The Orange 205 MI16 was the car of the day for me

Andrew G, focus was also very good

 

Is that it.............

 

Yep

The truth is

I forgot to charge my battery

 

Only blagging mate, i'm like you, can't be arsed half the time, i take the camera to all the shows then never bother..

 

 

Any pics of my silver saff lx?

 

I went out as passenger with Claire, Was excellent

 

she can DRIVE that 205, driver of the day goes to her. was out ALL day giving that pug absolute death showing up some healthy power cars. love 205 MI16's

 

She was doing the charity rides, so i paid my money and put my name on her list lol

She knows how to get it round that track thats for sure, enjoyed the ride out

 

would of loved to have a few laps in with her, gutted!!

 

 

 

 

Thank you very much

I LOVE my pug, Tangelina (we just named her the other day!!) She was in a right state on Saturday and nearly didn't make it out on Sunday. If it wasn't for my hubby Scott I wouldn't have been giving passenger rides But he managed to get her fixed and she never faltered all day. The only reason I stopped was because I ran out of fuel!!

I could have just kept on going all day, I love Croft as a circuit and I could drive round there for fun.

I suffered for it on Monday morning though, I thought I'd done 10 rounds with Tyson my muscles were so sore.

Roll on the next track day and more practice in Tangelina

 

this one?




it made an aweosme noise for an N/A, went all day and never stoped.

top work

 

Yeah that's her. Like I say she couldn't get moving on Saturday due to spuing her oil all over the engine bay every time I took her out. But that was solved by a bailey oil breather (I now even have some bling under the bonnet ).

I have to say a big thank you to everyone else who tried to help on Saturday. It's amazing how many people you can have trying to fix your car for you just so that you can get some laps in

 

was sick of the site of fookin oil on saturday afternoon but I got it fixed with an escort cossie breather, a 2 litre coke bottle and a number of odd samco hoses courtesy of my good pal Paul Linfoot.

Next track day for the 205 is in a couple of weeks hopefully back at Croft but with me giving her some death!!!

(Think i'll take my FRS as a back up aswell, LOL)

 

Loved watching Claire on track!

 

off topic sorry but does the blue escos in the first couple of pics have the new style 18 inch escos wheels? i just love them.

18" escos rims

 

Cheers, I'm so glad I went for Electric Orange. It certainly gets her noticed and she sounds sweet too

 

Hi Claire, love your car, so much so my better half said, i could
sell my S1 to get one lol

anyway next year, if you've still got it, i'll be sure to come and say hello

maybe you can show me and my mrs how to drive like that

Scott top job for getting it going for sunday.

p.s please could you pm me some details on how much it
would cost to fund somthing like your 205

 

Hi Mark, cheers for the compliment, Croft is our local circuit so I must have done about 6-7 track days there, it's a really easy circuit to learn so it doesn't take that long to get it right.

The Pug cost Ł2.5k to buy, it was already fully caged, had the MI16 engine and the seats in it so we didn't need to do anything to it really. I wanted it to have a bit more power so we bought some throttle bodies and new management and had it set up and she goes like a train now. We also had her painted orange as my intention was to go racing with her and in that colour she would get noticed more than she would when she was miami blue.

My racing plans are on hold for now, we are planning to have a baby so maybe in a year I can try again. I might do something like the Northern Saloon Car championship or even the Scottish Sports and Saloon car championship. I have my racing licence so the only thing thats stopping me is funds to get the car through MSA scrutineering. The costs of entering each of the rounds aren't that bad and we have transport for the car. Most of the rounds for the Northern Saloon Car championship are held at Croft and Knockhill which are both not too far to go.

Lets just wait and see what happens. As a track car though and to have some fun in Pugs are amazing. I know I'm bias but you really can't beat them for the fun factor and it's not like they are too expensive to fix either, should anything go wrong

 

Thanks for the info, thats a lot of car for your money!

what power is it running?

 

Its running about 170bhp. With the Jenveys, mgmnt and paint it probably stands us Ł5k but she's worth every penny for the fun you can have in her

When we had her set up they said that it should be closer to 185bhp but she has a compression problem so they could only get her to 170. If we keep her she'll probably have an engine rebuild ready for next year and then at least we'll be able to get the full potential out of her

I just wish there were more track days this year before we have to tuck her up for the winter

 

205 looks fantastic!

 

Cheers
