You just wanted to watch the match didnt you
Although it was on in the Darlo as well!
Yeah just the fronts. There isnt rear discs on sports. Unless you spend £500 ish for the upgrade which is pretty pointless IMHO.

Good stuff, I've just gotta go and fetch my mates trolley jack from newcastle. God knows how I'm gonna get there because after last nights escapades my brakes are on the brink of non-existant now!!! What happened to ChrisP anyway? Didn't see him go. God knows how I managed that!!

Just before everyone went outside I shot off, I did say "night all" though . I saw you all walking across the car park just as I left. Nice to see a few faces and some old ones. Actually had a run with one of those TVRs on the way back, it sounded nice.

Cheers

Exclamation

How on earth has this thread got to a point where it's being edited ?

I used to work 'there' (having seen the post- pre-edit!),
when chris used to be there, but I'm not aware of anyone being there now.....

I think it's probly best left at that .......

Thanks guys and redkop for the prompt action, I may be over sensitive about it but after one attempted theft a while back (not from my works) but I am a little careful where the motor and the locations its at as you can probably understand.

Mark I did a report to moderator to ask for edit just incase the guys didnt see it for a day or so its my fault for the edits .

Mark I saw you go past, red over gold I presume.

My tyres are Toyo Proxes with which I have no complaints, purchased from some place in Talke which matched the mytyres.com price!! Seem to do well in the wet also !!

Had a chat with the ECU people, might be getting a less conservative map, how does 290bhp sound ??

Mike prob beet me to it, but there we go, join up for BEC info

bang for buck they are superb, they cant match a scoobs a to b speed through fast bends, well they probably could but im not man enough to try, as i have come to agree with dodge, you need a sense of self preservation with these things, as when they start to go at speed, there is no room for error, but get it right and (ive seen) they leave scoobs standing - i just aint at that stage in driving skill yet lol - But driving is what these little things are all about there are no excuses, just you and a basic car, that can out handle almost anything in the right hands, and um, well you’ve all seen me and dodge drive (the wrong hands ) But I get the same buzz about improving my driving like I used to when I had bikes J if you get one, you won’t regret it, well you will, when it rains, when its cold, when its dark, when it snows, when birds crap on you, when stones hit you , when silver scoobs in front scatter your face with stones AHHH you get my drift…………..mmmmmmmmmmmmmm MMMMMM DRIFT

Yep, agreed and nice to see them turn up in a blaze of noise. Also nice to meet a few new faces and hopefully new regulars. Nice to see the great looking sport as well, only normally see turbos so along with the westies and the nissan its nice to see a few different flavours.

Cheers

Chris
Hopefully the weather may be warmer next time as well .
