bakewell Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 Hello. Some of you may have read my post "Other hobbies" well i told you i co-drive in the car pictured. Well i am racing it the weekend at a two day event in Ross-on-wye. The Drive is going to some wedding. Its not my car so i am racing it on the lines off if i break it i pay for it. Its running 5.7litre V8 engine so i am going to have a lot of power under my right foot. Wish me luck people. Plus if i do not break any thing and the funds in the bank are good i will hopefully be getting a GU 07 frame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bakewell Posted August 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 Yeah Boss is right head gasket and also bottom end has a rattle now, but it wasn't my fault owner says it has been getting worst. I was just unlucky I was in it at the time. I did really well on the two laps I did. Over took one car on the first lap, crack his wind screen on the way pass.
