Here it is!!!

2008 banter thread!!!

So I may as well throw the gauntlet down. Who's going to beat my time on the handling from last year?

 

Me

I did last year too

 

Micky wasnt there a bloke walking infront of you with a red flag at 4mph.only joking mate I got it wrong it was a tortoise with with one eye its leg in plaster sitting on a roller skate. I did hear that if you had had one of them turbonators you would have licked the field,rcm wouldnt have even had a lookin.

 

Lies lies lies.

You all know the tortoise was asleep.

 

What was your time ??? i will beat it as im going to beat every ones time

 

It was a bloody fast time mate.

2.5 hours I think it took

48.??s I think

 

Its all academic.

As Shaun has promised me that his car will handle better than a robin reliant with a wheel missing, this year, you're all toast anyway!

 

Why is shaun going to be eating the toast cos from what I saw of him last year all he did was walk next to the car while you drove it,unless he is going on a diet and will be driving it this year

 

oops better not say too much or I will get blackballed.

 

if shaun was driving it, he'd still be finishing the stage now!

 

 

ROFLOL

Shaun here!!!

I'm going for a different tact this year...... 50bhp / 100lbft more than last years event (even more if I can be arsed to get it mapped for race fuel) and full road trim going back in with Type25 road spec suspension.

The seats are being added so Simon can fit his fat **** in them --- the Sparco's chaffed his saddle bags.

The Stereo is going back in so he can listen to Val Doonican, whilst smoking his pipe.

The road suspension is going back in, so he can suck on his McDonalds thick shake without spilling any.



Whilst I am jesting about the reasons, the changes for this years event are happening.

I don't want anyone suggesting it is not a road car and a stripped out racer, and applies more pressure to Simon!

 

sounds good mate 1000ft trq nice lmao see you there any 1 running ext -tc suspension ???

 

Will that make it easier for you to push, Shaun?

 

Talk to the hand..... you are not in the same league!

 

What leauge is that mate im concerned now startting to get a bit scared of your competion..

ps what 1/4 you got in that car ??

 

1/4 of a brain cell..























between us!

 

Shaun/chris when's the list going up for the peeps that have entered? cos at the moment on the banter thread there's only myself,micky,mark.ptmd and yourselves having a crack where's the other usual suspects hiding or haven't they entered running scared of mickys mods to his car the main one being its been polished meaning its going to be more streamline.

 

Let me link hands with Simon, so I can string a sentance together!

Gussy,
As per previous years an entry list will be published closer to the event, but spaces are being filled fast.

Mark,
The car was never built for 1/4m, but we have seen an 11's pass already this year under non-ideal conditions (i.e. no grip in 1st and 2nd, full fuel load and 2 people in the car). Personally I am more interested in the track / handling.

I now have launch control with 1bar of boost..... at least this year Simon won't have the excuse of "bogging the bitch" on the launch of the handling circuit! I don't know...... these professionals hey!

Perhaps I have the wrong idea of this banter thread..... I am sure I should be supporting my team mate instead of laying in to him!?!

 

Looking good shaun i cant wait, my first one ive entered aswell looking forward to the whole event ......

 

Be good to see your car go down the 1/4m mate.... should easily get in the 11's!

 

Hope so mate booked in on the 6th for my methanol should take it up a little then hopefully get into the 11s again,Looking forward to seeing some fast cars there and especially the white beast if u need a driver let me know


I cant see many others on here keeping up can you

 

Be nice to see Shaun drive the Spec-C down the 1/4 mile.

































Should get in the 13's

 

Yeah




















































Minutes

 

Micky,
With a terminal of 108mph you best crawl back under the low power stone! Come back when your hitting 120+

Mark,
119mph

Thats a lifetime ahead of Micky...... we could both run up the strip with our handbrakes on and overtake him.

 

Is this right micky sounds like u running old tractor ,dont think i do to good on handling im like a nut case around a track if i dont spin ill be amazed try get me best 1/4 and see how track goes ......

 

Care to have a little wager on that one?

 

I will limit the car to low boost of 1bar which is about 420bhp..... give you a fighting chance. Bring your V5 and I can donate your car as the booby prize for the person who gets the slowest 1/4m time.

Us Midland boys have got to stick together against you Northerners!
