Default The Results of a cheap track car...

Just found these images of myself (Passenger) and Dan aka Cossiedrift from here (driver) from the Eurofest day at combe.

Due to unforeseen circumstances we were both unable to bring our Fords along as they were making use of there annual mechanical leave.

BUT fear not the Corsa 1400 was spruced up, serviced and signed up for action.
I must say Dan was flying around that track and as the quality pics show below he is more than dedicated into the corners.
These two are from Quarry if only we had slighty more power along the striaght most cars would have been put to shame.

Just shows you dont always need big power to have some fun. Id rather watch some committed cornering rather than something just blasting along in a straight line, that thats a bad thing.
