Wow, had to be seen to be believed, even the commentator was getting excited everytime you took to the track, that is quite something when you think off all the cars he sees. So with more boost and big shot of NOS will it run 8s

Please come and support me in raising money for the Teenage Cancer Trust, via work I have organised a huge Funday and Craft Fair in Barton under Needwood which is just off the A38 near Burton on Trent, part of the display area is set aside for retro cars, last year we had Italian Job Minis but this year we want something more. I would love to see the Midlands cars use this as a meet. - The show opens at 11am to the public and we request all cars to be onsite by 10:30, the show is free to attend and you can camp for free on either the Friday or Saturday night, just let me know in advance. - This is a real family day with football tournament, live music, static displays and rides etc for the kids, we also have a craft fair with over 70 stalls and traders. - A low res copy of the poster is below. -

i do love an in car vid, must hook mine up again next time. consistantly ran 15.1 and picked up my best reaction time so far of 0.17, retro show is becoming one of the best with not many cars in the pit lane all morning, bit busier in the afternoon not helped by the MG spilling fluid down the middle of the lane rather than stopping straight away like Glenbo

oh well that will serve me right, bought mine last night without the discount

What a cracking way to spend a day, who would have thought that a 50mph average would have been such fun, please add your photos from the day.

dave, we should be leaving about 10/10.15, would be good to have some company for the drive there, looks like the best route from here is A511 then A515

how did you spot that, i uploaded the corrected version straight away, can you refresh and confirm it is correct cus it is this end. Meant to say the stop offs are Cat and Fiddle for lunch, then Monsal Head and Carsington Water. Anyone else want to come and join in, Trev you need to join us I need the pictures for the write up

Meeting place is Miraj Hotel car park on Derby Road in Ashbourne, follow signs for Airfield Ind Est. Time: Noon on Friday 29th April Route plan can be downloaded below but I will bring copies with me, had to make some adjustments from the first plan due to avoiding cattle grids etc http://www.rusticduck.co.uk/thehornet/PeaksTour2011.doc Overview Map 1 - NickB 2 - mk1rob 3 - flord escort 4 - Mick The Cabbie 5 - GT_Lenny 6 - duttnut 7 - PlopPlop 8 - BeigeAl 9 - 10 -

yep, working on it, should have the details on here by next weekend

i love the deep dish, they look cracking. i'm going to wait until the respray is done and then see if the 7.5 rs will fit, if not then it's going to be the mk2 starmags. thanks to everyone for their input

any pics? i love the superlites but simply could not bring myself to join the crowd, always been out on my own (first car was Brown Mk1 Astra)

the whole point is to be a bit different, if the new dished 7.5 rims do not fit I will not be putting on the boring flat faced rims, sorry i don't mean to offend those who like them but i would rather stick a fork in my eye than fit them to my escort, i don't see why they would not fit they are 13 mm wider than the 7s and have 12mm more negative offset and would still be running 185/60, arches are rolled. The only chance is them hitting the front strut but would hope they have been designed better than that. Has anyone tried to fit the 7.5s?

well it seems quite clear what you all like but for those who have looked close at the Hornet will know i'm not one to follow the crowd which is how it ended up on 15s after buying it on Revos, i do love the new 7.5 RS wheels but fear they will be every where by next summer. I need to take a trip to Midland Wheels to see them in the flesh but I'm still drawn to the Mk2 starmags but who knows, if the rs look as good as they do in the picture it will a tough choice.

it took a little modification and swapping to the orginal washer from the revo nuts but I used something like this, mine were grayson but can't find the model number. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Cosmic-Supa-Lock-Sleeve-Nuts-020%2f10G_W0QQitemZ370357674663QQcmdZViewItem?rvr_id=224978930091&rvr_id=224978930091&cguid=d805dc1c1260a0aad4a2d142fed9846f
