As in our Elise, as opposed to an Elise? Bear in mind we do a complete arrive and drive, maximize testing and make a lot of (not required!) mods so are not reflective of the series as a whole. We spend at £3k a round on being there, plus whatever we've done to the car itself. Duratec conversion...
Just think they look awful, personally. Too much going on...really noticeable shutlines, just not my thing again. My neighbour works at Ford and has had an estate version for ages. When it is parked to mine you can tell VW and Ford have completely opposite design philosophies! I'm a less is more...
Cool static pics...
Of course, the problem here is your 'affordable' FRS plus a kit, plus fitting (incl. massive bodywork), plus wide wheels, plus suspension, plus engine upgrades so it isn't all mouth must put into the territory of some very decent cars.
No. Very few series will you actually win money, and if you, it tends to be because the entry fees are higher. They have instead made it as cheap as they can, which brings the big, 40+ car grids. Pretty impressive when a lot of series are really struggling right now...
The induction is not...
After a successful outing at Zolder, last weekend it was back to the UK and to the penultimate round of Lotus Cup. This time up it was Donington, on the GP circuit which would be a first for me. The race weekend layout was an odd one, half a test day on Thursday, track day on Friday (on the...
I actually think the DB9 represents more of a bargain. I think it's a better looking car, or classier as people like to put it! It is isn't a pretender, just a classic GT car. The V8 came on the scene to defeat the 911, but it didn't. I personally couldn't pull alongside a 911 believing i'm in...
A GTR hardly has comparable running costs!
I'd finance a 1M personally rather thank sinking money into a 135i. I've not ready a glowing report on the 1-Series, it should be better than it is. The 1M on the other hand, has been rated better than the M3. It is rarer, much more special, and will...
Worked it out now! Just took ages to load because it was disc. It also did this weird thing where if you rewinded, it was a completely different bit of footage! Sorted now i copied to to the desktop :o
Hi Guys,
Found an old video on DVD. On the disc, there are separate video and audio files. It is one of those auto-loading things that has chapters and shizzle. I can't open the individual video files in movie maker (they are .VOB files), they just load as blanks...
Would love to get them...
Just the same name; think i know the other Rob Fenn you are talking about as i've chatted to him briefly before!
I have the timetable now; the race is actually on the 7th and not until about 5pm. Got a bum deal there!
Someone passed on this clip where you can see me getting dicked at the start...
Re: Audi TT Quattro Sport - Clio trophy 147/500 replacement!
Looks like a great spec and glad to see you are de-chaving it a bit. I would personally have silver wheels to complete it.
Thanks for the kind words guys, i try to make an effort with my report (my missus was laughing at me on the sofa last night :dapprove:), but i never am sure if some of the things i say are a 'you had to be there'.
Zolder is not that far away, 4.5 hours from London. It is very close to Spa and...
So what was the noise limit? And why was it enforced like that? Sounds ridiculous and a real shame... especially considering the low entries.
Great pics there and nice to see people's write ups on what must be an epic event. Is the FD2 quicker than their old DC5?
Presumably the Chevron was...
This year's European round was to be at the much forgotten Zolder circuit. Once an F1 circuit until Gilles Villeneuve's death, it has had little investment since. The pit garages are unchanged, so certain elements have a real feel of history about them. And when the older cars are around as a...
