There are (only) two ASBOs, my red one is the original one and the the guy who designed and built them (Robin Davies) built another yellow one after selling the red one and wishing he hadn't (so legend goes). The yellow one now resides 'oop north' in the Manchester area. I will let the owner know about the pics and link him to this thread. I don't have a build project on it but they did cover some of it in Complete Kit Car mag a few times.

I am near enough 6 feet tall and a good 16+ stones even before I get my kit on and I can fit in so you would be ok unless you are a LOT bigger! If you see me again at Combe tap me up and you can have a sit in and see what it's like idea
aha this makes sense as the 'yellow' one has asbo 2 on the side of it from memory or at least it did when i saw it a couple of years ago.

im 6 foot 3/4 which has implications for fitting in some cars for me lol.
on a good day im around 14 stone, on a bad day/after cake 14.5 whistle

nice offer, thanks!
if i see you/it again i'll say hello, but i guess it will be next year's kit show now smile

i will break out my dslr next time though, i really wished i had it at various points yesterday but muddled on with my gopro thing (yet to sort the pics/lap parade vid) and camera on the phone frown

Correct, or it did but the guy has removed the side panels now as it is currently a track day only car.

The ASBOs are very roomy, you would have no trouble fitting in one Adam.

See you next year then! And as for GoPros, I am having a nightmare working out how to trim the vid I did today coming home from Combe and then get it onto Youtube. I am seriously pissed off that I can't figure it out furious Right now it seems like a pile of crap to me tbh. I will seek adivice though! And the sound quality is bloody awful too - sounds like it is recording in a packet of crisps!

If you upload the whole video to Youtube you can then trim it on there as the youtube software is a doddle to use smile

Thank you, in the end that is exactly what I did. Took a while but dead str8 forward. Now all I have to do is sort out the totally crap GoPro sound! I think maybe I will have to invest in a Hero 3 or 4 and use an extension microphone. The case on my Hero 1 is the issue as without it the sound is pretty good.

Here is the vid (not sure if I am allowed to post it here but here goes), best bit is just after 6 mins when I gently eat a nice little SLK and then about 8:15 to 9:00 with a nice triple ovetake biggrin

I was just having fun that day with a couple of overtakes, not caning it at all tbh
