Any news on Stef's car ?

I was at the RSOC meet today at Donington, spectating from Starkeys straight.

As Stef approached Schwantz curve his car gave out a nasty crack sound and coasted to a halt at McLeans.

I saw his car limp back to the pits later.

I hope everythings OK, and not too expensive.

I think that title is a bit extreme http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/eek.gif

You do know I'm referring to his car "Cossie Killer" don't you ?

....bloody hell that title scared the crap outta me - I'd only just said adios to Stef before he went out on track http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/eek.gif ...some call Stef the CossieKiller aswell as his car.....not me tho - I know him as the Colliekisser http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif

Ulp!

Didn't realised some knew him as that.

Anywho, what happened to his car Richard ?

....no idea chap - best wait to hear it from the horses mouth.....

Make that two of us...

Where is Stef these days ? He hasn't posted for ages...

Hope his car isn't too bad

Richard

Nah, nothing to worry about. His intercooler hose poped off, thats all. I spent the last hour sat in the damn thing having a laugh. We spent the last session playing with Gareth Lloyd in his escort cossie. He is a top driver.

Hey rich, i blew my rear diff up on my first lap on track, bollox. http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/frown.gif I gave stef my track pass as it was undrivable on anything remotely looking like a corner.

Didnt stop me having a go at the 0-60 sprint though! If it's bolloxed it's bolloxed. http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif

I set the second fastest time, 0-60 in 4.00 seconds. That was uphill on a pretty slippy surface so not bad for 2wd and a bolloxed diff.

The car that won, an <B>RS200</B> running about 500BHP. 0-60 in 3.98 seconds. 2 hundredths of a second for gods sake! gutted. http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif

If it was 0-100 i would have won, no question, traction (or rather the lack of it) was a real issue for me.

Ahhh a baby one then http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif

Glad to here that's Stef car is fine..

You.... beat it in a 0 to 100.. I didn't know that you could pedal that fast mate http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif

could be wrong but doesn't the RS200 hold the world record for quickest production car (if you can call it that) 0-60mph, in something like 3.1sec!!! must have been a SLOW one!!
better get that flame suit on!!

No, it USED to hold the record for 0-100-0.

That was something with serious power, like 700BHP though.

I would have destroyed that RS200 in a 0-100-0 test. AWD gives huge benefits up to 60MPH.

I think the current record is held by a caterham R500. I could be wrong?? I wouldnt mind having a go at that actually. http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif LOL

Thanks for that David, scared me as well!! http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/eek.gif http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif
My car and I are fine, I just don't post as much that's all. Need to get a pc at home.
Oh, and David, perhaps the telephone would be a better way to find out in future? http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif

Stef.

er.. not sure if this is completley up to date but the Westfield megabusa holds the 0-100-0 doesn't it?

Rich I think it would be me who would have destroyed the RS with me driving mate http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif LOL

Rich's RS200 has 575BHP and some monster other monster Kit to keep it on the twisty stuff, now thats a real car! http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif

I thought it was your rs200 harj :conmfused:

or at least thats what yuo told everyone on chat http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif.

I thought the caterham stole the crown from the mclaren f1, which pissed them off a bit, so they went out again in an LM (slower version) on a damp day, put in a bit more effort, and reclaimed it.

It was documented in top gear magazine.

That was some time back so th megabusa could have done it again.

On the 0-100-0 thing, I read an article in What Car about a year ago where some guys set out to beat the record, at that time held by a Westfield, using a stripped out Mclaren F1

They beat the current record, I think the time was 12.something.

Maybe its been broken again since.

Does anyone know the definitive answer?

Adam it is mine when it lives with me http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif over 1000BHP spewing out of my garage http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif

Yeah, but I wouldn't want to hog the phone line and stop all of those laydees calling you http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif
