I am due to be presenting a new top gear style TV show for a Satalite TV channel where we will be looking at comparing 2 modified cars and 2 standard carson each episode. The pilot will be filmed on the 23rd November - Location to be confirmed. I currently have someone's modified Escort Cosworth and need another car to compare it against. I would use my scooby, but i think the result would be just SLIGHTLY biased, apart from which my car does not have too many mods.
Could all interested parties please email me on info@phirozeracing.co.uk with pictures of your cars as well as in depth details of all the modifications.
Many thanks
Phiroze

Phiroze - WTF are you like? LOL 
I still have happy memories of that trip back from southend, the conversation in our car went something akin to this:
Me: My God, IanW is really going for it
Wife: That is not IanW
Me: Course it is it is a DBM scooby
Wife: No, that is not IanW
Me: Sure it is, he is driving like a loon
Wife: FFS IT IS NOT IANW!!!
Me: WTF are you on about?
Wife: IanW isn't Asian!!
Me: Oh yeah..... So who the **** is it?
Wife: How am I supposed ******* to know?
Me: oh well, nice car.. ****, taffic, better give way.
...and the rest was history...
[edited to remove most of the swearing in the car - yes, we are very much like the Osbournes]

Expect the tuned Cossie to be running circa 500bhp, and if Martin does turn up, expect him to be running closer to 600bhp ! (you're not getting that mad Frenchman to map it again, R U ?)
Something tells me that a tuned Scoob, running 300bhp, or even 350bhp, isn't going to cut it

Hi SJ,
That was probably one of the best drives i have had on the road.
And i'm impressed that you realised that i was Asian at that speed!!!!!!
PS if anyone is interested i am racing the BTCC Alfa 156 again this weekend at Brands hatch with GA Motorsport.

Hey Phiroze. How's the car running after the rebuild mate? Decided to do any extra performance work to it while it was in the shop at all?
Glad to hear you got the racing drive you were looking for.
Mike

Hi mike,
No i have kept everything standard. It's running like a dream. Still taking it pretty easy at the moment.
Apart from which these Alfa races are pretty much breaking the bank!
You should come down to BRands on the weekend, it should be a good crack - If you do come down look for the GA motorsport Transporter you wont miss it, it bloody huge!!!

craig, your new machine should do better times i reckon, although if you are doing a 'how fast' lap, you only get 1 lap to prove it!......... i was 6 seconds faster in practice, let me know when your going. i might have to attend!
siwrx,
yes running much less boost at the mo as i have sold the 500hp unit to help offset costs of the new engine, my time round bedford was done with 330hp, will try again once i have the new donkey fitted,
