Class end to the festival, absolute legend!

No worries mate, I’m glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for the pointers by the way, showing me the lines was a massive help as it was my first time with the Metro at Blyton Park. The Metro is retired from Trackdays for now as I’m focusing on drag racing and entering it into the FWD Drag Series at...

Yeah it’s a K-Series 1.8 160 VVC fully rebuilt 2 years ago with piper cams and a remap.

I haven’t had chance to look through my camera yet but Kim assures me she took some good pictures during the afternoon session, I’ll get them up when I get chance. The Metro felt geared perfectly for Blyton Park and performed faultlessly all day. The head gasket seems to be in tact anyway!

A barry??

I think thats everything packed, apart from a new head gasket kit!

It’s been a tough couple of weeks on the spanner’s with the Metro after finding out my new Kevlar clutch had been glazed by a warped flywheel, I honestly didn’t think I was going to make Blyton this year. @cswalmsley came to the rescue though and gave me a hand (Not all hero’s wear capes)...

Just hope the catering company don’t try doing a runner at 7pm like the Pie Company last year!

Meeting up for food and talking about cars with like minded people was exactly how I got involved with the West Midlands group back in the day. It was never about racing around, boasting about how much horse power you had or even what car you had. It was about meeting up with local members and...

Ahh ... The good old days Don! Sharing cheesy garlic bread with Chris whilst the the creepy dude from Stoke starred at our WaGs [emoji23] (Now serving time at Her Majesty’s pleasure I believe) I agree though, these meets have gone massively off the boil. Me and Kim would both be up for a...

New extra spicy track pads supplied by George will be arriving soon. Proper looking forward to this now. I don't mind taking anyone for a spin by the way, just ask. It's the afternoon session only for my though as i'll probably be on Liquid Yellow 182 cleaning duty on the morning.

I’ll sort you out, don’t worry dude. Your reaction will be recorded in 1080p though!

Yeah the guy lives local to me and I’ve seen the car a few times in person, absolute death trap!

820kg. It’s a good laugh!

170bhp...

I won’t be needing a recovery truck [emoji6]

Hello...

Love Cadwell Park, well suited to nimble hot hatches such as the 182. Have fun!

I usually only get to admire Liquid Yellow in our garage but I spotted another today, very local but never seen it before. Spotted on the Oldbury Road driving towards the Toys ‘R’ Us M5 Jcn 2 Island. I was using the ATM at the Co-op and almost forgot to take my money after being distracted...

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone for a great weekend, especially Filters and Knuckles for the passenger rides (Both cars were ace) and of course Chris for the none stop #Bants! We had a top weekend with top people! Can't wait for the next one, I'll be bringing the little Metro for sure.

I was there on the 7th of June, only one RS Clio there and that didn't even run on track. Come on guys!

I think those wheels were mini lights Don, not a good look on my car IMO

Oohh did somebody say Shakespeare? I'm in! The race is now on to sort the old girl out for April, still a fair bit to do.

Haha...Are we talking about the Teggy here? I loved the car but I had too much money tied up in it, decided getting on the property ladder was more important. It didn't help that a friend in a Metro pulled 4-5 car lengths on me up to 100mph! So I decided to go back to my "Rover-Roots"

Street Racing has gotten out of hand in a select few places by us (A456) mainly...I'm not surprised they're clamping down on it, I'm far too growth up for that nonsense now!

Sorry to hear it's gone Ben, I had to do the same with mine earlier this year to make way for our first house. I'm still gutted now, the looks I got and the way it drove was second to none, such an awesome car. I'm glad it's gone though, I've never been so paranoid over an '04 car in my life...

Kim's will be tucked up at home too, there's really no point in this weather!

And ALWAYS a side of garlic bread Chris!

Guys, I'm really sorry for my lack of input on here over the last few weeks/months, my membership ran out and with the chaos of moving house I've not got around to replying to those who have tagged me in posts. Martin - The toy will not be in attendance as it is STILL in standard form! I'll ask...

Nice! The caddy is really a budget rat van, mainly for fetching and carrying parts for the SuperTro!
