Hi John,

Cheers

Stuart

 

Hi Stu, thanks for that. Excellent Vid. You weren't standing out in the pissing rain filming that were you ?

 

Golspie a big turn out these days? Glad to see the scoob managed to fend off the evo brigade! Well done John, especially in less than desireable conditions....

 

Hi Doug, Golspie is full, think we had 15 cars in the class. The event had 28 reserves before starting.

Hear you later.
Stu

 

Hi john, saw you running today at doune looking very quick, did you not set a new class record today?


colin

 

He certainly did ! By some considerable margin I might add !

2.3 seconds under the class record on the first run

Andy

 

Congratulations John!

 

2.3 , the rate that car goes at is something else, nice driving john!

 

Great going John.
Did Graham Wt Jr run the V10?
How did Mr Twemlow do too?

Graham

 

Thanks guys, was shaking (hands and knees ) for an hour afterwards.
Still as high a Kite

Time is the fastest Road Car ever up Doune I think (Saloon or Sports car)

Much Kudos to Andy.F for providing tech support all Sat night (diagnosing a failed MAFSIM ), after the car stopped working in the afternoon and for dragging his *** out of bed on a Sunday morning to program and lend me his Mafsim and for setting off driving to meet me on route, all of which saved my ***.

GW had the Predator out, had a few niggles, but went extremely well, watch that space.

Geoff was going incredibly well Graham, beat his PB by 2 secs on a 53.3s, another happy man today. (Putting it into perspective, I think he did a similar time to me at my first/second attemps there with a very similar Spec to your car currently) You better hope he doesn't decide to up the power of the car or Pete and Rob won't be all you have to worry about I've given him the details of a 'reputable' Mapper

 

It is the tech advice I'm giving him John....

I don't worry about Pete and Rob anymore, just too far ahead!

I don't get the shakes anymore at the top, so i need to TRY HARDER!

Well done again.
One day I may actually get up there to to sample the King of Hills that is Doune, and learn from the younger and older experts!
Graham.

 

Well the cars been looking a bit Gash for a while after I killed it hitting a tree at June Doune 2006. The current shell was 'assembled' in a week so there was no time for cosmetics or any niceties. On the back burner however has been its replacement. The idea is to take as little as possible from the current car onto the new car leaving old one in one piece.

Mechanical spec I'll keep to myself for now but here's a sample of what we've been upto.

Fatboy










Cutting the bumper for I/C

 

 

Nice one mate, have just read the whole thread and its some car

Seems like 2008 is the year of the widearched impreza

 

I see you've come out of the closet John

 

Oooh err Ducky !!

 

Does my **** look big in this?

Good to see another old project back

Mark A

 

Hi Mark, good to here from you. Old project thread, but New Car. Though to be fair it will be V similar to the old one

 

Very nice, hope to see it in action this year somewhere along the line.

 

It would appear the 2008 is the return of the wide arch...

Nice to see the updates John

 

Are they fibreglass doors John?

 

The white one are Mark, I was expecting the 2dr steel dr to be heavy, but incredulous just how heavy they were when I removed them.

 

Getting there....

 

Passenger seat looks a bit uncomfortable..


Or is that for 'trackside repairs'..

 

No matter, my Mapper is well padded in 'that' area
