Couldn't really miss the Scum-Chariots last weekend, they were all over the shop... Which one had hthe crazy air horns ?

That's my arm (in the Audi), that is!

A lot had airhorns to be honest!!

That's Shark 90's S2 ****box with zero rubber in the wishbone bushes.

IIRC, your other half was there with his Mk2 GTI? Biff (doing Scumball but didn't go out on track due to running problems) was there with his Mk2 GTI Turbo - long story short, he knows your other half.

Pretty much all of the UK Mk2s were properly flying round the track. Which is why I've ditched my original idea for the original track toy and am going to stick a decent 1.8T in a Mk2 GTI now.

Yep, we were there in this:

It's a VR6 though not a GTI

Proper stealth

What kind of lap times does that toy put in?

My hunt for a Mk2 with a 20V turbo conversion has already started, but I can't be a*sed to go all the way to Scotland to take a look at a decent one! Need to wait until a properly built one comes up a bit closer to home...

Zero rubber in one of the wishbone bushes...

KW V2's arrived yesterday so I'll get them on and the bushes done ASAP and might go back to the ring in October.

Ben, did the lights survive? The flex whilst followoing you for >100 miles in France was 'interesting'

They were still there when he got back to Dover. The lights didn't come off going round the Ring, but the magnetic "Novotel Brussells Minivan" sticker did when he got over about 80...

Fortunately, it flew off in the direction of the armco and landed on the other side
