I just searched for the word "rainbird" from Paul.

As he normally calls him "rainbum" unless he is selling us (sorry I mean telling us about ) something that used to belong to mike, it made it very easy to find

The car will be my new track toy , I hope to put a simple bolt in cage and bufty a few bits but use it for what it was built for

with just over 500 bhp , CTS big tooth gearbox , and a very special Quaif diff and suspension and brakes to match its a great car .

My 3 door is near completion but now as its far to good to track will be a toy for shows etc , sad i know but its just far to nice to use , hence the saff purchase

Thanks to Jason agin for being a man of his word , justin for the phone calls about the car , and all at SCS for the work ,

Hope to have a good time in the car at croft and other track days this year

Buy a set of rainsports or whatever then, the trackday still happens if it rains.

Anyway, its only about 139 quid or something, so not exactly a lot to lose!


Get it booked



Ive been about the last 4 or 5 years (other than the one that was cancelled due to track maintainance) and its always been a great day

Paul,

you never know how quickly it sells out tbh. If there is adverse weather and the day gets cancelled they rearrange it for another day at no extra ŁŁŁ

Leave a 3 door as is and let people admire the car rather than snub it

now come on Paul....

all the people posted on this thread likes your 'track car' lol and everyone in the RS scene really admires your other 'track car'....the Caldex 3 door, probably the most admired car at Nat Day.

so people do admire track cars.

Maybe it is not but from the thread l read regarding said issue you certainly behaved like one in my opinion so thats why l put it,

maybe in person you are a decent bloke but l will probably never know.
