The excitement is just too much.



CraigH and I drove westfields own XTR² at Curborough Sprint Circuit today. All I can say is WOW

Its a really long time until saturday when we pick up our kit. How will we last.

I've got some pictures of the car on our very own web site at http://www.xtr2.net.

Moderators please feel free to move this to 'Other Marques' if its not deemed 'scooby enough' for you.

I've not tested the site too much yet so any problems you find let us know.

Cheers

Ian(H1PPY) and CraigH.

Looks superb. When can I have a passenger ride?

Have you still got the P1?

Cheers,

Ian.

 

Hiya

Yep - still have the P1 - but not sure how much longer for. I'm toying with the idea of getting shut because the XTR eclipses the performance of the scooby more than I'd ever imagined. I really love Subaru cars or I wouldn't have owned 3 turbos over the last 4 years - but I think I need to buy a sensible car for every day. I am toying with the idea of a BMW 330d Sport oil burner - drove one the other day and its very nice (go on you lot - tell me scoobies are the best cars in the world). 289lb/ft of torque at 1750 RPM is pretty good - and it returned 47mpg at 85mph - nice. £600 for a german chip upgrade and you are looking at 220bhp and 400+ lb/ft of torque from 1750 to 4200rpm - heheheheh

Nothing is certain yet - but I'm thinking (hippys take a long time to think)

Now wheres that DSC switch

Ian.

 

nice one Ian and Craig.

If you need any quick advice during the build and you think i can help drop me a line m8.

Curborough isnt a great place to try out the cars abilities, wait till you take it to dono! craner will make you crap your pants in that thing, it should fly down there.

 

as per chat, I've checked out the website in IE for Mac and it looks great and i've found no errors with it.

Dead jealous of the car as well

 

Hiya John - messaged you on the westi board the other day - the chaps from Westfield say hi by the way - they've seen some video of you wasting an R1 at the ring they loved it

The XTR² is a mental car - its so frantic and agile after the subaru. A scooby would be very slow round Curborough - twisty too short - narrow corners (which is a pisser when it decides to fart the tail out). Still gave a fantastic Idea of whats in store

The Westfield team driver was there too - I'm sure craig and I only exploited 4/10ths of the car where as he went mental quick. Such a rapid beast.

Hope *** COS gets better soon.

We'll let you know how things go.

Ian

Great news about the MAC - I'm sure Simon Prickett will give MAC support too. Bit worried about Netscape - but nothing looks right in that anyway LOL.

Oh - seems my buddies server is down - hope its back by morning.
