Dont remind me man Nice to meet you at last man, we owe you one We couldnt find you when we went to shoot the Supra, and then we went round on the far side of the track, so didnt get to say goodbye

AG was awesome, driving the car like a Gatebil car should be, looked right at home out there, awesome

The whole show was fucking amazing, makes everything in the UK look uttery utterly dogpoo IMO.

Amazing cars, amazing action, amazing drivers, and the campsite at night makes USC look like a childs teaparty.

The birds on the whole show how inbred the UK must be too

They have TOTALLY the right attitude when it comes to performance cars over there, makes a refreshing change to the bollocks internet willy waving and nothing real to show for it in the UK scene.

Total carnage though, but in a good way...

Yellow Flag (1) = There is a crash so drift past it slower than usual.

Yellow Flag (2) = Warning, someone has decided to do donuts in the middle of a track session, so geat ready to slow downj and join him.

Red flag = Doesnt exist

Black flag = Your car is leaking fuel, on fire, or your wheel has just fell off

Chequered flag = Stop racing and start doing massive burnouts and donuts for the next 10mins



Right then, im off to buy an Audi S2....

Also I fucking love the way they decide wether to let you on track in the Exteme sessions!

"Have you a massive turbo and loads of power?"

If you have, job done, your in!

They wouldnt even let a 700bhp/600lbft S15 go out, as it had a 7litre dry sump V8, but didnt have a massive turbo strapped to it

Who was the white UK plated Rs2000 who was there? Looked ever so slightly out of place on track on friday?!
The guy in the carbon body 740 was going fucking mental when you was blocking the road to the track on Friday too, massive queue and it looked like some viking-spec voilence was about to kick off at one point

Go while it's still crazy. More and more norwegians are getting sick and tired of the all the fuzz, facefactor and the ever rising prices. Soo someone will get badly hurt or even killed at one of those days, and it will be the end of it all. Gatebil(streetcar) has turned into PengeBil(Moneycar)

that was kinda my point mate, its more like a lairy lads holiday to the med than somewhere some "enthusiasts" who barely know each other away from a car forum to go together.

whatever tho, still best show ever.

till someone gets killed (laxest safety rules ever, which is why its so fun, its insanely dangerous, crowd position and what they let the cars do!) as theyl have to stop it then...

Just finished cleaning the Escort, spent 9 hours
I thought you'd gone back to the hotel last night, didnt realise you were around the back of the track until i got the message from Renton when I was on my way home. I looked everywhere apart from there

Nice to meet you too
Expect to see you again at Ford Fair in August.

Oh and by the way:

I love them though, the Audis were without doubt the most incredible sights ive ever seen, not just how they went (which was mental, 265 wide slicks just being destroyed with all 4 wheels smoking and fucking rocketing down the straights like nothing else), but how they went for the mods done, and how well they lasted, especially the transmission!

And the Porsche, well...

Thats a long downhill straight to a slow hairpin.

He didnt slow down in time and went straight on and off the side by looks of it.

That must have happened just as we left.

It was absolutely pouring with rain at about 3-4pm, and I walked past the car as he was starting it up, and remember thinking he's brave or stupid taking a car like that out on those tyres in those conditions! Guess I was right!

Shame, was a cool car!

Me and my mate are building a corrado with an audi v8 and audi 4wd system, makes SO much sense as its just so strong and so cheaply available.

Well thats if he ever gets all the bits together, he's a bit slow with stuff like this, so I should say "might be building" really
