Hi
Went to autosport inters yesterday - not a bad show I thought - met up
with usual suspects Chris E, Bill, Revo Kev, Revo Doug, Davey J and
friends so good to have a chat.
Highlights included:
No doubt highlight of show - Khumo tyres that give red or blue smoke in
a burnout and get this....new product.....rosemary scented smoke - LMAO
Z-cars seem to go from strenth to strength, their lastest monte carlo
space frame 'mini' is awesome - available with bike engine or civic type r
lump
Gardener Douglas GTD40 - glorious lola T90 type car, big V8, fantastic
build quality
S1600 ford fiesta - rear end is a real piece of work, hubs especially,
adjustable in all dimensions
Hankook tyre company now sponsoring the VW cup - and these cars
going on slick tyres for 2006...should be interesting
Range of cool supercharger conversions by TTS - Civic type R for eg.
£3000, hp atw 160 to 300, torque atw 130 to 210 ftlb
Lumiweld - not sure if anyone on here has tried this (?) but ali welding
with a propane torch
Plato on Seat stand - new Leon WTC does look good
Close inspection of supercopa Leon - front track quite a bit wider than rear and front wings are totally fibreglass - and rear brakes are solid disks rather than std vented we guess to reduce brake performance on the rear - other interesting facts about the turbo's on these cars also but thats one for Bill.....
Guinness van, £2.80 a pint
Usual classy ladies on stands offering to sell you their panties.....
'Ave it
Rob

Shame Colin McRae could be there with his brother & dad. That would have been cool.
