Re: The journey of one man and his Mule(s)

Well it wouldn't be a mule... :lol:

I don't know if it helps, but my brother recently stripped all of the paint off a mountain bike frame. I think he had best results using paint remover and a razor-blade to lift/scrape the paint off. And gloves, obviously :eye:

Re: Blyton Park in my Rev5 N/A (onboard footage)

Yeah, plenty of people will tell you that you can go flat through Port Froid. In truth it very much depends on the car and setup, as the driver of a TVR Tamora on Nankang tyres found out to his cost #-o :lol:

Re: Blyton Park in my Rev5 N/A (onboard footage)

Looks like you had a lot of fun! A well sorted mk2 is very capable on track.

Next time you're there try holding 3rd through Bunga Bunga and 4th through Port Froid. Scary as hell the first time I tried it but you can lose a lot of time there (or end up in a field) :D

Lovely looking car. I remember driving Pete's rev5 on track a few years back and being genuinely surprised at how good it was. Bet it's loads of fun :thumleft:

One of my all time favourite mk1s. Still got a couple of shots of the old shell from JAE in (I think) 2012:

Blimey. I must have seen or been in (possibly even driven?!) this while Pete had it, but his cars have all blended into one and I don't even remember it! :lol: Good to read the progress though, amongst all the mega builds here it's nice to see an early NA getting some decent attention.

Re: Hi new to the forum, cars on eBay advice

Nothing wrong with that in itself, cars generally have a wider appeal if they're visually standard as aftermarket gubbins is very much in the eye of the beholder. I guess the best thing really would be to judge the car on its current merits and value given its condition and the asking price, irrespe...

Re: Ben's second-car thread - MR2s and Westfields inside...

Round 2: Blyton. Bit of a different story! Basically, it rained at the wrong time. That't my excuse. I stuffed up the first (and only dry) run so had no hope of even a half-decent result, and then spent the rest of the day in these conditions: http://i429.photobucket.com/albums/qq14/benedwards64/Bly...

Re: Bedford Autodrome MSV 19th June

Its the perfect track for a trackday noob, practically impossible to hit anything and has a good mix of fast chicanes, tight corners, and decent straights. I've found on a hot day it can be quite brutal on the cooling system as a fair bit of the track is wide open throttle, but as long as your cars...
