Did you have a little trip into the green stuff?

How did you get the picture from the photographer? I've e-mailed a few times with no reply

I actually got it on the day from Jim Gaisford Photographer, his email is john.gaisford@btinternet.com, don't know if this is the same guy or not?

Oh Yes , couple of times, it gets VVV slippy up there in the rain!

lol, try some PE2s! I think after 2 or 3 pints I could just about stomach up the balls to drive on track in the rain with Spec 2s! .

Looks like you had a great day though, can't wait to get mine out there

Yep that's him. Obviously not a fan of making money then

The Spec 2's were great in the dry but it was 'interesting' in the wet, looking at some Yoko Advan Neova AD08 for my trackday wheels, heard good things about them in the wet and dry, the Spec 2's are my road going compromise.

I get a deal on Yoko's if you're wondering why I'm such a fan!

Did Castle Combe last year for the first time, great circuit.

Car looks planted and great on track. Love the wheels.

What suspension has this got? love the stance it has, did you get much rubbing when cornering hard?

Hi again, it was good, but as you say the rain changed the track completely didn't it!! Lovely sound you had coming from those ITB's too!

Its the KTR coilovers, everybody seems to hate them on here but I find them fine, certainly didn't show myself up out on track although there was some seriously quick machinery out there!

But yes, there was some rubbing on the hard corners, need to higher it a couple of notchs next time maybe, but it wasn't that bad and I didn't do any damage to the tyres.

I've used them on track and for the money they're not bad. If anything they're more useful on track than on the road as they're crashy as hell

Thanks, love the wheels too, old skool cool rules as far as I'm concerned, had turbines on my first Mark 1 16v and loved them ever since.

But I've got these little beauties getting some Yoko Advan Neova AD08 put on soon for the next trackday (you've got to have a sense of humour haven't you)

Yeah, my spine is a lot harder than it used to be!
