st3ph3n Posted April 8, 2008 Author Posted April 8, 2008 I'm going to get a Fisher Fury or something in a few years I think. Then go sprinting and climbing. Anyway best of luck to those competeing, I'll hopefully be at a few of them.
fiestajohn Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 I have entered the Scottish Hillclimb Championship in my Fiesta again this year. I hope to do all the rounds (Doune, Forrestburn, Fintray) The first rounds are at Doune on the 19/20th of this month.

Pointless. My plan is to keep biulding it up till its near bullet proof and then keep it mostly for track and I'll get a Beemer for every day use. That is some years down the line however! And I don't mean a Beemer like G.Mac's! Sorry, no offence, but I'd like a really nice new one your blocks pretty much bullet proof for the horses your running, all you need now is the gearbox to go with it, get saving for the PPG! or you could try selling a lung or kidney?
colin_ross Posted April 9, 2008 Posted April 9, 2008 PPG can be done for much cheaper if you're prepared to bide your time and watch the for sale forums like a hawk. High spec cars are normally broken rather than sold as that where you get the most money. If someone is parting out a big spec car there will defo be a built gearbox somewhere in the mix. Have some cash put by and be prepared to move fast (literally) when you see one.

zeolite Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 Getting OT here a bit guys. Track days are NOT competition. There is a huge difference

But the point remains and it amazes me the amount that some fok will spend on a track day car when they could be competing for less.
