Yes definetly - a YMCA car - what could be better! 😬It made all the difference fitting that uprated fuel pump - released all that potential of the R300
Mike
Well I didn't book the 'lovely' hotel, and I will keep a very careful eye on what the others get up to
Just hope Ray isn't staying at the same place.....
Mike
Congratulations to Neil and Rob in particular for their first wins - it is a pretty special moment isn't it 😬
Glad to see that Michael had regained the trowel - as well as scoring a first - of course if an R300 had been there..........
Mike
Trouble is with so many engines to choose from in the garage - I just can't decide which one to use on Sunday
Not sure the heavy Vx lump will be as good at Curb, so just go for the usual 😬
There are some stirrers out there!!
Mike
Yup - really great day 😬
Malcolm really warmed things up with his 2nd practice time and I knew I had to push a lot more to Triangle - but stay on the track at the top!! Tried too hard on the 2nd timed run and nearly threw it off several time, including trying to do a reply of Richard's incident by trying too hard out of Fallow
Impressive times for those in their new cars - but you just can't beat having that R300 power
Mike
I hope our technical scrutineer checks and certifies that it has got 15bhp less that the xflow - we wouldn't want any repeats of the unfounded and malicious accusations that have been going round the paddock recently 😔
Really glad it has lived up to your expectations so far - as long as theTP is happy soon as well! 😬
Mike
Welcome to Class 3 - I am sure you will find it fun with all that extra power and grip, just don't forget to scrub the tyres before pushing on the first run 😬 You don't want to end up going off on your first 3 runs
Mike
And I thought I had bought the Eligibility Scrutineer enough beer to settle the matter 😔
I still want to know who vandalized my R... ops I mean my standard Superlight 😬
Mike
Sorry you won't be there - like Robin said - you are supposed to use the bat! I was always rather pleased to have boots with decent toe caps - but that was a long time ago 😳
Hope it is better soon.
Mike
As long as it is only a car-probing tool Tam
After the Welsh Chav tried to set fire to my blue car at Loton it only seemed prudent to make some 'minor' adjustments 😬
Mike
Hmmm...I think I will have to seal that bonnet!
Robin - I am sure that with your ported head you will reconsider any silliness like protests etc 😬 😬
Mike
And another thing - I don't remember our Competiton Secretary mentioning that K7 SLT was more like an R300 when he drove it - although I have to say that when he passed me when I was in the tintop on the IoM it did seem to be going rather fast 😔
Anyway I will just have to challenge that Mr Snoate to a duel as he had impuned my reputation - if only we can find him.....
Thanks for the offer Clive but as I only dance after too much to drink (which never happens ) that might have to wait!
Mike
I'll get you for this Durrant *mad*
Now look Rob, don't you start encouraging the others in 3 - they are all going to be enough trouble as it is!!
Anyway, I am sure Dave Nelson would agree with me here - blue cars are supposed to win 😬
Mike
Errmm......
What can I say 😬 😬
The possible explanations are:
-The previous owner was trying to big up his car and mistaken referred to it as an R300
- He has obviously mistaken the identity
- I changed it back to standard Superlight spec after I bought it.
Any of those sound plausible?
And after I was so careful to back off as I went through all those speedtraps!! Can't believe it
Anyway - thanks for digging this up MARK!! And they cal Mr Angry a troublemaker!!
Mike
