Yes mate, took the RS down the A414, bumped into a couple of classics, got some nods of approval and then had the fortune to bump into a caged-up fire spitting classic mini, spotted in the distance popping, spraying fire and banging it’s way under a tunnel under the M1. I went through the gears to catch it and luckily the lights went red in a 2 line section of the dual-carriageway and we were able to line up, he was stopped and already at a good number of revs and I was just rolling up to a standstill, put her into 1st when the lights went green. I got the revs up quick as fook but unfortunately he had just got a slightly better start than me and we both raced through the gears, max’ing it and spraying rubber, road and exhaust dust in our wake, got to a bend in the road in 4th and we both had to back off slightly but I think he bottled it slightly more then pulled round behind me to turn right at the next set of lights. It probably finished with him v- slightly in front due to a better start but overall neck and neck. I don’t know what he had under his bonnet but mine’s a 2.2 Pinto with 197 dyno’d horses to it’s name so his was no slouch for sure. Gave him the thumbs-up and a nice little buzz to finish the day on……….

Took the Anglia out for a run. Been off road for a couple of weeks as I replaced the diff with a quaife unit. Pleased with the results, it feels quicker from standing start. Looking forward to getting it up the strip to see if it has improved.

I took it out on Sunday where some twunt in a van nearly took us out on a blind bend on our side, proper brown trouser moment. Took it to work today as the Passat isn't well then it rained . Decided I need more comfortable seats soon, getting old I guess .

blasted down the drive way to the garage.

I'm not running much BHP any more, so back up the drive to the house was a right slog.

Yeah, after work saturday i was gunna strip the front down and rub it down and prime it, but the sun was shining and all the bare metal was covered up, so i left it and went out for a 5 hour blast round the countryside Looking like this

 

 

 

Plenty of stares and thumbs up all day long. Even some guy who though his 89' Toyota was older than the escort Oh and went for a drive round Leamington with the other classic cars coming back from Race Retro, was rude not too
