Hello all,

I was at castle combe on the weekend too, hope you don't mind me posting, I had a little look around one of the motors ( HJMs I think ) and he mentioned the website, I just wondered if any of you would happen to have any clips of my Alfa GT on video you wouldn't mind Sharing with me I was on the track with a couple of you in some of the sessions ( obliterated by some mean black beastie :sad3: ) so its possible you may have caught me on tape.

thought I'd post on the off chance, doesn't hurt to ask does it :)

Was a cool day even with the dodgy weather, pretty quick those VR4s considering the size of 'em.

Cheers
Sandy

Hi Sandy

We haven't even looked at our vids yet, but I am pretty sure we will have some of you, as I stood at quarry and videoed most of the group (although time will tell if I was actually videoing the cars or the sky :rolleyes4 )If we have any with you in, we will happily post it up or send it to you, no problem. Just need to learn how !!

Glad you had a good day too - we had a blast :2thumbsup

Cheers,

Mrs HJM !!

Great so I could be in luck, thought it might be worth a shot :) if you have to post anything off like a vid or CD, I will of course cover your costs, just let me know, must get around to sorting out my own in car video gear.

I saw you coming and surrendered LOL ( pretty sure it was an estate? ) , backed off and got the indicator on pretty sharpish, you were flying, sliding round the corners would have been a good vid from a chase car unfortunately it wouldn't be me casing not in my diesel.

Sorry mate, just checked our video quickly and don't appear to have any footage of you :sad3:

We'll go through it again more thoroughly at the weekend and double check - when we will also try to post some up :oops: :rolleyes4

Hi Sandy,

Love the wheels on that GT ........ they look 18 or even 19 inch but are they standard? If not, do you mind me asking which make and model they are?

Am presently looking for some new ones.

Thanks

No Probs, that signature is misleading, its not my car, nuaghty I know, it was close enough though, I didn't have a good photo for a sig so modded one, they are 19" in the photo I have the 18s from Alfa which are similar, they are heavy alloys coming in at 11kg each aparently toora make similar

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v420/hoadster80/cc9.jpg

Multispoke would probably suit the mitsubishi though I'd probably be trawling jap sites for whats available as you can get some good quality forged 18/19 alloys that come in at 7kg which'll help the ride, you have to bear in mind that with UK roads being what they are 18/19 hamper ride somewhat and if your a muppet a parking like myself, you have bugger all rim protection and your alloys will take a beating :(

Yep tell me about it... parking next to 10 inch kerbs was a nerve racking experience... :anxious: the tyres aint cheap either ..

The wheels look superb on the alfa Sandy...

With the weight of the leggie/estate the slightest dink/dent in the road felt/sounded like you had zero suspension or no air in the tyres.. I guess tyre pressures are critical with that kind of profile 30/35. I use to wonder if the tyres would peel or roll off with enthusiastic cornering :rolleyes4 (just like that red beema in tha background)
