nice looking leggie... has quite a few options there.
VR-4
Same day as i came back to the foldOriginally Posted by chris g
Nice looking car Chris.. looks very straightAnd in the best colour of course
And nice to see it's got a Proper Arse this time
Thanks for the comments and glad that someone likes my arse...
...and that gearbox is fine, leave it alone!
Yes you can, its just those Hickssan GTR's you can't rely upon !!!
Any of your Easter motley crew going in October ?
H
Rod (MR2) may be going, Simon (205) and Roger(Westfield) almost certainly not and Rich, now with M3, will not take car so asked him if interested in going as passenger
Being busy recently I have only just had time to check out this thread, and the photos.
Silver would not be my first colour choice, I like the darker colours, but in every other respect I AM JEALOUS!!!
Grey recaros, moonroof, facelift...... Beautiful!!
Dont be so sure Jane
Well that would be good D, don't think I've seen you there driving your car..
..look fwd to that and I can follow you around in my estate as well..
It would certainly be a momentous occassion to see Del driving his own car in anger around the Ring.........my hand would go up for a pax lap
Well I am afraid that this thread goes full circle...
... as some of you may know and/or have read on another thread, my Galant Estate is no more...
Because of problems during trip to the Ring in September...
To paraphrase (misquote) a famous writer....
...there is a corner in a foreign land
...a corner at The Green Hell
...that shall be forever England
I am afraid the corner that shall be forever England is where my Galant Estate met its end. It is no more - with nearside front and rear damage it has been deemed a write-off by my insurance co.
All the paperwork is done, documents and keys handed over, and money received. I am again without VR-4
So, I am now looking for a VR-4 again.....
Bugger!
So, will you go for the same spec of VR-4 or different this time?
Yes, bugger!
But not the phrase I used at that moment when I knew a collision was imminent, nor afterwards as I surveyed the damage and I waited for the Ring staff and the breakdown truck
I have been willing to consider any spec and have checked a few examples on-line...
...I prefer facelift models as my saloon was and the estate as well..
...mainly for the foglight/turn light combination, ease to fit brembos and of course those vital extra 20PS...
What corner did you crash at?
Most importantly, did you get to keep the steering wheel and the interior? Those recaro's are so hot!
After T13, at the bottom of the hill as you turn right into the 'straight' prior to Hatzenbach
And no, steering wheel, seats and all the car in hands of ins co - was stored at Repair Shop on Dutch/German border - ins co wanted £1400 for the car as scrap - will have been sold on in europe to whoever...
Why you gonna check it out on yer playstation then Brad ?
H
ps Chris don't mention T13 or you'll have Jane and James arguing about where it is - AGAIN !!!
Well just for information, for BradC and all readers who are uncertain of the location of T13...
It's the straight bit after the bendy bit......
...and before the Karrussel!
From what I can see on maps, after the part where the track rejoins from the short circuit, you have a sharp left, then start going down hill. There is a sweeper to the right, then a mild left, then a sharp left. It is somewhere there correct?
F1 track joins Nordschleife by Grandstand (T13 -Tribune 13)
Then a left downhill which then continues downhill and slight right hand kink
At bootom of hill a sharp right onto a short straight
As I turned at bottom of hill.....
