Car appreciation... the aesthetics, the engineering, etc

It's a very generous dyno then.

A bit of googling shows 280-290 just the chip and exhaust from the turbo back. I know it has a landrover air to air intercooler, and remember something being mentioned about port matching the inlet to the head and the exhaust.

I'm thinking cheap quick shed that I can use for building rubbish transport and then sell on.

Suspect the idea is a bit stoopid as it is a 6 odd hour drive on non toll roads and some twisty bits so maybe a diesel estate would be better (more boring) bigger load areas so C5 or mondeo.

Crystal Palace, anyone? Could poss have a bbq/piss-up at mine after.

What's happening at Crystal Palace?

motorsport at the palace. end of may

Hill climb/time trial on the old race track, and a car show of sorts.

i've agreed to buy one of these and collect it tonight (the tent but in black)

am i doing the right thing?

yes

I can do the daytime but I'm busy in the evening

LFGSS club stand?

We could definitely get some diverse cars

shit, yes!

ok... the approval of two strangers is good enough for me. done.

when you bought the g-wagen, was it from dpuk already modded, or you bought it then took it to them for the mods?

edit: scrap that, I just read back three pages, tis a very nice mota!

that's how this works, right?

(good job, btw)

alright. i will buy a ticket. anyone else in?

full disclosure: i am submitting my apc docs on the 31st (and am only about 1/2 way thru completing them), so i reserve the right to bail last minute.

mine are crap! one is on a rotisserie and the other looks like it needs to go on one!

maybe the gti? def not a classic in my book.

Mine isn't exactly show worthy, but the stand idea was a semi-joke, happy to park wherever and just mooch about and watch the action. I'll buy a ticket too, it's only £12.50 and if I have to bail then someone else can have it.

oh, i was joking, too. the idea of sitting in a foldy chair behind the car with a picnic makes me want to quit life

could always park at mine, then head up

When is it?

Weekend after next, I think.

yep bh weekend

RICS?

Yes but only if it is a bolt on ladder as if the ground is a bit muddy the ladder sinks.

Actually I'm saying fuck that shit, the event used to be run by the sevenoaks and district club and now live promotions who do race retro et al. So doubt you will be able to get as close to the cars as before.

wonder if the m3 engined 2002 touring will be there.

yep
