Default Big Thanks to APT

Well yesterday was an eye opening day.

Went upto to APT to drop Tony off for some reason Big thanks to Gary, Christian and "little" Chris for the days entertainment and hospitality.

Mr C offered us a ride in his RST. all I can say is FUCK! That car has sooooo much power, it just keeps pulling and pulling, then you have to change gear (not infront of people at weddings tho ) and then it starts pulling again, and keeps doing this until you run out of gears That car & engine are amazing, keep up the good work m8

Thanks to Gary for giving us a lift to the shops in your "family 4 door runabout" That Evo dont half shift with the anti-lag, but that poor clutch and gearbox it wont be long till you need to beg Debbie for new ones BTW I am NEVER going up a country lane with you driving

Oh and on the way home I spotted this, anyone know the car or driver? :

Thanks alot Tim

It is sooo much nicer to drive than the last one, the new management is great, and the Grey's are surprisingly controllerable and really nice.

I have a good feeling about this one





How is yours doing dude?

That is nothing short of amazing at this early running in stage. The engine just feels smooth and willing to pull from low down and revs very very nicely also it doesnt have any problems just cruising at low rpm.

The whole car is a pleasure to drive, the steering and suspension are something else for a mk4 escort. I almost thought i was driving my Focus ST170 at one point.
