hope you like sorry about the quallity cheers dunc

 

Porky shyline looks like a battle ship

 

porkie was on in the skyline? How did that go then?

 

it went out a couple off times i think, but cost to much in petrol to run all day lol

 

It was "okay", but when you're driving someone elses Ł33,000 car and he has told you to be careful of the water temps, it seemed "slow" .

 

you had a blast then?

straight line speed? mother ship?

how many cushions did you need? you'd have been dwarved in there

 

I broke the centre diff! on the very first session battling with the M3CSL which was wickedly fast Also the water temp was showing 115c after 2 laps! SHONKY DATSUN

I was only out in the afternoon as Renton only turned up in it at 2pm!

 

thats plain rude of renton then!

shame you did the diff in

whats the bhp again? how does it compare straight line against the sierra? does the weight hold it back a bit? what will it top out at?

fantastic car

 

It is a big heavy car and it sounded awesome, but didn't feel that fast in a straight line either. It's also disconcerting when you can feel the transmission shunting the power round, as you're not sure what it's going to do. I did drive it very conservatively through the corners though and had to slow down after each hard lap to get the water temps back down . It later transpires that it is a common problem with the sender for the display and nothing wrong with the car .

 

Nice pics.

 

Chop,
It wouldn't even see which way the Sierra went .

 

mike
not that fast in a straight line?
lol@slowing down for no reason
i guessed the sierra would door it on track. just wondered straight acceleration.

 

Didn't feel fast at all actually. It was spluttering and misfiring on 1.2 bar so it was only on low boost when Mike drove it. So its got a few problems to be honest right now as it was FAST when I first got it....

It was awesome though the bends though

Gutted about the centre diff though! that is going to be a HORRIFIC amount of money

 

Lee,
Probably spat it's dummy out at being driven like a Skyline should . I bet it can't believe what has happened to it since changing owners .

 

There was somebody taking photos on that corner all day. Does anybody know when and where they will turn up? I assume that they were taken by an official Bedford photographer?

 

pf nick was there with his photographer most of the time

 

yes there was i spotted him a few times when my brakes had fadded and was going straight for him lol

 

Nick? Cool

There will be some of mine in there then

 

Nice pics Dunc Top one`s meeeee!!

 

Fast Ford photographer was around on that corner and in the pits

 

do you have any moreDunccoss? any of the black escort mk2 rs2000 or the sierra estate?

 

Nice pics.

Lee - skyline does look good though. Shame about the diff.

How gutted am I that I couldn't make this one - I love Bedford, but what was with the coned off bit, and not using the start finish straight and the first two corners?

 

no sorry mate thats all ant took, got some in car video but carnt host it

 

They had done some repairs to the side of the track (summit to do with the drainage) and the concrete hadn't gone hard due to the cold weather so to be safe they cut that section off...
