Britcar drivers on Pistonheads

Just being nosey

Well, that's the top slot on the podium resolved, so it's 2nd or 3rd at best for us, great to be racing with you again, we'll try and keep your exhausts in view

Might try to be at Spa in the M3 or possibly the CC. The problem is it is the weekend after the 'ring 24 hour....

Rod, its not the exhausts you have to worry about, its the wheels bouncing off that are the danager ....

Simon, you tried your best at the show to convince me it is just a Granada in drag - but 47sec round BH Indy would suggest you need to convince me some more!

PS Jemco will be out in the Marcos for the whole season, including our 1st trip abroad, hooray!!

The Prosport is indeed a quick car, and the engine was from a scraped Granada, 100,000 miles apparently, but to my mind that's not a factor apart from a potential reliability issue, no, it's the low weight and brilliant handling, and without doubt the talented driver/s that will give the rest of us a hard time. having said that, we are better chasers then front runners, not that the latter has been tested

[Scuffers]

LOL!

you will all be please to here it still have the same old grandad engine in it! (don't have the heart to change it)

not bad for a £200 Ebay special....

I have done a few races in BMW M3s in various guises. Have partnered with Phil Bennett (P940KVP), Tim Mullen, Tony Rodriguez, Henk Thuis, Peter van der Kolk, Dom Evans (Taffyracer), Jason White, Alistair, and others.

Yes I do, we qualified 2nd for the last night race but a diff problem forced me off on the 3rd lap, luckily for the 2nd driver I started so it didn't cost him a penny, shame as we were both within a 10th of the class leaders and the car had more to come!

[quote=taffyracer]Not sure if I can call myself a Britcar racer, I drove straight into the gravel in my 1st outing [quote]

That's an interesting way to try to get someone to put up the cash to race with you...

Revised to reflect the more accurate picture! We all have off days and we make mistakes and we all have mechanical problems, especially when you stay in ther bar until 4am!
