Since you got rid of your girly car and got a manly Subaru.

 

Steve,

I was there with bells on mate!!!!

Organised the Norfolk group lot.... Got loads of video footage, especially my brother's cossie pasting the TVR up the strip!

Roll on next year - best RSOC regional in the calendar!

 

Hiya Steve, yeah I am organising visiting car groups - so if people want a Scoob v RS shoot-out, will bring it up at next meeting and see what can be arranged.

That will NEVER happen mate!

 

Never seen an escort break 13 sec's ?????

WTF

I have done 12.8 in a mk 2, and trust me its over 500bhp per tonne
MArtin 11.2
Rich 11.9
JayB 12.2

etc etc etc

 

Doubt if they will believe ya Dingy that a Ford is capable of sub 13 secs

 

And what were the terminals dingy? Above 100mph i bet?

 

Quickest time I've seen for an Escoz is in December 2000 edition of Rev's where they put Hadlands Escoz, his Mondeo & a Fireblade. It did a 9.81 second quarter mile at 110.3mph (that's 0-100 in 7.59).....Not too shabby I think you'll agree!!!!

 

Oh & BTW, I agree that all performance cars should be respected & it should be each to their own decision as to what they prefer....afterall, we are all individuals......GROUP HUG!!!!

 

Craig, my terminal was 124.9mph @ santa-pod

 

Fookin hell Dingy, that's pretty impressive mate!! Was that with the old 405bhp engine aswell I assume??

 

Just gonna get my knife n fork out to eat my words
Have seen martins car run..... I am only going on what i have seen with my own eyes!! i can listen to everyones views but until i see it with my own eyes then it is all wives tales.
Didnt say that fords cant break 13's just that i havent seen an escort (mkV) run lower than 13.2.... DID say that i had seen a sapphire run a 10, maybe you lot missed that bit
In fact, maybe that is why escorts cant break 13's.. too blind to see the rev counter... oops.. change gear now.... lmao
Big Nige about??? ask him if liked the way i whipped his *** on the strip??

Rob
p.s. i shall be attending the rs day with plenty of turbo seals, just in case ANYONE needs some new ones

 

Rob,

That was you?

I've got it on video somewhere, and I show it to Nige to make him cry!

Ian - Martin's run was 9.8 1/4 - you sure?

 

Was gonna comment on the 9sec 1/4 by Mr Hadland but thought better not..... wives tales eh??
Rob
saw martin do an 11, cant imagine him knocking 2 secs off it either....

 

You can forget the Focus RS have you seen the new rumoured Fiesta/Fusion AWD 230bhp road car for 15-16K with loads of trick bits on. 140mph and 5 seconds 0-60, if I was Subaru I would be worried .

Oh and Rob I did try and tell you .

Chrisp :
still lesser powered though
May the best man win, and all the sorry *** ford drivers lose gracefully.....
should really calm down a bit, all them hot headed ford drivers in one place at the same time..... might have to make a sharp exit
No more banter???? thread has gone too serious.....

Rob

 

Just had a 'browse' of the rsoc board, there is some interesting stuff on there!!!!!!!!!
Escort RST doing 160mph f*ckin hell!!!!!!!!!!!
everyone has gotta start somewhere....lol
Rob

 

less power but 400+kgs less , 300bhp is crap if you have 1500kgs to lug around

 

Yep Rich & Tweenie, 100% correct (well according to Rev's full article anyway) sounds mental I know but it just so happened I had taken that mag into work to show my mate so I had the figures there to hand rather than remembering them.....I could scan the article for you but the mag is at work & I am at home so I could do it till tomorrow or the day after.

Did you think I'd gone all Co55ie on you & started stating random bull**** facts!!???LOL.....However, he is getting things disturbingly correct very often these days!!!

 

Ian,

I just thought that Martin had never got under 11 secs.....

...... feels great from the passneger seat though!

 

Richard,

I officially hate you now you *******....LOL

 

Don't worry.

I have a little video in production from the passenger seat of his car, chasing Mike Rainbird, and Stef (Cosiekiller) all the way to the Nurburgring!

It is the stupidest car I've ever been in, and I want it!

 

MAD!!! Is it available for general release??

I just sent you an e-mail btw.

 

sad but true revs got some of the times wrong! i think the times to 100mph were right though. rich dont forget my copy of the vid, or i will invoice you for half the petrol used whilst you were in the car ( it was lots!)

 

I was told by one of the competitors that the timing gear was wrongly positioned or something?? The 0-60 runs for example.... The timing beam didnt break until after the start line so the cars were already moving before they broke the timing beam..
Martin, does your car run on Normal fuel??
Lookin forward to next year already...
Rob

 

Ian, that was with 405bhp and no grip.....

just wait till the new wheels and engine goes on/in

 

Dingy, what do you drive???
Remember an ERST will never do 160mph
Rob

 

Rich,
FFS it's been almost a year, pull ya finger out and get it on tape ya lazy gimp!
