Like you did whilst I was having a pee a couple of years back?

No worries Phil, give us a nod and I'll post it over / get it to you somehow etc etc..

But, why on earth are not at Stratty? Last proper event of the year, you can't not be there!

Prompted by a brief exchange via PM with Vanny, I pondered:
I am surprised that nobody with a sorted 16v (or even 8v or Sport) has created a lookalike/wannabe BX4TC (homogolisation streetcar as opposed to the full blown gp. B). I'd love to do one. With all the lighting along the front, suitable paint job, an additional rear spoiler (although that could be too much!), a suite of 1986 gp. B-esque graphics, white multi-spoke 15" alloys, a couple of extra dials on the dash and a functional black interior and so on. Ideally a none sunroof car, but even then white half-tone film over the glass would help....

Or would it really be too cheesy?


What do you lot think?

Food for thought...

It's on the race course Phil, in the middle.

You know the actual race car interior/ dash looked nothing like that? Its a true bodge it together in a hurry dash on the works car, looks horrendous.

Here's a shot I took of the cockpit of a BX4TC road car that was at Lurcy-Levis in 2008.

It's geographical and physical. I can't be in two different places* at the same time. Next time, hopefully :cry:

*I am supposed to be in Brighton that weekend (Speed Trials etc.)
