Went down yesterday with ilovevolvo in his monsterous T5R. Had a fantastic day out as usual. Loads of nice metal there...old, new and very unusual!! Unforatunately, I only had my phone with me so no photos worth posting, but did take a few videos of the Yellow Peril!
The drive there alone was great fun! The car pulls like a rocket ship, sticks to the road like s*!t to a blanket and makes some pretty nice noises. It seemed rude not to flick on the anti-lag in the Lewes tunnel!!

The 1st run was a practice run. He had a lot of wheel spin of the line but once it gripped it flew!!

This was the 1st timed run, but unfortunately after a reasonable get away, he suffered quite a bit of clutch slip! Russ knew the clutch was iffy so it was kind of expected. The big black Dodge parked up in the shot there has just spat it's rear diff out on launch...NOT a nice sound!!
