I don't... I tried to smile and start a conversation a few times. didn't seem that friendly!
We were parked near each other at one point. Sandwiching a lovely 911
he is cool. 70euros... uploading them now!
did seem a little steep BUT we all have to earn a living dont we! so I dont begrudge him a penny! or cent as it was ;)
Not sure. sorry... dont wanna sound like a complete penis but its not something I think about really!
BUT people do ask it alot!!!! its weird! the fuel costs on running supercars or highly modded Fords or jap stuff is TOTALLY irrelevant.... sadly you always have a £5k bill waiting for you...
Its the Hairpin here. Slow left hander. [
hope this pic helps.

They sure do!!!! I've hired lots of cars from RSR at the Ring over the years.
They go REALLY well.
The Ring is ALL about track knowledge and driver skill. Not the car.
Renaultsports are awesome at the Ring. Hired all these Meganes as well! all superb.
Too tough! and I wouldnt wanna hurt any of their feelings by choosing one ;)
I would say though for what it can do and for what it costs and for making me smile. The Clio is a STAGGERINGLY good car!
what end up smashed to pieces with a broken back in Morroco? ;)
Only joking! I do know what you mean. I know and massively appreciate how lucky I am. :)
it originally had the standard 'whale tail'
Both cars used to have that livery...
after the Escort was written off at the Gumball it was rebuilt and the colours altered and as you said a WRC spoiler was fitted. I decided to rebuild, and repaint the Sierra to match.
We HAD...
I am in South Africa for England v USA game so cant make it sadly.
Would love to go though. Meet some of you guys and also Bedford is like my second home! I LOVE the place and know everyone there really well as I take clients there on the motorsport sensation days alot. (which are MEGA MEGA...
sounded AMAZING!
SMELT awful after about 10 mins!
Supercars dont do hill starts in traffic very well... so going up the many steep ramps was a NIGHTMARE....
Burnt clutch smell is NASTY!
Hatton is proper hero!
some pics for you.
The underground garage of George V in Paris where we stayed the night before was just MENTAL!
Some from Morroco
Legendary car and driver! Rob aka 'Lonman' GT2 driver who came up with the legenary quote 'its...
TOTALLY agree!
I had a standardish R33 GTR and it used to do exactly that. shrink around you as you drove it.... then you get out and see what a BIG car it was!
Took my mum and dad to a wedding in it once... and I remember doing HUGE speed on the M6 tollroad on way back with parents snoring...
cool photo mate!!!! Ricky is such a nice guy huh! Met him a few times. Last time was in Ibiza last year. I took some clients out there and he was staying in our hotel. I spotted him at bar and went for a chat. We got on well and had few beers and stuff. I said to him that I had a big table...
No I was in the passenger seat of the Reyland Escort... Not for long though. I flew out after first few rolls and car then rolled over me and crushed me breaking my back.
I had just unclipped harness to grab my camera. Was bad timing but sooooo lucky to survive a huge speed roll with no belts...
Both had them on. As adz will tell you... The no seatbelt warning beeper in Ferrari is loudest and most annoying in world! Impossible to drive anywhere without them...
I ALWAYS wear a belt everywhere... I learnt my lesson when I broke my back and had to learn to walk again after not wearing a...
Yep! thats the one.
he sold it to a girl called Helen.. she asked me to show her the lines around Bedford at a trackday few months ago. I LOVED the car! tried to buy it off her at end of day I loved it so much. one month later it was mine!
I sound like such an Essex chav in this vid! mainly...
Thanks Mat. In Green I actually like those style wings. in most other colours I don't. But that kinda works in a 'classic Lotus 7' way. Also you get alot less stones and crap whipped up with those ones.
bet it sounded good on the carbs as well!
will let you know on trackday. You can have a...
Yes its awesome. lovely balance between luxury and sportyness. Still kinda fun.. but very comfortable and relaxing to drive.... and 'cool' in a way that a red ferrari can NEVER be!
No they deliver power very smoothly and progressively. which is a shame as I quite like a big boost spike and a kick up the ass kinda power delivery!
Felt very nimble and the body control was superb. Very impressive and fast on track. Terribly hard ride on the road with the G-attack...
Yes should be great.
Cars and watching all sports are my passion. Fortunately I am very very lucky that my job enables me to go to all the major events. Am off to the Ashes in Austrailia over Christmas as well. Looking forward to that! have spare seats in my box if anyone is in melbourne over...
Thanks. Ferrari tip? just rev it HARD! and enjoy the experience :)
The R34 was running a Dyno proven 552bhp... had HKS 2530 Turbos and few othere bits and bobs but it never felt that fast.
The Sierra and Porsche both used to WALK away from it in a straight line.
it had Nismo G-attack...
