Can see why they cost so fucking much now! They unbelivable

We was talking about cars before we wnet out and it and soon as mentioned the Cossie and it having anti-lag he was like "right, watch this then" and put the torque split tofull rear bias and the ALS on full and was caning round

The paddle shift box is mental, makes even the fastest dog boxes ive seen seem slow!

Properly 'avin it he was, "is this sideways enough for ya" is about the only thing I heard him say over the intercom

Brakes take the piss too, literally come out your seat, the harnesses are 100% vital in one of them!

 

Pics!? Vids!? Keys!?

 

You lucky bastard, who's got one of those then? and where did you go out in it?

 

Yes

"Ireland’s legendary rally ace" Eugene Donnelly Spot on bloke actually, unbelivable driving, made the Instructors there look proper shit


Rockingham

This car actually

 

APMSL @ KEYS

 

Scene him on motors tv, didnt he used to drive a gold wrc scooby?
Very entertaining to watch

 

there a far step from a production car

 

looks like my old motor,engines a tad different tho!
how was it compared to the fensport corolla mate?

 

Acceleration is on par with it to a 100odd, but obv then the fensport one has far longer legs and keeps on till 200+ and the WRC tops out at not much over 100.

But everything else in a WRC is in a totally different league, well, totally different to any fooking car

Cant describe it, but it was the tits

WRC cars are so far and away different to your usual road or competition car its unbelivable, being in one when driven full-bore by a top driver you realise they far FAR more different than it seems when you watch them or read about em.

Made the brand new GrpN STi Scooby there look pathetic

 

Eugene has two corollas,his brother Charlie wrecked one last year and they didnt have time to get the car fixed for the next round of the championship so they went and bought another car mad bastards but very nice blokes

 

Yea, a lot of the people blatantly refused to get in the car with him, esp many of the Kumho people as they knew what he was like , but people who are insane and likely to crash make me wanna get in even more

He was really driving like a mad man, none of this smooth instructor type business, he was going fucking wild

4x4 or not we had smoke pouring from the tyres round most corners

 

Steve,
you should get your ass over for a round of the tarmac championship where the top 30 are all WRC cars

 

Justin- Yea, Irish tarmac is the No1 championchip outside the WRC in my opinion for pure quality of cars

Helps that they all nutters too

Watching them aint quite the same as being in the car tho

 

very jealous ov ya mate

 

What was you up to at Rockingham today then, apart from belting around in a wicked motor?

In your opinion do you reckon the blue norweigan one is the same spec WRC kit wise then? seen as thats a toy and this is for real! I know you aint been out in the escos so its hard to say lol

 

steve

thats what all wrc cars are like

 

Dan- Cant remember the total spec of the blue norwegan one, but it was the transmission that is the biggest difference, if the blue one has the full on wrc active diff type transmission itd be as good if not better, esp with the extra power!

Wasnt today, was yesterday, but spent most the day driving BMWs, from Mini's to M3's.

Also went in this mad single seatwr thing doing 155mph round the oval too- feels a lot faster in a tiny single seater, lol.

And eating and drinking lots of free posh food.

Was a Khumo tyres launch/test day

 

s2's do that dont they?

 

Sounds like you had a good day mate

 

Sounded like a great day All purpose built race cars feel different to road cars tho, even minis, just the more expensive ones are more different

 

Not really, no

 

Fookin lucky bastid!

What do you do for a job then? Apart from not alot!

Oh, and yes mate the blue one had fully active diffs from X-Trac

 

i saw one of them at the munster rally in ireland and fuck me
was it loud mental car

 

Was this the same bloke who drove Pat Dorans escort at brands last year?

 

Simon,
no that was Andrew Nesbitt he's on crutches after an off at the Donegal International a couple of weeks ago.......the serious cadbury's guys are in the mk2's if you ask me,complete fruit and nut jobs
