Tim........ Butch........ is it the same person that i know?

sorry for being "ignorant"

if so then long time - no - speak!

last saw the S2 run at croft (Derby + Durham day)
and it was breathtaking, as per usual!

not sure if it was Butch`s car or Nick (from Perf Ford`s) car on the track at Nat day, or BOTH?!?!?!?!
either way a group of my hard tuned RS Turbo and Cossie customers rated the little grey S2 well within their top 5 favourite nat day cars

along side "that" black saffy, orange mk2 RS2000, red Esc cos, Wills RS200 and a toss up between 2 german cars, 1st is the merc touring car and also a certain Porsche that was doing very well on the track (UNFORTUNATLEY!!!)

We were both out there, and looking at Tim's sig they do actually look pretty similar from some angles!

Nice number plate Tim

if EITHER of you buy one, i will personally punch you a new face!!!

please dont go jap,
a) i dont think they are worth all of the hype
b) i really really dont like them

although,
i can see where the everyday reliability comes from!

then again my money was spent on a 1999 Audi RS4 Avant

Simon.
Tim,would it be correct to say the real cause of the slight engine problem was you was trying to keep ahead of a certan white escort???
Hope the new engine makes youre car even quicker,will deffo catch up with you at Croft,plan is to do both days on track,
Not sure if I'll do Nat Day this year,as I dont like the look of the Rock track layout.All the best,Micky.
