Snap re video.

I'm not convinced CK1 will still be alive as it was pretty ratty the last time I saw it (which was either in tyres Northampton or on the M1 after a Donington trackday about 9 years ago. Both around the same time.). I even had the pleasure of visiting the gravel at Druids Hairpin with Stef in it about a year before that!

I heard the car was "snatched" back by a finance company..... although there was some dispute about the state of the car upon it's return.

So I heard, but perhaps shall we say through a "dubious" contact at the time!

Stef Reader, thats a name I have not heard for a LONG time. His was a classic I'd avoid! I remember him showing me the creases in his roof from slicks!

and has said only 250 hp
pretty sure he had willwood 6/8 pot brakes and uprated suspension fitted as well. This was shot 9 years ago when 250bhp was nowhere near as common as it is now.

Loon or commited driver, same thing really? I always enjoyed going out in a car with Steff.

i wouldn't say he was a loon either, he obviously had some idea of his and his cars limits.

From memory he had AP 4 pots and power was more like 280-300. He was always a committed chap whether it was to driving, riding or partying... but was definitely of the "let's find the limit by going over it" school of performance driving

Yes he had AP 4pots at the front, but afaik only had prodrive / Eibach springs as suspension mods. Power was circa 260bhp. He had prodrive ecu, induction kit and decat.

Iain
we were at Castle Combe he shunted it rear and made it look like a Wagon. I very much doubt there was a panel that wasn't unscathed

I can remember doing a load of trackdays with Stef he was a really likeable guy. The good old days with Harj, Mellow, Blue, TypeR MATT and Felly etc.
