I'll probably have a run out there for about 11am and poke around for an hour or so provided the weather is decent - piddling down here at the minute :(

good turn out today, everything from a 1902 de dion boulton to 2008 fiat 500, and glorious sunshine to boot, nice to see other tipec cars in attendance altho' out numbered by both the PT cruisers and the metros, one metro was running a 1.8 turbo from a MG ZT, with 16 inch wheels and huge discs and calipers

Yup a company do a conversion of the Metro with the 1.8 apparently good for harassing expensive machinery at track days.

this was home done, looked well executed, apart from a few rough edges on the front bumper where it had been cut for cooling to the oil and inter coolers, mind you it wouldn't stand much in the way of a parking knock to burst either of these or the rad

I seem to meet them idiots on every track day I do... :evil:

Green Nissan Primera last time though.. all the power and no control, but hey its only a grand if they crash it.. unlike when they side swipe me....

Mind you they can't stop that well...... :twisted: I tested that bit and I think he still has the dents from the cones to prove it..
