you a hero, or did you tear up track with the rest of them? As I didnt see your car apart from parked up.

Again, didn't see your wimpy ass out there mixing with the rest of us, so who's the hardman?! At the end of the day, I drove mine the whole way there and back, so no matter how briefly mine was on track, it still WAS! I may not have ragged the shit out of it to braking point like the locals, but they didn't have to drive it as far as I did. So do one knob jockey

Certainly not you pal. Some little ginger 4 eyed cunt calling people names on the internet because they don't agree with him.

You think you're a hero and can talk to people like shit from the safety of your computer just because you went with your daddy to Gatebil just to do 1 soft run up the strip? What a joke.

Man you're such a typical troll, preeching and belittling the efforts of the ONLY person that took a car from this country. Where the hell do you get off being so critical when all you did was jump on a plane and fly over...supposedly! Didn't have the pleasure of your pedantic prick self coming to me to voice your opinions then, why now? Oh yes, you're the true hypocritical "keyboard hero" You're slating my attempt in a straight line against a far more superior car and my limited track time on the Saturday, what a big man you must be. Do one numb nuts, the only lowlife joke here is you

Really? That's as much bullshit as all the "I nearly kept up with the Oppliger EscCos" comment you kept saying until the vid came up showing you getting destroyed.

Off the top of my head I can think of at least 3 others who took a car from the UK, two of them driving all the way there and back, and unlike you, I saw two of them driving hard on track.

There may have been more, but 3 I can think of.

As for the rest of the comments, it's always funny to see people like you being so abusive on the internet every time a smallest thing goes against them, knowing full well if they was like this to people in real life theydve been beaten to death years ago.

Teddy b. I call bullshit.

You have 8 posts, you come on trying to belittle Cochyn.

I wasn't there, although I wish I was.

If you could upload your vids of your track time there this would be great accompanied by other relevant photos of your journey.

If for whatever reason you can't, maybe some other fast and furious street racing for 2000g a pop that you have done

This will then maybe give a little justification for you being a keyboard ninja.

Anyway, welcome to the site. I hope you make many friends

Toodles

As above, glad someones got a clue

We spent loads of time looking for fellow Brits, nobody else bothered. Simple as, and Teddy's trully full of crap, hence why (for a change) I'm not rising to destroying him on here
