Default Heathrow on Sat - 3 door and Saph Cos?

Saw two very clean Cossies on Sat over by Heathrow around 3.50pm on Sat out for a run.

Both Moonstone (I think, not 100% on my Cos colours), 1 was a 3 door reg was D *** JHW or similar, the other a Saph Cos.

The 3 door had A1 Rallysport stickers in white in the rear quarter windows.

I came up behind them at a roundabout near heathrow, with a dual carriageway exit. May have had a little tear up off the roundabout up to the prevailing speed limit of course. Great following them and watching both cars squatting hard as they nailed it away side by side up the start of the dual carriageway

Won't reveal the outcome, but while I was parked up at the next roundabout waiting for them to catch up (bugger, ruined the outcome there) I thought how nice it was to see two Cossies out on a run and the owners up for driving them properly rather than fannying about polishing them.

Only chatted to the 3 door lad and his mate for a couple of seconds while we waited for the next roundabout to clear, then we headed off our seperate ways. They said they were on Passionford.... anyone know who they were?

I was in my Silver Evo.

Would have been a different story with the black one



Anyone know the cars or owners then?

Thanks Mr Devil

Pass on my regard to the two of them. Very good of Ben to drop over to the inside lane to allow me past, using his mirrors while hoofing it forwards he needed eyes in the back of his head!

Both cars looked awesome and sounded good, shame we didn't get a few more seconds to chat

What sort of power with the boost to up? Mine is always up (oo er). My old 5 Turbo with in car adjustable boost lived on max all the time.

I'd never want say just 400 bhp if I knew I had 600

A few mods to take it to 575 bhp currently. When the mapper finishes his work he expects 650 bhp, me I'm more conservative and hope for a mild 600+

You guys running 700 bhp then?

I'll await the licking



Always a pleasure having a run against other quick cars / bikes

No im only playing....I was on full boost!!my saph is only stage 3, enough to annoy a few cars but if yours is 600bhp then fairplay!!! Good tear up though....its a shame you didnt have a chance to race Chris in his 3dr properly mind you!!

There's always another day!!!

It's Silver with a lot of carbon panels on it. Didn't go to Combe sadly, new exhaust needed before I even go near the place

Yeah, was too short and not an ideal place for racing around, was nice to have a couple seconds at full throttle in London - that's a rareity it seems!

It's ok for now, can't afford the bigger turbo I wanted to run, and currently it's still very road driveable.

Hi Chris,

Take it you have a few mods then? As said, shame we didn't get to chat for more than a couple seconds. Damn dual carriageway was too short for a proper blast!

As said, there's always another time

I was parked up at the lights behind you on a roundabout, they went green so rolled across the roundabout behind you, then yours went green and off you shot!

So I dropped a cog and went after you

Was just going to roll up behind and take some pics as the cars looked great sat side by side waiting for the green!

I was up there taking friends to North London and then went to Heathrow to meet another guy to pick up some more 18" wheels for my car as my collection of 17s only fit my black Evo.

Pricey hobby!
