+1 Great to catchup with everyone and have all the Rexes out! Its a shame I have now got to lock mine away for the winterBen wrote:Top day, good to see everyone - not a bad show at all! some awesome machinery and even though used to hearing fil's mustang, still get the sh*t scared out of me when it fires up
Charity Motor Show Nov 17th 2013
Well first time to use sexy red rexy in full anger but all in all happy with the performance although slightly spoilt by the slightly warped disc so difficult to find out the true performance of the new brakes in very greasy conditions.
Apparently I was winning the flame out competition going into riches corner LOL a rex without flames just isn't normal....
One slightly funny moment was tearing up the pit straight to suddenly spot the Rozzers on the pit wall with a speed gun.......yep I lifted Doh !
Anyone get any pics of me on track ? Would love to see them.
Top quality cars on BP again especially helped by Team Extreme
Good to see you all guys...look forward to further developments on my car now that I know what its really like.

Thanks so much for the support from you guys (who attended) today.
My day consisted of basic fettling to some of the nicest cars I know of. Tough life eh?

Basic exterior valet (plus engine bay)

Mark Moseley was brave/mad enough to drive all the way from Ipswich in this torque monster on drag road tyres.

The sound of thunder looks like this! Even on a stand with thousands and thousands of horsepower parked side by side, this Mustang kicked arse every time Phil turned it over and stamped it's authority on proceedings!

This R35 has already set records in it's first season and looks set to break more next year. I lost count of how many people asked me about it's legality, it's power output and engine. The interest level of this GTR was through the roof. A stunning piece of engineering

The noise of this R35 was something special. The turbo's really quietened the engine down compared to the Mustangs but when Martin revved this, the V8 bellowed and the exhausts became rocket launchers!!

Sorry I didn't take more photos. With car inspections for future work, a few mates that I was keeping tabs on who were driving on track, losing my keys and other things I was a bit, er, busy.
