I'm missing something...

And i thought Merc Edwards was dead. That's a turn up for the books ;)


Mark is very much alive but don;t know yet if he can make it - so the reserves will need to shout.

[qoute]get a boost guage on there to see what your running otherwise its a bit pointless...... [/quote]

The decat pipe hasn't really raised my boost - in 1st and 2nd it still stops around 10psi, and in 3rd it slowly builds to 13psi.

Maybe a slight bit more than before, but no more than half a psi at most (the gauge isn't that precise after all)

Quick directions as a general guide for those coming from the M25:

If you are coming Anti clockwise, you wont be able to get off at junction 25.

You'll have to go to Junction 24 and spin it round so you are heading back in the clockwise direction. You can now get off at Junction 25.

You could get of at 26 and work your way through but if in convoy you'll most likely get split up.

So off at 25, as you come up the exit ramp there'll a set of lights at the roundabout. you want to head North bound on the A10, (which is the 1st on the roundabout) Sign posted Hertford.

As you head up the A10, you'll come to a large roundabout. Go straigh over.

Then a set of lights which has a big carwash on the left hand corner, and over on the right my mates shop (no rules just racing). Go straight over at this set of lights.

Next set straight over.

ROad opens up in to a national speed limit Dual carriage way. You'll pass a little slip road that goes into Tesco's. (99ron here if you need it)

Carry on up the a10 and shortly after that slip road you'll come to the first junction. Ignore it and carry on up the A10.

You'll then come to the Next junction. Take this as it's the Hoddesdon one lol.

As you come up the exit ramp you'll come to a roundabout, you want the exit for hoddesdon, which is the 2nd exit.

Head down this road and you come to another roundabout. Go straight over and you will come to another.

1st exit at this one. Over the little bridge and you;ll see a set of lights. TURN RIGHT here. Garage is about 300 yards on the left opposite Valley Trucks.

See you there peeps.

Garage number is 01992 443 900.

pm me for mobile number if you need it.

Update from Japanese Performance Magazine.

Only have room for 12 cars, these will have to be the most powerfull and/or the best lookers. This is obviously down to room in the magazine.

I'm sure there'll still be pics of the tunout etc etc.
