Fan bloody tastic.
Did you know:
A WRC Gear box costs buckets of cash
A WRC Engine costs buckets of cash
A WRC Damper costs buckets of cash
The Ferrari Maranello Le Mans cars cost buckets of cash
Mike Woods drives everywhere sideways
The place smells like ................ Chocolate
It rains alot in Banbury
The BAR F1 car really is very light
Dave Richards has got a hysterical face in the prodrive brochure (also to be seen on the pridrive web site. The one where he is holding his chin. Fab ) As agreed by Trouser
A WRC car really is very shiny and new when it leaves Banbury
A WRC car has got a bit of a "pimp mobile" feel to it inside, due largley to the masses of suede on the dash board (Anti glare apparently ) and flashing lights and cosy seats and stuff
A WRC car has a tax disc (Logical but bizarre)
Two hours well spent I think with thanks going to the Prodrive Marketing Guy, John Baldock and Mike Woods and anyone else who made the event possible
Mikey
P.S. I had a wicked drive home on wet country lanes trying the Mike woods theories They work and also, my key ring thingy doesn't work

I was running a little late and forgot my camera (DOH!!!)
There were plenty of "quality" pics taken by the other folk though and i'm sure some will end up being posted.

Gridlock Mikey....LMFAO! Funniest post I've read for ages!!!!
Yes hats off it was a wicked evening, really good to put some faces to names also, a thoroughly nice bunch.

Had the most insane drive back to East London on the A507 in what can only be described as a torrent. God I love Scoobys

yeah.. thanks to all for a top evening!
cheers Johnny B
Mikey you funny!
Personally I felt moved to write .. as I felt it so wrong that these people are taking these cars.. removing panels and replacing them with Carbon fibre,..stickering them up and making them go faster.. i think it's criminal and these classic cars should be left alone
thanks again to all concerned. I felt chuffed that we use the same workshop floor paint ! LOL!
