    Re: My Grp4 Escort sprint and track day car.

    Cheers guys, thanks for the comments.

    I took her out for a good spin round my local test loop on some nice bumpy lanes and the difference is amazing!!! It used to skip around and be a bit of a handful but now I just scared myself stupid when I realised i was flat in 5th!!!

    Really looking forward to getting the chance to push her a bit more on an event.

    Sounds like a good plan Ashley, I think Otterburn is favorite at the moment as Tom Lives close and has been over there a few times before.

    So what's next on the list then?? Ideas??

          Do you mean events or upgrades Matt?

              Not sure on upgrades, you can't have much left to change or upgrade!!

              Events wise, have you thought about going to Belgium or Holland? Your not too far from Dover are you?

                Belgium and Holland would be ace, I suppose really the only additional cost would be the ferry for everyone? I'm not sure the wife would approve though

                  And all the extra beer you end up drinking! Ferries to Belgium are between 150 - 180 euro for a car and van respectively. Have a look here for the Rally sprint details http://www.fairfieldmotorsport.com/r...nt2011_005.pdf

                  I think Mista Weaver has done whole rallies over there so might be able to give a better indication of costs.

                            Yea Mull would be the dream, I've been up there for the last 10 years so I always dream of doing it.

                            Tom and I will be doing Otterburn in Sept so I'll see how it goes over there. Gonna do the midsummer Cearwent as well.
