yeah they do get propper serious about it, had some women shout at me its a f...ing jap show not a french c..p car show for c..p!!. had to laugh!!
you still get a lot of people show appreciation for what we built in a farm workshop, but then as you know you know you always get haters. i thing as a whole if a car is done well for what money is spent, regardless of the make people always appreciate good workmanship!
cheers

yeah i know those quotes on you tube are just gay, makes me laugh when people say its a shed etc, i just say yeah i agree its a shed and no concours car but you still couldnt keep up in an ek9 type r!.
the last thing im gonna worry about is a 278bhp civic, its all about if he is willing to push it as hard as we do round combe!!
cheers bud

cheers bud, the car was going well for the first session and considering ive never drove there before!
then the inevitable happed...
in the sescond session we blew the gearbox so that was game over, im not surprised in the slightest. just a shame it was at fcs and 3 hours from home and not like coombe 20 miles away.
to top it off gordon who runs fcs gave me his unlimited afternoon track time pass too till it all went wrong.
ive got a vid of my session but wont let me upload onto photo bucket as too big!! any ideas?
its 997mb
cheers chris
