Default ok .............its time i owned up 4WD ????

well this weekend was the first test for my 3dr in its new guise.
all the hard work over the last year happened on sunday with its first rally as 4wd car, and i can honoustly say its the best move ive made in years with the car

the traction was phenominal, a very differant driving style was required but i took to it very well if i do say so myself
still had the car in a few sideways on the loose, we were on broken concrete/gravel/mud on gravel tyres, even the handbrake still works a treat, the car turned in beautifully and stopped as fast as we needed it to

i can honoustly say i will never go back to a 2wd rally car again the stone has been turned.

So Markk,

You've updated your 1986 Rally Cosworth to the same specification/running gear as a 1988 Rally Cosworth............

BUT you've done this in 2007 .............and now I suppose you want a medal for your efforts

I'm trying to work out if you are 19 years, a century, or a milinium too late.........whichever it is, better late than never

Nice one Mark

at the banter too

But with the massive fuel issues niggling at the sport just now lets all go back to 1986 for a reality check

Im glad its finally on the move again

Look forward to whooooooping your arse somewhere soon to show you you have wasted your time and efforts
