Congratulations on the first place at volksfest man. Was well worthy of it. I was in the black Ibiza two cars down from you.

Nice to see a track based car taking a position at show n shine.

Well there was one disadvantage of using the car cover was that once I took the car out for a drive I couldn't really put the cover back over. Plus I've had enough of the kids running around by the cars and going past on their bikes, already put a stitch on my Passat. Having no garage to store the Ibiza in and thinking of going further around the UK to do trackdays I decided to buy a fully enclosed trailer.

Spotted you in the services near Northampton on Sunday. Parking was a bu:censored:er with the crowd that was there! I take it you went to Trax as there was no sign of you in
ED38.

Seen this today at Trax, looked like you was going well and the scream of a valver is AWESOME!

Thanks fella, I was loving it around silverstone and was laughing at that KW Suspension M3 that couldn't keep up under braking and around corners lol

Few little updates:

Manage to find a "Seat Sport" decal off eBay, been looking for one of these for years and randomly came across it so had to have one! Placed it by my gear stick :)

And also did another few track sessions at Castle Combe on Audi Driver International

Which wasn't the best day because track manners on my 1st session weren't the best. And then my 2nd session I waited for an hour in the pit lane, seen 4 Audi's que up after me go onto track before me, do a session come back into the pit lane go back out on a 2nd and then came out on the same session as me.

They were told to get Audi's on 1st. I jumped in my car at 15:15 when I asked the lady in the pit "What time is the last session?" she told me 16:30 asked her what the time was now and told me 16:15. And then on that session my gears were not selecting very well and told me 5 goes to get into 3rd all the time.

Spoken the to lady on the signing on bit and shetook my last ticket and details then refunding me so she said.

Not going to another Audi Day ever again if they open it up to other VAG cars!

Stunning example of a mk2 dave :D. I don't know if someone has allready mentioned this (aint got time to read through entire thread lol) but I think that the only thing lacking that would give it the perfect finishing touch is a F2 rally front bumper, they look awsome on the kiwi's and would compliment your rally spoiler perfectly :)

Thanks Nick, only problem with the F2 front bumper is high low it sits... I know both RobT and F2 Stu had cracked and damaged theirs when they had them fitted. I'm more than happy with the bodywork now, just more money spent on the engine now :)
