P345 *** - followed you for a bit today, looked like you didn't want to play. Probably a good idea as your rear right wheel was wobbling like hell - badly buckled, loose or a very dodgy tyre.
First VR4 i've seen in the last year!

That was me then. Didn't see you wanting to play sorry. I'll get that wheel checked didn't know about it. Thanks
Nice one - so what's the spec of the VR4, how long have you had?
I was in an Audi A6 Avant (silver) so you probably ignored me - to be honest, there was no playing to be done, I came up behind you in traffic just off Burnaby rd, and at the A444 you went one way and I went another.
Keep an eye out though when i'm in the LCR, it eats VR4s
I've had it a couple of weeks, Full stailess exhaust with decat, HKS air filter, GBF deceptor dump/recert valve and 18inch rims. Order my guages and boost control too but not here as yet. Whats LCR sorry if thats a silly question
This'll be what you see though
only joking...
Hope to see you around. Would be nice to have a closer look, bring back some memories.
Are you local to me then? I live just off the cresent in Radford.
Yep, Coundon.
Whats done to your seat to make it so fast then? My misses has a brand new seat to teach in, she's a driving instructer, nice motors.
It's a Leon Cupra R - 210 bhp standard. Well set up, 2WD, so no big transmission losses (and no traction from standstill!), 323mm Brembo 4-pots - 6.5secs to 60, 150mph, it's pretty quick, and it stops well.
Sounds like a race for my golf mk1. has 190bhp no interior, no weight, no heating, Carpets, back seats an no traction at all. Takin both to avon park monday if you fancy popping down. we have a few cars going, I'm takin just 2 of mine the Golf and VR-4
Is it a RWYB?
I love Mk1 Golfs - had one years back, the 1.6 gti, 1981 model.
yeh rwyb. MIne was a 1.8gti but now a full race 2.2 TSR engine and stripped with a rollcage
No. It cannot be! I believe *I* am the only purple VR4 in the village...

The KieranCorp Secret Service continues to viciously abuse and falsely accuse this innocent paragon of virtue. The distress has been so great that he no longer can continue his selfless charitable work with homeless children and abused sheep.
The Kierancorp Secret service is interested in hearing from anyone who has red hair, likes wearing a spook uniform, and enjoys nocturnal barbecues. Funny handshake optional.
Think i've seen that parked up. Fair play. I am thinking of a track day car at the minute, considered a golf, would be interested to hear how much it's cost you in all. I am probably only going to spend a grand on something, hopefully already with cage.
How much is the RWYB? I may be up for that, depending on weather.
The golf has also been my daily driver for last 6months, cost me a little under £3000 to get built up. I know of another mk1 in cov with a cage (I think)
and a mk2 16valve motor in it wanted £800 for it but I know he'd take less. It's £20.00 to race and £12 or 15 to get in so about £35 for the day.
Might be interested in that Mk1 - do you have any more details?
Is that £20 unlimited runs? If it's a nice day may take the family - sister in law lives round the corner from you, she has a black Civic Type R,they might take that too.
I know it was recently mot'd, must have 10 moths on it. body works not great , but solid had new front wings and bit of welding for mot. Its black but needs painting really. It's in cheylesmore on the Daventry Rd on the lads front garden lives next to my mum n dad thats how i know it, had it about 2 years but don't use it.
I believe it is unlimited runs, We got 8 runs in last time then they clutch gave up on the golf this was about 3 weeks ago
How did you get on then? Saw you again today - your numbers still chalked on the rear windscreen - came flying up behind you up to the 444 roundabout - beeped and flashed, but then went the other way to you.
I took it faily easy but was pleased with a 14.2 second quarter mile and I've also managed a 4.9 0-60 but still had more but not pushing her too hard until i've had cam belt changed and a good service. not sure where to take it
