a combination of all those, to a certain degree, but most of the rake was because that is where we were braking to go into the 'bus-stop' section

TBH Im with Nav. Seeing the car drive past doesnt really show

a) how fast it is (especially as you're at a part where hes braking)
b) What a great job he did of the conversion.


p.s
Oh, and will all the PassionFord numpties go back please. We like this forum un-crap :wink:

Why?

Glenns car is very very well built. And driving past doesnt convey that. You can barely hear the V8 growl, so to all intents and purposes it could just be a 325 going past.

I hesitate to say that PassionFord is full of arses. Its not, theres probably 5-10 people on there who are IMO very cool people. Not just the big names. But some of the other users like to help people out. I include Chip
in that. I may not always agree with him, but hes still sound. And obviously Spiky who appears to be a good egg too. Another example might be Pon or Phil. (Ive never met any of them)

Basically it suffers a little for its popularity. And for being too heavily moderated.

Im currently banned (for the last 2 months now) but its no real loss to me, only thing is I cant read the PMs I get sent. :cry: :D

Blimey, lots of familiar faces here, very incestuous business the world of cars!

As to why im here, im probably putting together a bit of a budget turbo E30 as a nurburgring toy with a mate of mine, so i thought i would join the forum first to see what i could learn from it.
