Croft pics from today
apart from getting soaking wet last night camping in a single skin tent 
had a good time at croft,
weather was a bit iffy but somehow weve both managed to get burnt lol,
fave cars had to be the luminous orange Evo, was like a fooking missile, though the 180bhp evo killing yellow nova defo put a smile on my face and no doubt a frown on those who were probably double the power but couldnt get anywhere near it, the poor chaps in the fq400 evo must have been spitting chunks!!!!
have to say though wasnt massively impressed by the skyline's, they didnt do anything spectacular
pauls car looked well now its finished, didnt get any close up pics though!!
the fastest evo ive seen in a long time
2.0 XE on weber 45's Nova... who pretty much raped anything on track
Rainbird...
davecos4x4? sounded fooking awesome though chattering as it went UP the gears while accelerating
some pretty fast 3dr
paul- NYRS
nutsrs?? didnt half shift and revved forever????
chunks 3dr

dave cos4x4 - Didn't realise that was you round the track mate. But as soon as you drove past I thought it was surging its tits off???
And i've never even heard surge before!
Hope there was no damage done etc...
And are you still on the same spec as your signature? Looked quick

I spent a couple of laps catching the Nova, and just as I was about to do my big overtaking manuovre in front of everyone down the start finish straight (having spent 2 laps getting into that position ), the engine did it's cutting out thing at the end of first gear and I had to turn the ignition switch on and off to reset the ECU, by which time he had pulled six car lengths - was SOOOOOOOOO embarrassing .

Once I caught him up and was following the Nova, you could hear him struggling for grip out of EVERY corner - it sounded and looked a real handful - I loved it, and he certainly knew how to get the best out of it.
Either the light weight made all the difference, or he was being conservative with the power estimate, as it seemed to be struggling in third gear and below with laying down the rubber : cry: (although I didn't see what tyres he had on ).

The little nova belongs to my mate Phil. It is a proper weapon. He's owned it forever It is 180bhp though but bloody fast. Mind you there's nothing left in it. Its like swiss cheese with all the 'less weight more speed' holes
Must be one of the most scary cars I have ever been in. Oh and Phil can drive it well, he's had it long enough to get used to it You can usually find him taking the piss out of much bigger and apparently faster cars at York Raceway whenever there's dragging on

Same could be said for yours Tony, loved the noise it made " DAVID" was texting me on the way back to Scotland how quick it was and then phoned later on to tell me all over again. I think you made his year
My cars getting the rev limiter raised to 7250 rpm next week , so should go a little better for Donnington
