Missed a VERY good day Pal

Weather held good for the whole day but rain on the way home.

Was a really good mix of cars to play with

Was a brilliant day

Managed to snap some real top pics myself, and enjoyed the yellow Lancia, could have listened to him all day

Cossie boys were mint, that black one last few pics was gorgeous, real mean looking

Fair play Tiff, you looked good, even if I didn't snap ya

More pics here...https://passionford.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=151183

Glad you enjoyed it in the end Mark

Put some fun back into your motoring now eh..... proving to others that it needn't say 'cosworth' on the back to put a smile on your face

Stick with the 205 beam but mount it solidly with aluminium blocks rather than those rubbers and you will be okay

Well done to Jake and crew too..... your next

It's a good first track for a car like the 205 really - plenty of opportunity to use that chassis to full effect.

Bedford is a whole different kettle of fish, but I'm reckoning you'll enjoy it a little more, as yuo can push harder than you ever will have done before

The black Integrale looks as hard as nails .

Tiff,
Bet you're wishing the 3-door had some action under it's belt before you sold it .
