No, the guard do nothing other than protect the fuel rail.

Not really, some people take it off to save weight (not that it weighs that much), or to make oil changes easier, i'd say it's better to have one as if you do have a front end impact it protects your fuel rail from splitting and setting the car on fire, but people that run throttle bodies don't...

What he said.

F*cking sh*t episode, not only have they ruined the General Mayhem but we're not even allowed to see the final race because Gas Monkey are pricks.

By normal stuff do you mean normal 97RON super unleaded, or normal 95RON unleaded?

I always use Sainsbury's super 97RON and the car's just a quick as other 1*2s that are only ran on V Power, if I have to put normal unleaded in the car runs like sh*t, but that's to be expected having a 98RON map.

Knee pads to suck him off whenever he wants, I get the feeling Hans is the junior partner in this relationship.

I can imagine the conversations when you pull up in the Clio : 'You can do better than that mate' 'I also have a Porsche' 'Yeah of course you do mate'.

I was f*cking incredible to see and hear one driven in anger.

You should tell them you drive a Ford Anglia just to see the confused looks on their faces.

Yeah well I wasn't trying.

Sadly I couldn't take any photos as I was driving, but over the weekend I was up in Morecambe for a wedding and saw my first Evo Wagon identical to this. I was also behind an orange Avenador on a twisty B road, unsurprisingly he f*cked off on me like he had warp engines, i've never seen a...

I think even back then people knew the Lotus Cortina was the desirable model, well you'd hope so, I couldn't bare the thought of it going in the crusher, the MK1's go for £50k these days.

I bet the scrapper put a for sale sign on it and was laughing his arse off counting his money at the end of the week.

Nice, what did it fetch if you don't mind me asking?

F*cking hell i'd be crying if I let a Mexico go for peanuts, but if we knew what cars were going to be future classics we'd be physics, rich f*cking physics!

The HC's with Brembo pads is a good setup for a quick daily, but on track I destroyed the pads on my first lap, I braked hard for a chicane and two huge clouds of black dust came out the wheels and the peddle went down and down and down until it was almost on the floor, they're good pads just...

My RST is one of the first generation units and is 8 years old, I wonder if the locked ecu is the same for all of them or just the newer ones?

Yep, if we knew then what we know now we'd have been buying as many old Fords for peanuts as we could and sitting on them, be f*cking minted by now. As long you had somewhere dry to store them, otherwise they'd just be piles of rust by now, but it was only 10 years ago they being flogged for...

It was only a 1.3 but even so, the retro scene kids pay silly money for them now. It pretty much looked like this, just tattier.

Still can't believe I sold my 2 door Escort estate for £85 quid, f*cking thing would probably fetch £2k now.

Just got round to watching this months episode, I knew the Rotsun was a piece of sh*t but I assumed that was just the chassis, turns out the engine, gearbox and electrics are total junk too, best/worst car ever.

I need your clothes, your boots and the crack pipe you've been smoking.

Sounds like it was a good weekend, you're right about making an effort about socialising, no matter what club you're a part of there are those that find it easy and those that don't, passenger ride stickers is a good idea though, we'll have to nick that for next years CSS.

Who was driving the F1 car?

They wish.

So what was it like then, what was the format of the weekend, just a trackday and people camping with their mates and not socialising?

That engine bay is a work of art.

Because you didn't have the heart to tell him a 197 is slower than a 172?
