Car going in Magazine

Post Wed Mar 01, 2006 11:25 pm

Kent Lifestyle magazine are borrowing my Touring as a feature car to jazz up their motoring section.

They are taking it round Brands Hatch tommorrow.

I think its great they are choosing an E30 to do this with!

Sounds interesting. How did that come about?

Kent Life magazine are working with Brands hatch to get people to bring their cars to the track and at the same time make thier mag alot more interesting.

I went to brands today to give them the car so they could cane it round the track.

The editor was a very good driver and was extremely impressed with the handling of the car - very neutral. It was very different from when it went to brands hatch and htis is soley down to the tyres which are now Pirelli P6000's.

I was very impressed!

Car performed really really well too with the new Cam and other bits Ive done.

Alot of pictures were taken and shall be going in very soon. Im trying them to mention E30ZOne too.

I'll post up the pics as soon as the photographer sends them to me.

Nice one about the mag feature

Thats wierd as i find p6000 tyres naf, but eagle f1's good, the complete opposite to you

My p6000's are fairly old and close to boarderline but I still don't rate them brand new. But if it works for you

Post Thu Mar 02, 2006 7:06 pm

Ant said p6000's were crap aswell! Maybe it wil grip even more with better tyres.

The Eagle F1's were not on this car and also on 16" wheels.

So the P6000 debate is started again :lol:

Good to get it in the Mag Sal

Sal you told me that the Bridgestones were excellent and are very very good. Now your saying they are not as good as P6000 but we all know that P6000's are rubbish, so what is it?

Any feature is a good feature in my book, always nice to see your car in print:D

What's the debate? I can get the back end out in the dry in a cab with 112bhp which is heavy as a house. Therefore P6000s are crap

Congrats on the feature Sal, hope they get E30Zone mentioned in there
