Dont forget thou...JC had the car for a session and was over taking a few cars

Some awesome cars there today....but mainly the Silver EVO & the RS4/6's impressed me oh and not forgetting Andy's RS500. He seemed to be the only 2wd big powere car not breaking traction and getting somewere.

Daz's Dolly looked naughty coming down the straight

Best -- Daz's Dolly by a mile...so entertaining and made standing in the cold worthwhile

Worst - Merc Britcar........why drive a car that is so obviously not running properly,and then even when it was only using half the revs?

others that impressed me - Dark Blue Escort Cossie with dark comps,looked very quick,Seat Touring Car,Silver Evo 6,blue Audi S4 saloon,Porsche Turbo....few others i can't think of.

Good day though

marco that was some impressive driving mate and i know whats next on my shopping list for my rs2k btw lose that bollocks on the maifold and the cat mate and you will again be in shock for the difference that`ll make

i was gutted not seeing martin ex dtm merc not running right as that is a wicked piece of kit but my two favs was the cossie mk2 and the dolly for sure as all day they looked like they had a right battle on just keeping them straight

got to agree martin the more i think about it marco was not the fastest because of the car he was running but it has to be said he did embaress quite a few big bhp cars out there

martin you must get that car sorted the reputation behind a car like that deserves to be up there with the best the car of the day has to be the seat ,your merc should have given it a good run for its money

marco's RS2000 went VERY well, watched JC going round in it and seen him pulling further and further away from cars which should be much faster, lol

Dave Cos is the car of the day though, with only 4 gears he still took the piss out of most!!! anybody else would have gave up and gone home if their car started rattling as bad as his did that early in the day

cheers lads for kind words


To be honest on a day like this the bigger bhp cars would struggle a bit trying to get the power down .

The Rs 2000 was ok because it was set up for the condtions of the track and thats why it did well but you still have to drive it

Hi mate

to be honest you got away lightly with your car , i had alook at your car afterwards .

your car isn't too bad all you need is a 1/4 and rear trailing arm

the front wing is ok aswell that can be repaired easy you wont need to change the wing .

To everyone

all i can say it was good to see alot of fords out there and fair play for putting them out in the wet top stuff
