    Backwards across the grass and into the barrier 3 times on the bottom straight, looked like at least front wing/bubble arch , rear bubble, rear corner (possibly 1/4) and maybe a bootlid too?! Caught out with boost and rain i think

    Not good in the rain with trackday tyres in a cossy powered car...

    Hope the driver is ok

    Had a really good day, and enjoyed myself, Thanks to Neil NTS and Winkle for bringing my parts down from Reading, and Parajon for collecting the cage.
    Pigs cafe FPMSL, And great to see some cracking cars out on track, some proper cars out there being driven really well

    Good to catch up with a few of the usual suspects, and put some names to faces

    Was it the white Mk1 that stuffed it ?

    Must of been not long after I left as it had only just started to rain.

    Good turn out though, loving the 309 ! can't believe no one has had that off him yet.

    Your 309 is AWESOME !

    first time I have seen it in the flesh, if I didn't want to use my car on the road a little I'd sell up and buy it.

    How does it compare in lap times to the Escort round Brands ?

    hi jonboy to be honest thats the first time i've driven the pug in five years and with that engine,
    as soon as i got it on track it pissed down and i'de just put on 4 new slick so i could'nt really test it properly but it should be loads quicker than the escort .

    Escort or 309 hmmmmmm

    This Escort has been SUCH hard work I can't really give up on it but I'd have no problems raising the cash for the Pug if I was to sell up.

    I just like my old cars, and being a Thunder Saloon its got some history which is uber cool.

    Someone put a Ford badge on it as Pig wants something with massive power and rwd

    Top car though Ricky and the Escort is real nice too.

    I need to get my car done asap, just walking around the pits today annoys me

    I wish mate, if i hadnt got the evo and still had the money from the mk2 burning a hole in my pocket you could probably have bent my arm

    Just imagine going shopping in it, you'd need 2 spaces at least

    Yep, if circumstance slightly different would be tempted by the Pug – look good value and good fun car to have…

    A good win day tho imo – enjoyed it and thanks Simon for getting me to my youngest’s foot academy session in time after – top driving back, topped day off…
