one of the funniest parts of the day was nick with his back to black for his "one millions sq foot of plastic" on his car you couldnt see for smoke!!!!! hahahahahaha

Yeah hope that stuff isn't bad for your health as I have to do that once a month!

Nick

well we survived so i cant be!!!!!

That Mk2 Vr6 van is Tony (or one of his employees) from Automotive Solutions for those that know him, and yeah he drives like a loon. 

I was behind it, setting out on my third session.  Quicker than me, which I was pleased about due to the amount of smoke it was belching, intermittantly.  Last year it threw a wheel off just after the Esses.  The drainpipe exhaust on it really is comedy, as is the towbar, which is an odd addition for a 'performance car'.

Lol it's his work van! he the vr6 is in there because he can't stand going low!

The whole day I only saw one person have a slight wobble! I didn't want to see anyone wreck their car but a few spins and some missed esses would have been fun!

Nick

who had the wobble?? the one person i saw have a 'moment' was someone in a black MKIV heading into Quarry (i think)- right off the track onto the grass! Didn't see him go round again!!

A chap in a red MKII who went off a bit on the esses. I think he had brown pants as he went round a fair bit slower on the next lap. Gutted I didn't have the camera in hand when it happened.

Well that explains about the smoke - if it's a work van I guess it's been converted to run on diesel.

From my drivers seat I saw a guy in a very low Golf3 almost stuff it into the barriers at Quarry because he would. not. move. over. for me. Fine - I'll push you until you do, as although I may have the ride height of a boat, my car handles, has about the same power as you and more grip. 

There was also the small matter of the Sport Quattro conversion - either there were big issues with the motor or the handling, as that should have gone striaght past me and then not run off into the in-field after Bobbies.

You see a lot more moments from in a car than you do on a bank, Nick  .

I thought it was a conversion as it didn't look quite right. I am however not a Quattro head so I couldn't be sure.

Yeah I know and I would have loved to have taken the 'sat round but I couldn't afford it and the car would have died as it needs a bit of TLC at the moment. It's been a long time since I've been on track and I was having real withdrawal symptoms all day on saturday.

Shoulda asked for a pax session - I had a clear seat during all three sessions (which is unusual).

It was pretty easy to spot - the word 'Coupe', rather than 'Quattro' in the reflective strip across the arse gave me the hint it might not have been the full ticket.    I spoke to the guy afterwards and asked how much power it had - RS2 motor with 320bhp, allegedly, so I guess it simply didn't handle, or there was a serious talent deficit.

Good pics again Horney.

What was this J reg Mk2 running, cos it's got 5 stud wheels ?

[Horney]

Sounded like a VR6 but I didn't see it in the paddockto be able to confirm.

Was a brilliant day, good to see some of the mk4 section in force!

Got very sunburnt

That mk1 rocket was awsome, it was like a gocart on NOS

I saw 2 "offs" one Audi TT at the start line, nice 360

and the mk4 down the other end, again spun 180 but i think he broke something, as he was spinning i saw something drop down from the drivers side front wheel, kind looked like a drop link

i have lots of pics but not Nicks quality

Good day
