what a great day
as per the title, i,ve had a great day thanks to Spud69,
he took me out in his car on a track day at Teesside autodrome & wow was his car handling like a dream :eek: :cool: it was amazing the grip & control the car had going thru the bends etc, no body roll just totally planted, i,m still grinning like a madman, Spuds car was fantastic, i also went out in a MK fitted with a kwack 1400 engine, yes it was slightly quicker but not as planted in the corners as Spud,s, still very nice tho. today has really spurred me on to get my car finished asap :D Spud... if you read this then a BIG thankyou for a great day:cool: cheers andy |
sounds like you had a good time, i love to get a ride in one, but dont know any one that has one, :( still mine should be read in a year..... i hope
|
yes it was great fun, when you drive a van everyday like i do, you really do notice how little roll the Roadster has in the corners, its like its on rails, tho it did break away at one point & Spud controlled a great power slide :D

All this with only standard sierra front discs and rear drums, no overheating or fade at all. No need to spend hundreds on new discs all round, unless you have rakes of money. |
well i,m looking forward to being on track with you when my own car is finished, i might attach a tow rope to the back of your car, as its the only way i,ll keep up with you :D :cool:
cheers andy |
