I heard about a long while back but thought it was a mickey take. Quite a few UK Skylines are going plus the fensport corolla and norris evo.

I reckon they'll be some seriously rich people out there offering large sums of money to purchase some of the leading cars.

Could be a nice earner!

Ł100,000 for a 15 year old Saff would suit me, they may be rich but not mad.

Would be cool, but if any car going from the UK, would need extra testing to cope with the extra heat out there?

we have 3 cars confirmed now, and have spoken at length with Rod and a couple of others already this week. looks like thursday night before we can sort the last place. due to the logistics involved at this late stage we can only take 4 cars across for the first event, but the intention for 2007 is to take along the totb selection of upto 10 cars if poss.

details are on the totb website about the event and redline will be covering it i believe.

No have heard nothing, when i do im going to Marks for a long chat & then make up our mind. Its an honour i suppose , but have to weigh it up against the derogatory remarks that are likely from this Forum , i see it started yesterday, dont seem worth it.

Hmm, lemme have a think,
Who bought the car?
Who pays the bills on the car?
Who has a nice little bald spot where chunks of hair have been pulled out over the car?
Who spent a pretty penny to get it where it is?


Answer - Was bloody you Rod ya mad old sod,

Make the decision on whats best for you, not what some numptys on the access to free porn (t'internet for you uneducated types ) say about it.

Hi
Have decided to withdraw from this, too much testing required on my new mods & not much point in detuning so told Chris tonight & he will be sending another car. I wish him well for this venture .
Cheers Rod

It really pisses me off when comments like this are made. There's always one... Lets see you dip your hand in your pocket and spend serious money on getting a car prepared for it.

And they're COSSIES not cozzys!

Rod, since when have you taken notice of 'derogatory remarks' and made decisions because of them? if my car was ready i would be well up
for this.
