Well done Dingy, sound like you did really well yesterday Great times for a road car. I don't think you be able to get anywhere near the DTM car with a proper driver though sorry. Thats not disrespect to you or your car. Its a PROPER RACING car, purpose built, much more so than even Steves is. Yours is a very fast road and track car!

You can't argue with 1.12's lap times it does dingy if you were doing say 1.16's at best.

Also power to weight ratio is just one aspect of a racing car!

Please don't throw your toys out. You know I am a big fan of your car and you know certainly how to pedal it.

No, it shows just how fast your car is

P.S It wasn't doing 1.12's yesterday as it was the guys first time in the car and on Donno! he is clearly NOT an experienced racing driver either and certainly not a professional like you stated!

Martin, I reckon Seans car will be even faster than your Nazi staffcar.... with less power

who cares lol



you can not compare the car in the session when it was with you as i said andy was driving and has never driven the car before let alone the track and was told not to break it on his first go in it.


out of the three drivers we shared two sessions each,

with greg only getting one dry one as he did the first wet one!

and the session he did was when you where not in your car but the rs turbo,

and andy does have a race licence as he is racing in a megan coupe in southern track and race, but it is his first season back from a ten year lay off,

the only driver out of us who you could class as pro

quality is greg and thats only because he is two times british rally cross champion,

he has raced all types of cars and has done corporate stuff for ford ect and testing for radicals

but he has never been paid to race so is not a pro driver!

you are never going to get near good lap times with traffic and beeing carefull to only overtake on the straights,

we where not there to race but have some fun in the car,

anyway your car is still faster then mine

well in a straight line


bring on croft next year and make sure you are running full boost so no excuses.

AFPMSL - Nice edit there.

I aint.

Drove the car there and back, no trailor, overtook every car in my session. Not one other car was as fast in my session. Built the car myself. Drove it myself. Pitcrew was myself.

Why would i be throwing toys out LOL

Am happy as fuck

You have proved time and time again that you could have an argument and chuck your toys out over the slighest thing How many times have you left the site in a huff for example or caused loads of trouble on the back of nothing? LOADS.

what do you mean nice edit? I put that bit in straight away as I suddenly realised you may think I was being negative and I didn't want to start a row or upset you when I am a big fan of your car. It even says 'Last edited by Porkie on Tue Aug 22, 2006 1:38 pm; edited 1 time in total' at the bottom of the thread! As soon as I re read what I wrote I edited You are just looking for a row as usual!

Pleased you are happy and that you had a good day and were clearly one of the very fastest cars on track. Well done

AFPMSLOL - Not in the slightest.

Lee you don't know me one bit do you, not once on this thread have i looked for an arguement or slagged anyone off or thrown toys out of the pram.

I actually don't care what you think of me or the car lee.
On this thread you have been fine. I just wanted to make sure I didn't start a row or upset. YOU HAVE A WELL KNOWN HISTORY OF THIS!!!!

I have done nothing wrong so I don't know what you find so funny

I don't know you personally Dingy... but I have 5 years? experience of 'Dingy' online and thats who I was talking to. We ALL know what you are like on this site. You are ALWAYS rowing and causing problems. I didn't want to start another one and I don't now.

The reason I put about the toys out bit was to PREVENT whats happening now! If you need reminding what an twat you can be on PF, here is a quote from one of your best mates about YOU.

As good a friend as you are, i have to agree with Stu and Nicole, you're being a cock!

Sometimes you are just embarrassing to be associated with, so sort yourself out for fuck sake!


So thats why I was careful of what I wrote. I didn't want to spoil thread by you taking my remarks wrongly and kicking off like you have many many times in the past.

THE END I HOPE.

and once again well done on the car and the driving on sunday.

P.S Nutter, very sorry to use that quote but Dingy seems to have forgotten what he can be like on here and why I was being so careful.

Porkie, you arguing with Dingy is the same as me arguing with Chip.

There is no point, you will get nowhere (even when you do have a point ) and it's very frustrating

Dingy you tart

You are the man - we all know that! Heard that the car was going well - gald you didn't break anything this time!

I presume the Merc has some serious downforce aids, and a lot of adjustability? Don't know anything about the spec, but heard it was flying round.
