Nope
I got sidetracked mate; sorry
There was quite a broad cross section of cars and drivers, with the all too familiar criticism of bad driver behaviour and a miss match of driver experiences. Fezza and Micared (bloody forum names :roll: ) were severely cut up by a Caterham and there were countless comments about too much traffic.
My pick of the other cars, outside of the normal BigPower collective, was a 495bhp race Cerbera running proper slicks and full aero. That was tatty as you like but built with a singular purpose in mind (going very quickly)
The owner was very quick to come over and find Ross. He wanted to know 'what the Hell have you done to that?' which was quite amusing. Gary's answer of 'no mate, it's standard' was better
The surprise of the day, in a nice way, was Jonv's M3. Powered by an E46 M3 engine and one of Specialised Components ECU's and an APT map, it effortlessly pulled away from supposedly quicker cars. 340bhp, a decent suspension set up and AP brakes mean a genuinely well sorted car for around 10k. With him, Slarty and Richards M3 and Mr Beale's CSL with it's new diff, I'm going to have to push very hard indeed to keep any of them in sight when we all meet up.
I love a challenge
Edited to add that after reading Mike's post, the stage of development that both Gary's and Ross' cars are at means that things like this are almost inevitable. These guys are trying things with Evo's that no-one else has done in the UK. That takes a lot of bottle and money and yet they still keep plugging away, pushing the limits.
I may sound like I've got my APT t-shirt on today but I guess I'm just impressed and a little proud of what the small firm have achieved in such a short time, and seeing these two mug just about everyone else there this morning highlights that very well.
It's a shame about Ross but we all know how he'll bounce back.
