It was a very well organised day with every one behaving themselves.

quite funny seeing Jamie take his BMW tourer round the track

Had a good day, only 2 small things went wrong, the turbo oil drain pipe split at the end of the day & my centre exhaust hanger broke away on the weld.

Had good play with the other black 3dr (darkside one) & TAZ saph 4x4,nice to chat to you guys to

The car ran superb

Lucky it wasn't me driving at the time or i'd feel really silly right now

God was watching your motor that day ,

Si your motor does a little pop and flame when you was changing gear on the start/finish straight, nice

Si hows the rear bumper after the chav exhaust slightly hitting it

I think you should take the interior out and get Danny to put a cage in.



Must admit im looking forward to the engine going in but danny and boys at A drenaline have more work to do first to the chassis and interior before I can think of letting Jamie loose on building my motor

Thanks pal

We were really happy we got it finished in time, a lot of late nights and a lot of hard work went into making sure it was there so it was nice that it all came together, and we certainly had a brilliant time.

Yeah we do have an interesting selection of staff cars, the line up looks a lot better now the S2 is back though

Have you had it weighed yet to see how much the stripping out has helped??

It will be cool if you go for perspex windows (with sliders for toll booths/ventilation!!).

Nah, wont be fitting them as it's still used as my daily runner and needs to be secure.

Not weighed yet, we got a few more things to do yet

I thought McClaren was harder.

But it was fun as you went down hill towards druids

I liked Surtees best though.
