Default Croft - Bang ba ba bang ba ba bang bang!
For anyone at Croft that may well have heard a wrc sound a few times over the weekend..

Here is the car that brought some smiles to some unsuspecting faces and also a few slapped wrists to others


Neil from FastFords supercharged Mk1

Yep, the one on the Fast Ford stand.

Just pointless abuse, it just makes me feel good!


Aye, genuinely sorry to any offence my antics may have caused on Saturday.....I beleive the sound carries some distance. Sorry again for that.

But cheers to the Durham + Derby RSOC who wanted and allowed me out. I had settled to just enjoy shaking down and sorting out the teething issues with my FRST.

Good weekend for learning the FRST again. The Mk1 is sweet, threw my bag in the bag and cruised home.

Si, cheers, had this and my FRST back for a few weeks. Worth the wait, quality bits cost money. All the other cars in my fleet have never left the road.


RSTDave- Yep, just arsing about, i thought it must make for a good picture 'n gimme a cheap kick.

Found another vid this morning too, no sound? But it's made me smile.

Thanks again to all who made the Croft weekend so good!!

Have some faith, it's a proper conversion, all the stuff i'm enjoying/trying to break, can easily fixed for small money

Clare- I know, i did feel genuinley guilty and sorry about that little escapade.


Cars sweet as a nut. Now back down South again, I'm gonna add up my mileage today, i've done nearly 2000 in eight days

I can't deny it is a little ridiculous, but i really didn't want to make a nusiance of myself....these things just sorta seem to happen around me



I'll be getting a fancy system made up soon as i can afford. My neighbours and the MOT man complained about the slightly raspy sound it makes in spirted driving


But cheers Best behaviour from now
