Just wanna say well done to the eighty or so escort RS turbo owners for keeping your cars in such superb condition for the parade laps. Younger drivers of such cars get a bit of a hard time of it but having walked the length of the parade I didnt see one rust spot or dinged panel. Fair play to ya.


oh and the Mk1 and Mk2 escort mexico's, RS2000's etc were just superb and I want one big time.

Was a good day yesterday, one of the best Nat Days for ages. Track was superb.

Gutmann pug

I did see you out on the track ......... well claire pointed you out to me anyway.

There were a few scoobynetters there......... Rob in the black STi with odd wheels was doing his level best to whoooop some butt and doing a good job of it and the ''satsuma'' evo also.

Redkop

Rob always gives it his all - his Scoob is more suited to Oulton and CC though. I have had passenger rides out with him at Oulton in it, also the 'satsuma' Evo, thats running 450bhp You should have come over and said hello.

£15 quid was a bit steep to get in though!

Good job I didn't pay anything

Redkop

Did you and Clare go Dave?

Gutmann pug

I was with them at the Nurburgring at Easter and will be back over there with then again next month. Speaking to them yesterday I think the boost is turned up on the EVO now and its running nearer 500BHP. The guy who ownes it also has a 600BHP skyline and that is gorgeous to say the least. Oh and that Ford lightening 400bhp truck as well lol. He has tooooo much money IMHO.

Have you been to the ring before?

Gutmann pug

Ahh but you did pay Dave ........ It cost you £2.50 for an ice cream for me ....... I only wish the cones were bigger coz I could have gotten more scoops on it then and had a tenners worth lol

Redkop

He also has a Westie that he tracks too ... the Skyline is running a lot more than 600bhp

davyboy

Yep, Clare and I went after we had an early alarm call.......baaaaaaaarp tsssssssssssh!

I did see you on the pit wall, but we had a bit of track in the way to get to you.

SIDC could learn something from an event like that......very well organised with some fantastic cars there.

Gutmann pug

will get a ride in the Skyline next month ......

My missis has done an 8.30 lap in the white EVO that their mate Darren drives. That boy can drive.

All good lads though and thats the main thing.

Redkop

Should have rung me, would have sneaked you some pit passes

Wasn't the A1 Rally Sport WRC white Esc Cos awesome?

Gutmann pug

If thats the one with the solid rear spoiler then YESSSSSSSS. It was lapping around 1 min 22

davyboy

lol, yes it was, I was dissapointed that it could lap 8 seconds faster than I could go...........now I know it is WRC spec I am less concerned!

I managed to blag some tickets in the end, else I would have gone straight home!

Redkop

Yep I timed it at 1.22 as well. Steve Scott is a brilliant driver and a brilliant tuner too [He does my car]

Andy M3

Anyone see a few Volvo's hanging about, apparently there was a bit of a gathering ??? As for me i was at gaydon BMW festival, which was nice !

Gutmann pug

Yeah i saw a few of them in the in-field. Not that many though I dont think.

Nicci

I noticed lots of RS, cosworths etc. on the M1 yesterday morning and guessed there must have been something going on at Donny. Didn't see any convoys though.

Dream Weaver

Thought there must be an RS day somewhere down that way - went to Leicester to buy a car and saw loads of Cossies on the A50 - 2 blue Escort Cossies together, looked superb

Redkop

Escort Cossies are superb
