Hi Folks, some of you speed event guys might know me already.

I'm from the Aberdeen area and drive a 106 Rallye which doubles as my hillclimb car.

I did the '05 Scottish Hillclimb Championship in the 106 and previously in a Mk1 Fiesta Supersport.





The 106 is currently undergoing a makeover so it wont see a hillclimb venue for a while

Lol...

That pic was taken at the 1st corner at Fintry hillclimb... oversteer beats understeer anyday... i just wish my 106 would do it.

It kicks the back end out when i go over the bump before oak tree at Doune but thats it.

Rear suspenson (lack of) damping issues... i bought some 3 way Proflex dampers for the rear so hopefully it'll handle a bit better when its out next.

Fine ta, kept busy at work this weekend and all next week... it'll pay for some new engine goodies though.

How's You?

[Ess_Three]

I'm good thanks Dave...

Been practicing my sidewards exits from junctions on these greasy roads...much fun!

Haven't had a blether with you for a while...must try to catch up.
I was trying to get hold of Snap On yesterday for a blether...but he's dropped off the radar!

Back offshore on Thursday for me...boo!

[D-Speed]

Snap on spends most of his time in amongst the AX rally car.

Its in bits just now as you'd expect...

I got some goodies today.

David, how are you?

I'm a new member too and was wondering how you get into these hillclimb events.

I've got a WRX RA, all stripped, caged etc etc and only use it for trackdays but would be interested in the hillclimbs for a blast.

Any info would be much appreciated.
