Q:

Cracking write up G!
A:

Reading & enjoying
Also busy completing editing some video nuggets from my slightly 'alternative report' - will pull it out ofthe main thread when done.
A:

A very good weekend deserved an epic write up
A:

Found this link to the guy's site who we were chatting to with the VLN mk2 Golf @ the 'ring
Back to the car park, SteveR has a bunch of British Golf fans checking out his mk2 - He's (And his Dad!) made a top job of a neat stripped 16v track car with it's recent Megasquirt ECU set up, AW tracksport dash and loads of other toys.
Of course I can't go anywhere without someone asking if I'm 'gvk' and do I have a black mk2 track car , black wheels.. yes that's me.
These guys have taken it to another level though and race a 194bhp mk2 16v in the VLN endurance races at the 'ring , we have a good old chat about techie stuff with them.. Very interesting,they removed the throttle bodies...

A:

Interesting about the race licences < whistle >
A:

In the vid is Bruce 'I drive the 'ring for a living' the same Bruce matey with monza blue Mk2?
Like that difuser idea...........
A:


You know what,I think that might be one and the same Bruce...
I couldn't spot a cigar tho
< puts up headrest >
Colin is the bloke who I recognised/recognised me from UK trackdays.
Note : nothing fancy in the front brake dept.. and they race this car on the 'ring !
