What is the story with that, it looked like a bit of a weapon from the start line and round the first corner when I saw it run... didn't look to be stock  |

I could do if people are interested, it's been around a few years now so it's nothing new, still working on it all time tho making new stuff for it ( I try to make bits rather than buy) so I guess a thread would good be for some people, will sort one out

Ant how could you not do a build thread for that car?! We made sure to get some shots of it going up the hill, they'll be in a future issue of TV. |

Ok will try and sort something out, trouble is with 2 kids ( 3 yr old and 4 month old) I'm lucky if I get a couple of hours to work on the car a week let alone acouple of hours talking about it on computer !!!

That is one SERIOUS weapon. I had two of my rallying compadres with me watching you going up the hill, it takes a lot to impress a bloke who pilots a Talbot Sunbeam with a 260bhp XE in it, but he was absolutely gobsmacked by that Astra. Fantastic.
