Brilliant day with a good turn out and i were only .1 of a second off beating the 500 bhp skyline

We had a good turn out running a good 6 or 7 cars and the lad with the arial atom (supercharged) ran a 11.something. My brother actually ditched me to cadge a lift in the atom,said it were amazing,weighs in at about 500kg with 320 bhp!!!

Well done mate, very good time and terminal speed

You might find it hard to get them last 3 tenths.

Ive seen Pulsars and Evos on road tyres manage 1.6 60fts, and if you managed that youd be well in the 11s with no more power.

Impressive times for a Cossie tho regardless

i went to york but i took my 2.5tdi A4, didnt run the saff due to an irritating oil leak.

anyway i had an interesting day......... the lad i was with took his stage3 4wd saff and on the way there was a spotty oike in an Evo3 right on his bumper from the hull/scarbro turnoff, after the roundabout the evo booted it, i followed in the A4 and was on his tail untill about a ton, at that point Johnny realised the Evo a good hard spanking and he obliged to the point of 140+ when the evo ran out steam!
needless to say we rolled past the evo in my A4 pointing and laughing as he went from being ultra cocky to ultra probed

oh, while i was there i asked a lad in a magenta saff if he knew anyone after a set of 1000cc injectors/chip and board (norris mapped) L8 setup and he went and asked a mate or someone who was building a cossie up,
anyway when he returned he bid me £20 for the lot, obviousley trying to be big infront of his onlookers, what a fukin cock.

if you are reading this, i will be at york next bank holiday and yes you are a cock........... £20?! quick give me your money as the setup is worth nothing

if i knew i was gonna deal with big headded fukwits i would never have asked, me working in a ford breakers made me think he would be honest or atleast slightly interested but no, he had to act the big lad infront of his mates.
Good on ya, gained a laugh and kept the crowd.

see you next time

This was after i went to the effort of asking a few lads if they were interested

Just a joke mate no need for the insults obviously a bit of an internet warrior as you said nothing on the day

Just so happens one of the lads i asked is intersted as he is on with a project.

easy to call someone a cock on a pc hey
