That is terrible picture of my car back in the dirty run down days before i tarted it up to sell her. that day took it out of her abit that grill came off on my third run and broke the bonnet catch and all the mounting clips lol. Cant wait to get the 854 up there and see what it can do.
The only issue I have with the Pod is you can see eff all from the fire-up lane. Just looked at the dates - I could do Sat 24th.
i've already signed up for something with Santa Pod, got a feeling it was "street car challenge" or something so might be a different thing. They give you a pre-allocated race number which i thought was good
Does it include a free tow home lol
[quote=Jamest5r;474507]Does it include a free tow home lol[/quote] as it happens yes it does, just ask frankie :p
Has his car blown up again?
[quote=Wobbly Dave;474519]Has his car blown up again?[/quote] no but it did nearly, i have had three breaddowns at three race meets this year, i have since repaired it is ready to go
[quote=Jamest5r;474507]Does it include a free tow home lol[/quote] good job i only live 5 miles from the track eh?

Also first time on the strip in a manual could be some crunching

I'm going to try and do more this year, when the barge is on the road.
[quote=LiamT4;475164]I'm going to try and do more this year, when the barge is on the road.[/quote] there isnt alot you can do with them mate really
Anyone fancy next Saturday at the Pod?
[quote=t5frankie;475167]there isnt alot you can do with them mate really[/quote] No, but at least it'll manage a 60ft time in less than 2.7seconds.
[quote=LiamT4;475171]No, but at least it'll manage a 60ft time in less than 2.7seconds.[/quote] 2.69? lol
[quote=Wobbly Dave;475170]Anyone fancy next Saturday at the Pod?[/quote] Unfortunatly i work most saturdays. [quote=t5frankie;475172]2.69? lol[/quote] lol One part where i know the bmw will beat my s70r, is off the line. By the time the turbo has come in, the 540 will be long gone. ;)

[quote=Wobbly Dave;475170]Anyone fancy next Saturday at the Pod?[/quote] i might do dave only round the corner for me
[quote=t5frankie;475178]i want my big v8 merc amg, seriously condsidering selling my v70r to fund one[/quote] Well you better get one before they all rust away :hilarious
I think I will have to pop down for a play.
[quote=LiamT4;475181]Well you better get one before they all rust away :hilarious[/quote] i know mate exactly thats why i need one now, there is a lovely one on ebay for £2195 but its an e36 amg good compromise between power and economy though i reckon 280bhp still and only a 3.6
[quote=Wobbly Dave;475183]I think I will have to pop down for a play.[/quote] better get fixing my car then lol

Apart from the bodywork issues, i think they're supposed to be pretty reliable too. Take it you'll still have a fast volvo though?
[quote=LiamT4;475202]Looks nice, cheap too. Apart from the bodywork issues, i think they're supposed to be pretty reliable too. Take it you'll still have a fast volvo though?[/quote] of course mate, just an idea at the moment, ill put all my good stuff on the s70r if i do and make it standard, dunno whether i could have an e36 knowing there is an e55 though lol

Bit in between them both, not got the character of the e-class though.
[quote=LiamT4;475263]I know what you mean, what about a c43amg? Bit in between them both, not got the character of the e-class though.[/quote] what about this as i need a 7 seater really? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/110843468477?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649#ht_581wt_1313

Have it for a few months and get rid if the bodywork is that bad?
i would still slap its ass on the strip but i do like the amg c63 what a sound and a complete animal too.
[quote=LiamT4;475335]Hmm tricky, had a few bits done recently, but the bodywork seems pretty bad (even for a merc lol). Have it for a few months and get rid if the bodywork is that bad?[/quote] it comes with new doors and a bumper though, worth getting rid of my v70r for though?
[quote=smithy;475345]i would still slap its ass on the strip but i do like the amg c63 what a sound and a complete animal too.[/quote] but mr smith we is all poor and cannot afford such cars lol
[quote=t5frankie;475346]it comes with new doors and a bumper though, worth getting rid of my v70r for though?[/quote] No..... is the simple answer.

[quote=t5frankie;475348]but mr smith we is all poor and cannot afford such cars lol[/quote] i know thats why i drive a 940 mate
[quote=smithy;475363]i know thats why i drive a 940 mate[/quote] no you dont you drive an s40 1.8
[quote=t5frankie;475361]there is another with 53k and its only £9000 ffs:crazy:[/quote] I don't know how much a good one goes for, but i think it would cost a bit more than 2-3k to get one that looks better than your v70r. Decisions, decisions lol
[quote=LiamT4;475366]I don't know how much a good one goes for, but i think it would cost a bit more than 2-3k to get one that looks better than your v70r. Decisions, decisions lol[/quote] wish i could afford and have 4 cars
