Default Just got back from santa pod! (56k Killer; 1.7meg)

My my my it was cold, but was a good laugh seeing as I wasn't gonna make it to bedford. Some brilliant cars there. Took loads of pictures.....



Why MX-5s are crap.... and we still had stuff to keep under my feet




You guessed it... M1 traffic jam...




I got bored.....




Chasing a MR2 up the road at 80mph... he took the corner at 80... my mate just said fuck that




Erm... Stu.. do you know how to put this up....



Well we worked it out eventually




Well got a reputation to live up too




Hmmm, sexy




Porker engined beetle, ran 11 second 1/4 miles....




Cossies!!!



Hillman? Was running a dirty big V8 thou




MX-5 with a turbo kit 170bhp, not bad really...



Very clean 3 door...






Jet Car




I'll just have a little Vodka....



The river in the morning, totally frozen :bawling:




Mustang running 12 seconds






Very very VERY tasty lambo...






My mate and his MX-5 friend






13second 300bhp ZVH XR2... and then nos




Erm..... (nah we didn't run out really, we made it to the petrol station )

So question is, anyone like to point me in the direction of a little techy information on tyres purely for the strip ? I recall a discussion on here about tyres for dragging but can't findit for the life of me

Thanks
