The only reason it looks good is because it was clean and unabused in the morning! 
Cheers Harvey, not had it very long, but I'm cracking on with it at record pace!

I doubt that anyone would have told you that 888's give as much grip as slicks in bone dry conditions BUT as lots of track days do not allow them then the 888 becomes ideal. On the flip side put some water on the track and then compare the two!!
I don't want anyone reading this thread walking away with the impression that the 888 is not a good tyre for track use because that is not the case. I have these on both of my cars
Going back to these Pirelli slicks, I'm sure Harvey told me they were part worns previously used on Porsche track cars?

Well BE persuaded, it'll be an awsome day! Luke will finally have his car finished!
Sorry about the Harvey bit, just got stuck about the car
As for Porkie's old 3door, Blacky and I had a chat with the son of the bloke who now owns it, says its running well and very enjoyable. Good to see it still going strong, what a car!

PassionFord Post Whore!!
Less than a second after this photo was taken the Sierra driver ran out of talent and skidded across the track nearly taking the Escort out in the process. Don't know how close it really was but from where I was sitting it looked far too close for comfort!
milimeteres away.

In my mind:
"Heroically Mike Rainbird spent 7 laps tussling with the superior powered Focus of Andy Gallagher and managed to hold him at bay through sheer talent and skill, before in the end a superior out-braking move by Andrew saw the battle won by the more powerful / lighter car"
The reality:
"Andrew Gallagher caught Mike Rainbird after not even starting in the same group, appearing from no-where in his mirrors, Rainbum indicated, pulled over (without a squeek), let him through and never saw the Focus again (apart from in the pits)"

Andy had obviously heard about Mikes previous antics at Bedford a few years ago and decided to attempt to ram him off the track.
I was going to put it another way but the thought of a Scotsman ramming Mike from behind has put me off my lunch
