Dan, really sorry for you mate such a basterd that was... All the preperation getting the car built etc. On a posistive note as it was my first time in the car.... Boy it handles like a dream.... Ford Fair will be great!!!!

If i can get mine finished and im sure yours will be tickety boo by then too.
Camping was a laugh but the 4 hours sleep in a sleeping bag made for a 6 year old was not a highlight of the weekend for me

However as you stated your favourite quote....

"Look lads not being funny i want to go to sleep now !"

Anyone for camping at Ford Fair

Lo@der

iTrader: (8)

Luke how much was that low-loader(wait for the pun) you hired out?
Normal licence, or age restriction?

Luca

iTrader: (2)

That thing was a dream...

Hired from Southern Self Drive for Ł178 for 2 days.
colelcted at 8am Friday - back sunday 8am.

Age wise no restrictions other than you need to have held a licence for 5 years. (You can drive it under a normal licence its only when you tow a trailer that there are restrictions).
Leave Ł100 deposit and has to be paid on a credit card, which they credit back on return.

Cost in total Ł76 in fuel too.

Where you booking it from then fella

Lo@der

iTrader: (8)

I'm sure i can find a local hire co. who will be in that price area.
Which one did you get, and whats the space like for tools, spares ect. behind seats or on the bed?

Luca

iTrader: (2)

Not much room really.....

fit a few bits behind the winch but will need strapping down
under front seat there is room and in the footwell.

But not a great deal... just load the saph up with spares mate.

I have just booked it again for Ford Fair just incase its not running.

The ABC escort went well with one of Joe's engine's from Bluesprint

Hi, i'm actually new here, but i was on track as much as i could be. It was my first day ever on the track, and i drove the car up and back and it performed perfectly engine wise. I didnt realise how much work needs to be done to the car

tyres were RUBBISH! and huge amounts of body roll. I don't know if i can make anymore shows this year cos that one cost so much. But i will be back next year with more power, especially as when getting home from the show, i found my supercharger back from the fabricators.

I would like to appologise if i got in anyones way, i'm sorry im a complete noob. And id also like to thank reyland for passing me so quickly, it was as good as experience as being out first time as i really appreciated how much of a weapon both are!

Basky

its not all about the power mate.
tyres and suspension and brakes will make you lap faster.

glad to hear you enjoyed it it is a good circuit,
cool pics too

volcomstone411

was looking into some toyo proxies, but the car will come off the road now, so maybe im better off buying better tyres?

and koni adjustables went on order today, as did omp accerssories.

Brakes were good actually, escos standard brakes, but on a lighter car. They were fading early on, but i was braking far far too early, braking real late and harder, they were spot on.

true, although i havnt driven any other circuits, ive watched around others, and i do like combe, after essess that slight right hander, burying the throttle, perfect moment

Enhanced Performance

yes the abc escoz went very well and had virtualy no problems considering this was its first outing... thanks fletch for your comments. there has been alot of time put in building that up from a shell ...... mental day wish i had mounted the camera in the car .... dan has been fixing the front bumber after my grass cutting incident .... nice to see my old sapphire there ( g952wbk) cant belive its still alive

Maria.

volcom - i saw your car flying around, you were doing good dude!! pleased you enjoyed it too!

Allyc85

The Gayzebo is dead now mate the wind killed it on Saturday daytime, went back to pack it away and the poor thing was mangled to death in the hedge. Sad times Only lasted 24hours from purchase too
I cant believe we must of had a good 12-14 people crammed in there, Gay 80s classics and even led lights and glow sticks FPMSL..




Good to see you though mate, and glad everyone enjoyed the camping the night before. Show was brilliant if a little breezy
