Nice to meet you Michael, thanks for organizing dinner

James (with the very burnt neck)

 

Car the Day before the Ring trip!



1050 Faltless miles!! Drove all the way to the Ring Raped the Car "as Richie put it" for 25 laps and then drove home, car took 0.5L of oil and that was due to the oil change anyway i think

most magical butifull fantastic place i have ever been to ever!! i absolutly love it there!!

Woke up saturday Morning to the sound of a endurance race! Dodgeviper made the hairs on my neck stand up every time it went by what a Fcking Car!!

Managed my first 2 laps that evening and was totaly pissed that the Subaru Understeered like a bitch!! and i wanted to set light to it as i missed the Escos so much!!

next day i went out and took my time trying to learn the track and with mike showing me how to make people look silly while driving my car i knew it was the aggresive driving style that was more of the problem than the car

Have to say it was so busy it was real hard to keep on the lines as i was forever moving off the line to let the faster people past and the bikes are a nightmare!! Bikes and Cars shouldnt mix IMO as they deff have a screw loose going on the ring in the first place

bottom line anything under 10:00 and i would be happy and 3 up with Jim and Rich in the car i done a 9:32 witch may not be that fast but im happy with it and at one point i have the back wheels off the floor

Mike R : thanks so much for inviting me along and opening my eyes up to what was one of the best holidays i have ever had!

Richie A.K.A B9KOS : your an absolute Legend and ive told Franco hes dummped as your my new lover Honestly tho thanks for keeping me company to the ring while we was there and on the way back, feel like ive made a new friend

Ryan, James A.K.A johny bravo and Kelvin : was and Absolute pleasure to be in your company and i look forward to the next outing/holiday/meet

ohh i think im allowed one of these now too



what a Great time!

 

good scooby that, glad to see its still going strong. fucking animal round the ring JC.

 

im jealous Ben! sound slike a wicked time with a hassle free car!

 

This one? German fella called John?

 

Never got his name mate but yes that is the car, its been in his family from new, awesome

(he was unaware I timed his lap btw)

The best bit was he didn't even seemed fussed about getting me out of the car, he went straight back out after the first lap and lined up to go out for the 3rd time but I felt I was possibly taking the piss so I got out.

 

Has he kept the E30 engine in that M3 or is it a later model engine? Prob my fav M3 those!

 

Its still a original 2.5 4 cylinder engine, although far from standard.

Its not staying in there too long though as he said they will be building a 2.7 4 cylinder for it next

 

just to clarify on my oil situation. the only time i ever checked the oil was in the morning, and it was perfect, the car has never used a drop of oil, so this was normal. i did not check the oil level throughout the day, but i'm confident it wouldnt have lost any unless a leak occured.

when rich checked the oil he told me it was bone dry and had none in it at all, hence why i told everyone this in the carpark and we all cracked some jokes about it. however when i checked the oil before the AA/ADAC picked it up in the evening, it was above the minimum, oil must have magically appeared back in the engine eh rich? anyway, doesnt matter what happened really, as it's fucked and needs fixing

anyway, WHAT A TRIP! i'm still on a high and want to go back. made a load of new friends this time out, and hope to see you again at the next one

special thanks go out to The guys who got me and rich safely home thismorning, we're honoured to know such a top group of people

i am SO happy with my 8:38 time it's untrue, what was even cool tho was that SiB passed me on that lap, and did an 8:30!

ginge let me have a go in his scooby and i was PROPERLY IMPRESSED, no longer will i slate scoobies, it was so much FUN! i spent ages buggng him to let me take it out again afterwards

 

I aim to please! some crackin shots of your car!


Dan - they were all MY old discs!! Lee is far too posh to have cd's littering the car... his are all on his Ipod.... shame he doesnt have a connector for the car though eh!

 

at work some random webcams shots of fords maybe some of the owners are on here:

Cracking vid maria the trip looked amazing

 

Its still a 2.5 4 pot.As Johnny says over 300BHP

Think of it as a 1990 DTM car poured into a road car shell. Every single part has been modified. Its one of those "complete" cars i.e. Everything is better.



Trick GrpA suspension with different mounts
