Why would they ban cosworths though ?

Plenty of others in nice cars binned it too yet I still see Ferrari's and Vipers taking part ?

Possibly I suppose they didn't like having their arses handed to them by a "crap old Ford"

Do you plan to do it again Porkie ?

Of course not!

I would like to do it again but Ł40k for a week away is a bit out of my league now really I'm afraid.

Its good crack.... but its not THAT amazing either to be honest

So your sponsor would be getting a pretty shit deal, sponsoring a car that stands little chance of being featured on TV, and wont have any of his/her decals on it
Not true at all!

That pistonheads cossie wont be able to be registered as new IMHO, it has a secondhand gearbox and secondhand engine, and I would be surprised if the shell has sufficient paperwork to be classed as new either TBH as all the 909 shells out there seem to have changed hands about 10 times now anyway.

porkie you cant tell me you WONT remember that trip for the rest of your life

that trip must have made you a MUCH stronger person that most people you would meet in your life time

not a good thing,,, but self achivement from the aftermath you must be a little self proud

one of the things ive had respect for you for was the way after what happened you STILL came to the essex meet ( ok you was dressed as robocop) and aint lost a passion that could have ended worse,,, not many people are that strong IMO
