    Good old days !!

    I was just thinking back to the good old days of Japfest @ Castle Combe. Lots of VR4's and great banter over the weekend.

    Found this old vid my boy edited.

    That was my first track excursion in the Scooby wagon, before the engine was rebuilt to fully forged spec. Had an issue with
    fuel starvation on the fast corners. Later overcome by installing a swirl pot and Bosch 044 pump. It was thanks to CVR4 that got me
    out on track for the first time 4 years early when I had the Silver Galoon.

    Mine was the factory standard spec black vr4 with gold wheels and stupidly large 5" exhaust tail pipe.
    The engine boost etc was standard. Only running 0.55/0.6 bar.
    But at the time it was the quickest car I had driven.

    Yep I remember it well. Once Vr4's get under your skin you're in trouble. I would have another tomorrow if the right Galoon came up ie A silver face lift Reg WX51*** Should never have
    sold it.

    Heh! Good times. Do you know if it is still alive? They seem to be getting quite popular now.

    Apparently SORN'd MOT expired 30 May 2015.

    Found out the other day my Silver Galoon is still alive and used daily by Steve A who bought it in 2008

    The guy that bought it from me promptly ruined it. Turned it into a MLR Sprint car. He has since sold it and havent a clue where it is now. Sad as it was immaculate and low mileage.

    Definitely crossed my mind as it's also been converted to manual now as well.
