HAHAHAHA!!

Funny, you'd think i'd be hung over and depressed after only a couple of hours kip, but nope


AG crew deserve a good mention for being legends of the Platinum lounge!

I really really enjoyed the day, bit bummed out by killin' the Bonus, but it's had a good innings.

Was ruined when i got home last night tho.

Haha, alright Jay

Nothing major, just relentless abuse caught up with it.

Done sooooo many miles in in lately, roadtrips, fast road, trackdays.


Heard a few noises, then BANG!! And i mean a big bang, steering was all over the show, brought my speed down, cabin filled with smoke, my passenger was lookin out the window at the wheel as it was lookin like it may come off.


Bearing collapsed and maybe the gearbox, i said before the day if the box survives i'd be impressed.

It will be back and better within a week or so i reckon


Just in two minds now, do i keep it and make it faster, safer and handle better or sell up.....

:-( Tough call

I LOVE it, but my Fez is nearly done and my car modding budget is always over the top.

Neil - Fix it leave it as it is!

Have one semi reliable car then, once Festa is ready sell it on as BUDGET BONUS.. not as BIG BUDGET BONER

Too right, leg-end's for sure! What a funny night, especially that....errrmmm....certain employee of that fine establishment asking if Andy G was married? Quality!

As for the Bonus, Neil ya know its gonna be heart breaking if you sell on. And surprisingly, its in really good nic all round...appart from what you knew you'd kill yesterday! Listen to peoples opinions here, you know you want to keep it. A Puma or Focus would be too costly at the end of the day mate

Lets face it, you'll be needing the cash you save from buying a new Bonus to repair the Fiesta RS when you brake it next time

i wish i could have got the the night out but i had a few problems

i was really glad i drove down through the night though getting to the gate at 2.30am
after hearing peoples traffic troubles it seemed a good choice

also bringing food was a good choice as it would have broke my hart having to pay £3.30 for one of them scabby buns out of the cafe

top day though hope i can get to some of the future track events
