I would've said yes, but knowing the roads up that way, I would probably get the battlecruiser stuck and have an extremely hard time keeping up with Al's uber bannana



ETA:


I took these especially for you when I was at Harewood Al

I had a bloke in a Mitsi Evo say "You like that dont ya"

To which I replied "No..just like to take shots as you dont see them!"

Then he promptly recommended that I buy an Evo rofl rofl bless him


I had a chat with the guy who was running the 512, smashing old chap goes by the name of Leon...he was such a pleasant guy and didnt mind throwing the car round Harewood like a chav would with a stolen Nova!

Top bloke and what a lovely sounding motor too cloud9

Cheers for the pics ... here are a few from my little jolly this morning. I dunno, these Chim drivers miss all the fun hehe

Started off on some lovely quiet country lanes such as this:



then moved onto some lovely quiet moorland roads such as this:



In Yorkshire, when we say steep, we mean steep!



Oh, and an easy way to knock 10 degrees off your running temp



I actually quite like that look. Anyone got a handy link as to where I can get the self adhesive front plate stickers from please?

You're right, the front does look a hell of a lot better with the plate removed yes

A transformed car Scott. The backs are now running with negative camber (instead of positive!) and slight toe-in so they grip like hell and the fronts now have the right amount of toe-in (instead of one toe-in and one toe-out!).

I'm guessing the poly bushes are doing their bit too as the steering is now razor sharp and very quick yes

Also, after chatting with StuB, I have played with the tyre pressures as the car still felt a bit soft ... from the standard set up of 24R - 22F, I am now running them at 30R - 26F ... again, a noticeable improvement.

It's getting there ... slowly.

Great pics Al - wish I could have made it.

That particular stretch is stunning isn't it - lets get something sorted again.
