That's what we thought, he woke up, the morning after he told us this, in a pool of his own blood with a huge hangover and missing his glass bedroom door.

I think he's used up a couple of lives there :!: Both counts could have been far worse :roll: If he contests it he will probably end up with a bigger fine and possibly a ban :wink:


I naved him on a 12 car a week ago. He used up a couple of lives for both of us on that. :shock:

I didn't know Astras suffered from lift off oversteer problems before :?

Most cars do - if you pedal hard enough :lol: good to hear that you are out and about competing - fancy a slalom on 10th May in Blandford? Cheap as chips and bloody good fun 8)

I might be able to, would be pretty cool. I missed the Southsea autosolo last weekend due to work commitments :(. I must get the car back into shape before I compete again. It seems to be suffering recently, I think it's complaining about being stuffed into a bank on a 12 car a couple of weeks ago. Still I've been out on 2 12 cars since fitting the m42 and it's a great little car to drive now :D. Do I bother replacing the wing and front panel or do I just accept that my panel beating leaves a little to be desired and be happy with what I've done? Hmmm.

I'd generally agree, but if it is your road car too the plod may take an unhealthy interest if it looks too dodgy.

We have just had regs through for the slalom - £20 to enter (+£5 for day membership of car club) as an added Brucey Bonus I am organising a little hoon on the way there - we'll meet at Rownhams and drive over in a 'nonvoy.' Will be a variety of cars including SLK 55AMG, six or more Elises, possibly a TVR, the rally car - and you 8) Not compulsory but there are some fab roads en route and it seems a shame to waste them :lol:

Please PM if you'd like more info...

i'd be tempted by this, but unfortunately still have some stuff to do on the car, the track rod adjustment bolts are locked solid on the z3 rack, looks like I'm going to have to remove it from the car and get a blow torch on them :(

Marlon - you can enter in any car. Everything from MOT failures to a KIA estate to rally cars entered the last one. Cheap day and good fun whatever you drive. Nothing to hit and if you pump up the tyres they'll barely be affected...

Hmm, I'm not sure my lowly m42 would keep up with such prestigious company. Hopefully we will see.

You're welcome to come along in anything - and as the hoon part of the day is on public roads (during daytime) we won't be going too crazy so you'll be able to keep up. The event itself is brilliant fun - especially in RWD car - I'll bring a compressor so you can pump the rear tyres up - the rally car (pre M3) was best with rear tyres at 50psi 8)

If you'd like a set of regs please pm me your e-mail address. Thanks
