Jason Plato Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 me and Griff spent most of yesterday talking crap whilst laying under the gazebo and we struck upon the idea of . . . . . . . . . . . . . . sprint your other car !!!!!! so at the Marshalls sprint in August we could all race our other cars !! 😔 ......... this is gonna be very wrong ....... Griff gonna bring his Porker, I'll bring er in doors MX5, Darren can bring the motorhome here is C7 TOP Taffia Area Rep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin S. Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 😬 Now what will it be for me.......911 or the campervan, at least I could stop for a cuppa in the van but then we do want the event to finish in time for the proper cars to have a go on Sunday. Seriously I'm considering entering the 911 in the marshalls sprint anyway just for fun + I need to wear the tyres out so I've got an excuse to buy some decent rubber Class 4 Zetec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robmar Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 did discuss taking the leggy up llys-y-fran last weekend, think the 4 wheel drive would have helped somewhat... rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil.cavanagh Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Could be fun! i reckon the Gayman S could be quite useful. and NO Dan, you can't enter in it as a dual drive!!! *eek* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannyboy Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Now worries Neil....I'll use the Beemer!! And still beat you *wink* Or..I could remove the helmet....don the flat cap, and carefully pick my way round in the rover smoking my pipe 😬 😬 😬 Dannyboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Robinson Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Does the fact that the Megane 230 is Sally's car allow me to class it as my "other" car. If so I'll do my best to persuade her to let me have a crack in it. The grip from it is amazing on the road so I reckon it would do a useful time round curbugger..

Alex Wong1697456877 Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 I wonder if Bex would let me use her V10 Touareg........ I could go over the mole hill in that thing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robmar Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Steve - so easily tempted back eh! there was a guy at llandow competing in a subaru forrester 2.5 turbo, wasn't bad off th eline but I don't think it really suited the corners too well...

Jason Plato Posted May 21, 2007 Author Share Posted May 21, 2007 Grahame Ford has said he was going to run his Scooby (tweeked 400bhp ect) yes - wives cars count , I dont think my Merc would do it too well, even with the ESC turned off. I can hold it on the diff in the wet but the ecu starts applying the brakes and all sorts after a few seconds of diff exercising action on the roundabouts 😬 here is C7 TOP Taffia Area Rep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Robinson Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Hi Rob, Of course I'm easily tempted back. I have a browse at the sevens on pistonheads every week or so, but the budget to buy looks some way off ☹️ How's the racing going? If Sally says no to the meggy then I'll have a go in the Forester!

Mike Oxbiggar Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 ....and I'll bring the Grim's Pug 106 1100! 😬 (I'd be faster than I was in the 7 at the weekend ) K16OOC - Bailey's MANGO Handbag Webshots here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powderpuff Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 Blast...shouldn't swapped the Porsche for the Volvo...why didn't we do this last year Hmmm...maybe I'll quickly transplant the 7 engine into the 21 and sprint that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil.cavanagh Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 Nah Mr PP, I think you should sprint the T5... with your knowledge around curbugger you'd probably beat my porker in your puppy wagon! *eek* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powderpuff Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 😬 Nothing like a nice Ego massage in the morning..thank Neil 😳 Wonder how many sprinters are all of a sudden planning tintop upgrades? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 Hmmm ... The lease on my car expires next month ... wonder what I should have next ?? .... seeing as I can't persuade Rol to sprint the S6 ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Robinson Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 Feeling quietly confident that the R26 meggy will stand me in good stead. Small and nimble, great traction from the LSD and lots of torque out of the corners and lovely brembo brakes. Bring on the porkies Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
