If you like cars....

[Trotster]

Get down to Brighton Racecourse either today unitl 6 or tomorrow - its the Fast and the Furious show. shed loads of suped up and modified cars, sound offs and stunt shows - as well as a hot tub, naked bungee, wet t shirt comps etc etc

Oh, and loads of women wearing next to nothing!!

Show runs 10am-6pm both days

 

[Beach Hut]

Stop self promoting

 

[Rambo]

naked bungee, wet t shirt comps etc etc

So thats what you do as a job these days is it?

 

[Blue&WhiteSea]

funnily enough if you like cars you wouldn't be seen dead near a show like that you would go somewhere with proper cars not ones who have been covered in glue and driven around your local halfords!

 

[Trotster]

I tell you what - if i never hear another bit of drum and base, it will be to soon!!

BAG - there is some serious eye candy up here!!!

Thing with these modded cars, and yes i used to have a modded Saxo VTS, running 170BHP is by the time you've finished spending all this money on them, you might as well have gone and bought a Porsche Boxter anyway

If you can afford an Evo7 or something fair enough but a "souped" up Nova hardly cuts it.

 

[Dover]

Got in for nothing at the end of Saturday. No real poke or power. Just a load of motors with Airfix kit bits stuck all over them. Blue and White Sea, is spot on.

Goring. What is a 170 bhp Saxo like? Is it a scary as the old Renalut 5 with the mid engine?

 

[Goring Gull]

Not as quick as the R5 although handlings a lot better on a Saxo.

To be honest wasn't as quick as you'd think it would be only around 6 secs to 60 standard it was alledgely 7.5, much better torque through the gears and it would pull like a b@stard in fifth, flogged it to some girlie from Swindon way in the end.

 

[tinx]

Sounds like a full on chav convention to me.

 

[Goring Gull]

Oh yes, having said that alot of the lads i knew were good blokes but modded cars do atract the real "creme de la creme" of society.

 

[REDLAND]

Depnds where you go, I used to drag race VERY modified cars at Santa Pod and there was never a chav insight, just huge geezers with big beards !!

 

[Northstander]

Sounds like a full on chav convention to me.

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

Max Power-tastic. Must admit I've never understood why someone would pay all that money to get an old Nova souped-up, lowered, smoked screens and all that - at the end of the day it's still a frickin old Nova!

bloody well said

We spent the weekend at Snetterton for the Historic Sports car club meeting, (old GT cars, F1, 60's and 70's saloons etc)

I raced in the Pre 1966 saloon car race, a 1 hour Enduro, bloody marvellous fun it was, finished 11th overall, very pleased with myself, especially as I built and prepared the whole car myself, including engine and gearbox.

Brand Hatch 18th July next . . .cant wait

sounds good zef well done. Must come watch you race (although not at Brands as thats the parade day and I'd get lynched by my mates if I missed it for car racing! ) i watched the Goodwood thing yesterday and it was great to see Button abusing the F1 car and Jacques in his old mans F1.

 

[zefarelly]

cheers Crabtree . . .was the Festival good ? I havent been for a while it gets so busy now, amazing displays and cars there though . . . very little in the way of max powered French shopping trolleys with big speakers in the back though I guess ?
