It was driving out of the Subaru area when it met a marshall in a Sierra coming the other way.
As you may have seen, there was little room for 2-way traffic and the 2 cars touched.
The guy got out and went ape at the marshall!

In which case it would have been wise to let a marshall, with flashing lights illuminated, get to where he needs to go, and not be so arrogant to think that it should be the marshall gives way.

Marshalls are at these events for everyones safety, if the guy in the civic was the one in need of help I'm sure he would have appreciated it.
Although looking at that car I doubt it would ever get onto a track.

Come on guys no need to be harsh, obviously the guy's put a lot of time and effort into making the car what it is, lets appreciate someone else's work, I personally think it looked radical, and to be honest it was getting a lot of attention, and I'm sure thats what the objective was.

Paulpalmer, I think the back is the best feature of the car and it looks awesome with those afterburners turned on, I wouldn't be surprised if youv'e seen the car in Marlow, cause the guys from High Wycombe, just down the road from you, oh and the funny part is the guy owns a Subaru impreza turbo Terzo edition which features a blue silver flip, he should me some pics it looked v.nice, with some one off mods done to body, not as extreme as the civic, but nice and subtle. And as for taking the car on the track, I'm sure thats not the reason the guy build the car, it was primarily build for street cred, anyway I was talking to the guy at japfest, And Clifty from redline magazine, he has different views to you guys, and loved it, and took some pics, so don't be surprised to see it on the front cover, same go's with the editor of Banzai.

It's completely horrible M*x P*wer tat, and a massive waste of his time and money. It sounds like he confirmed his lack of judgement by blocking a marshal who was trying to get to an incident so I don't think he needs any sympathy.

I was there at the time of the incident with the marshall, hate to dissapoint you guys but it was the marshalls fault, he was a **** driver , the civic was just going past and obviously had to give way to the marshall, but because of the limited space it was a bit difficult. For the record the guy was NOT blocking the marshall he moved out of the way, but the marshall was once again a **** driver, and he didn't have any flashing lights on the car or anything, it was a bog standard sierra estate, no signs, no nothing, I don't know where you guys come up with things that don't even exist.

BTW the car would leave many a subaru impreza turbo, including mine in a straight line, it features a Civic type R engine with a turbo, suffice to say it will be a bullet in a straight line, and I know what you guys are gonna say, about the twisties, but I rest my case.

Paulpalmer those afterburners are all you'll be seeing if you want I can arrange a rumble for you down the marlow bypass, are you up for the challenge?, don't come out with bull**** like what do I have to prove etc.
