Default Another one! My FRS vs. the youths Escos.

Another victory for the FRS camp!
Had a bit of a play leaving our meet last night, the new blood won.
Anyone who was still in the car park probably heard...

The youths spec is as follows: T4, greys etc etc running 5 million psi and around 6000BHP.
































Not really, its a stg.1 "gay" turbo. Lovely car too.
Told Steve I wouldn't mention it on here, sorry mate.

All good fun though.

I cannot accept that Mike, who the hell ever refers to the Escos small turbo as an Escos ST? It just creates confusion! So I return your wholeheartedly!

oh boy i'm knee deep in shite here where the fook do I start with my excuses!!!!!!!

1. yes, plynchys focus did pull away slightly there wasn't much in it but I wasn't gaining on him oh the shame!!!!
sorry all you fellow cossie boys I was done!!!

2.The mondeo incident some 4 years ago!!! I was in my stg 3 saph.
It was a Dark winters night on a very dangerous road on the way back from a north yorks meet, travelling in convoy when one of the members in a turbo diesal mondeo (a new one at the time) pulled out to overtake I was in fifth cruising ie no boost he got the run on me so I let him go, it would have been very dangerous for me to have speeded up and try to stop him getting past...
so im not accepting I was done by a TD mondeo just I was driving safely..

anyway plynchys focus goes very well but didn't suprise me as I knew it was fairly quick before I accepted the bait!!!!

will have a rematch paul from 0 to 100 lets see your 2wd spin it's wheels to second place pal!!!

It's not girly mate, i'm pre-empting a fashion comeback.

On bloody nights again, some of that wonderful pre-paid overtime I was telling you about.
Start my 17 off in 5 hours tho.
