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?

But what does Peng actually stand for, P-engage?

Someone had a go at that.

God damn CS getting me into to these stupid ugly slab sided tanks.

It looks like someone cut the end off a rear spring and thought 'f*ck it that'll work'.

I think it's just a spare tyre rather than a spare wheel, I like how the radiator's sandwiched between the engine and the firewall, I bet they measured the range of that thing in yards rather than miles.

It's a much darker orange in daylight than it is in the garage, or is that just white balance issues from using a camera phone?

That Renault windscreen's enormous, everyone must have worn top hats back then.

Imagine driving around in something worth over a mill, every time you got a stone chip or a bird shat on it you could count the cost of depreciation in thousands, that's if they don't just keep appreciating into the future forever.

Forgot to mention that Blyton had a decent Cafe with nice food at a reasonable price, which meant I didn't have to cook a bloody thing all weekend, which I was really happy about as I was either drunk or hungover and would probably have poisoned myself.
