Trackday Car
 
Yes me and Hils treated ourselves today to a trackday car. :luxhello:

And Ross aka Kin quick look out because Hils could be out for revenge. :thumb:

We bought a Porsche 924s with a 3.9 rover v8. for those that are`nt familiar with porsche`s it`s a front engine rwd set up. weighing when I`ve finished with it hopefully just under a ton. And at present a slightly tweaked eng. putting out an estimated 200bhp and loads of torque.

Whilst I know it`s never going to be a scooby beater there is going to be loads of sideways fun. :D

Yes it`s on my to do list. Trouble is it`ll probably be a larger k&n filter with an even larger scoop. :Whatever_

OR If one of my mates has still got his supercharger from when he used to race which is likely knowing him. Visibility could soon start being a problem. :norty: :lol1: ( up periscope ) :D

Great, I thought, WE'VE got a new toy! :luxhello:

I stayed at work yesterday whilst Ark went to pick OUR toy up!

This is after I waited in the car for 45 minutes whilst HE test drove it on Sunday! :rolleyes:

Anyway, he arrived back at the yard yesterday with OUR car on the trailer. :)

He came in and said would I like a go in OUR porsche! :notworthy

Of course, I jumped at the chance to have a little play round the yard........

Oh no, what he should have said was..............

"did I want to go outside an SIT in the car whilst it was still on the trailer.....

The miserable b*****d wouldn't even unload it for me to have a go! I even had to ask for the keys so I could start OUR car up!!

53 23 October 2009 11:19 AM

To be fair Simon told me he always wanted a Porsche and was wrapping it up for the winter :p:lol1::luvlove:

Er, shopping? I don't think so. Tell the truth!! :nono:

I actually had to leave the office as some 'plonker' decided to seal round the windows to stop the gale howling through - after about an hour of breathing in whatever it was I was as high a a kite so decided to head home BEFORE it killed me!!
