Evening Graham

If you mean at Knockhill, I wasn't there! Would love to make the trek up soon though.

If you're talking back down our end of the world at Combe this weekend - I didn't see one there sorry Looked at most of the cars there and can't say I noticed a BMW Mini, not to say it wasn't there though...

Off topic - Hope the Intercooler business is going well? Been a wee while since I last checked in at GRS Motorsport HQ!

the red escort cossie goes well around knockhill,

its all down to tyres and brakes if ye have good tyres and good brakes ye can go round knockhill no problem at all and most things will struggle to pass anything,

the 2 evos had normal road tyres on and my yellow 1 has standard brakes lol so ye need to brake a wee bit early

J65...My car would be useless on KH and I know that!

I would see what way you both went round the track!, would be a diferent story if it was just a drag from 3rd onwards tho.


Look forward to seeing the evos on track again as they are always entertaing!

Chop,

Got dragged to JapPerformance last sat, they had a Scoob jump the rollers!!!!

A strap broke on a power run, the car skipped to the left at the rear and they killed the rollers.....Bent the Lower arm on the rear suspension so the car looked like it had 40 degrees toe in!!!!!!!! Ouch

They do have a big fan now tho

I didnt used to give wallace any credit until i saw a car he mapped at the TA at KH.

It was a EVO and the plate was W4 RSX, it was the fastest thing on the track and when I spoke to the owner he said it was 500 bhp and runing V power! The guy could have said 700 on race and you wouldnt have questioned him!

Love this one so much, I've posted it again! Out the vents and out the wheel arch - that is cool
