Nice one Chris, did you have to send any pics of the car to them?
 
Give a f**k about a better driver thrashing it around a track? Mine's been given enough abuse on track by me. I doubt anyone else could hurt it anymore. That said, mine is f**ked and I STILL need to get it booked in at Rentech or similar :D

getting it trashed is one thing but
getting it trashed and letting someone profit from it while you watch is another plus at your fuel cost.

i wudnt wanna buy it - knowing it got trashed in a field, circle or track without getting any after care:rasp:

Who said anything about lack of after care?
That also means that you wouldn't buy over half the Clios on here or anywhere and stop being so negative about everything.

Glad your car's going to be used, excellent example of a 182 Cup :D

Noticed though you haven't thanked me for PM'ing you about it or doing your avatar ;)

Due to the snow and ice the feature has been put back to the 22nd of January. From what i can see there will be another 7 cars featured and one of those might be a lexus of some description......maybe.

Well just got back from bruntingthorpe, 230 mile trip :dead:. Was an excellent day really enjoyed my self and has made me certain of doing a track day this year. First off it was nothing like i was expecting, with the posts on here i was thinking they were gonna thrash it round and kill it, oh no.

Arrived at about 9.15 and was first in then a guy turned up with a 306 rallye then followed by a integra DC2 TR and a Fiat coupe turbo. Matt who was supposed to be dealing with the feature had some other shoot to go to so he was replaced by a lovely girl called Vicky who test drove the cars (and really knows how to drive, i think im in love:eek:). We started off with taking pics of the cars in formation around the track at about 30mph, then moved on to some panning shots with us just beside each other, this was done at the end of the runway and we had to get back up to the top:D Me and the coupe turbo gave it some but he raped me then let off at about 90mph i carried on to 110 then it started to aquaplane, then a bit of poo came out.

Vicky took the cars round at a reasonable pace to get a feel for the cars but it was so wet she wasn't really trying. The cornering shots were taken while we waited under a 747. Then we made our way to take the detail shots of the car and our mug shots:eek:. While these were being taken Vicky took us out in our cars to see what they are like on the road, and returned for us to be taken back down the runway to where the static shots of all the cars together were taken. After them we were at the bottom of the runway agian. This time we had ourself's a drag race which i lost to the integra and the coupe turbo. In my defence it was me and my old man in the car and we aint the lightest of chaps.

The issue is out on the 5th of Febuary i think they said, i took a few pics but iv only put up a couple of mine so not to take anything away from the feature.

Was it Vicky Butlet Henderson doing the driving? As a teen I think I was in love with her..
 
  Maybe a 172 Cup..
Will have to purchase in morning. If VBH had sat on my seat, I'd be doing some sniffing, licking and maybe making a little hole in it, if you know what I mean.....
 
  Maybe a 172 Cup..
Good read this article. 182 gets a good review, a lot better than 'teg. Rallye was pick of the bunch though eh.......
