Do you have to handbrake there, it looks like it'll be quicker to just go through smoothly.

Oh yeah, it would have been a lot quicker, but I was just out for a laugh really - I knew I wasn't going to win anything in a car that's not in any way built for the track, with a boot full of sub, a jack and 150 piece socket set flying about in the back, so I just went for the most smiles per mile! I was going to do a proper run at it on the last lap, but went a little bit fast in so was in danger of running wide on the exit (It would have been close anyway) so thought sod it, and yanked on the bar.

I was staying well away from the apexes too, because they were all potholed onto the grass and I had a 5 hour drive home to manage in the car and no RAC cover!

On hindsight, If I'd have tried I'd have come 3rd in class (second car) and got a faster time than the Clio 172..... but nevermind, I had a good time and gave a good show B)

Well, I can't think of anything else to do to it now it's all fixed up and sorted.. Kind of thinking of selling up and getting a classic to modify in an unconventional manner. Anyone interested drop me a PM or something :)

WOW!

I like this B)

I bought same wheels and wanted same thing on my daily, but I keep 15'' A2 wheels because I have only 1 liter engine :D

But I redrilled hubs to 5x100 and it's not problem at all.

I had only one problem, man in machine shop was drunk so he drill holes 2mm off....
