PS please replay and keep this post near the top!

 

 

I'd love to have a go at drifting but I don't think an understeering 4wd is a good platform to start on

 

looks good. shame i won't be able to make it, but looks fun and good price.

top organisation

 

I'll be there, make sure you let me know when you're running Gav (although I should already be about) so I can get some good photos for you

 

Think i will be there

 

Dee, pm me your mobile number.


James, take your front drive shafts out! (only joking)



Gav

 

I'm thinking of having a go at this! But not the drifting

 

If you do go to this Tim make sure you say hello if you see me

Gav, you have PM

 

You know how many places are left?

I've emailed the address, but I'm at work and if he doesn't reply soon, I'll not see it until Monday, and then I'll be pushing it close to get my money there for the 10th!

 

Tim, there are places left (as of yesterday) so you should be ok.

Gav

 

Should I just send a cheque in then?

 

Gavin E-Cos,

Nooooooooo! They haven't been in there long!

I might spectate, I'll see if I can drag Adrian along too.

 

not running this time...

might pop along as Richie's TSC events are wicked

 

It should be a good day, make sure you keep an eye out for the beetles that should be there

 

I'm dragging along

And I am on the case re Jamz front driveshafts

 

Confirmed Me and Adrian will be spectating It's all for a good cause

 

gah! Beat me to it

My driveshafts are staying put thankyouverymuch.

 

talking of Beetles......

I was coming home from the passionford meet on Wednesday night going along the A127 just cruising along...there was a car 100/150 yards ahead of me in the slow lane doing about 65-70..then i look in my passenger door mirror and see this fookin car doing light speed coming up the inside! Think hmmmmmmm wtf (copper maybe??) i think the cars idea was to undertake every1 before i came beside the car infront of me in the inside lane... i had other ideas....

So i sped up a bit just to close the gap so he/she couldn't be a hero and dive through the gap...the car blasting down the inside lane wasn't slowing down but the gap was getting smaller....then the gap dissapeared and looked left as the hero driver and the car was a new shape Bettle! thought, pmsl what an idiot...i had a friend in a Esc Cos behind me so overtook the slow car and pulled into the slow lane to get a closer look....bettle came up beside me and kinda slowed to my speed looked across and booted it...i thought right then u hero your mine! muhahahaha well anyway this bettle seemed to pull n pull n pull was doing over 6.5k in 5th (fiqure it out) and the bettle was still pulling at the same rate that i was...i thought.................kin ell tis a bit nippy...anyway ahead i saw what seemed to be police lights through the trees (400 yards infront perhaps?!?) so i backed off n slowed...the bettle didn't n kept going at max speed! it was a standard looking bettle with the Audi TT 7/8 spoke 18's on...as it dissapeared into the distance the car put it's hazards on...

any1 know if an Audi TT engine fits in? as i've got an idea the certain car had one fitted.

cheers

 

could be tuned 1.8t or 3.2 v6

 

was fucking quick whatever it was!

what power are they boggo? or what can they be sensibily tuned to?

as i ain't got a clue with tuning when it comes to VW's

 

1.8t are 225 as standard but can be tuned to 400 relatively easily.

think the 3.2 as fitted to golf r32 is about the 237 bhp / 236 lb ft of torque mark as standard which should not be bothering you. don't know about tuning them.

 

I know of some old beetles have Subaru engines in them and are fooking fast! I think that were getting 10-11 second quarters at Pod, I'd have to check.

The favorite thing used to be to drop a Porka engine in the old beetles as they fitted well.

 

Dee it wasn't an old bettle (the air cooled ones) it was a new shape 02 plate one!

didn'thave any funcky exhaust kit...just a set of wheels...goitta admit i 'reckon' it would have beaten me top end if i hadn't had spotted the copper!

Ask Dom about it as he was in Petes escort as i booted off!

 

Smit, I keep telling you to get a fast car!

 

beaten by a beetle!

 

wolf in sheeps clothing i say!

 

yup, the guy/girl must have a right laugh in it, taking on all sorts of cars!
good on them I say

Gav

 

BTTT

 

Not long now...send your cheques off!

It looks like this may not be happening now, please read this thread http://www.sxoc.com/vbb/showthread.p...54#post1253354

fingers are still crossed, I will update with a definite answer as soon as I know.

Gav

 

looking forward to that too

 

Yes, its disappointing, Richie is trying one more place but time is running out.

Spent last night taking out my subs & amps!

Gav

 

rekcon its just your shit slow cossie Smit :P

We didnt really get a chance to race him properly as I was shitting myself in the passenger seat of Petes car for the time we did though he gained on us.

Then wasnt shy getting on your case smit must have been something manly under the bonnet. bad boy sleeper I reckon. either that or you need a tune up

Might be worth looking on a VW website like PF, I Would be interested to know as well!

 

sorry but its off

its not Richie fault he has tried his best.

this is what he has said...

"I really didn’t want to be saying this guys but I really have drained every avenue now and unfortunately after being rejected by 18 Airfields and race tracks for various reasons I am going to have to call off the event for this Sunday. I am so disappointed for the charity concerned as on the auction night a bloke I work with bid £250 for me to take him up the runway so I am going to have to put this off until I organise another track day. They did however manage to raise £4657 for the little boy and Wooden spoon to split between them and also £1200 was raised for the Black Watch Regiment so not everything is this bad. Everyone who sent me a cheque can either have them posted back or I will destroy them, please let me know which you would prefer. Due to the cancellation I have 26, five U.S Gallon containers of Klotz 118octane race fuel sat in my garage along with octane booster and nitro power additives, so if anyone still needs fuel please let me know. I feel really bad for letting you all down but there really is nothing more I can do to make this event happen.
As for the M25 I had already thought of that option ."
