ultima in horsted

[999gsi]

went flying past a house on the north walsham road at horsted,im sure there was a black ultima parked on the grass verge-was on a job so couldnt stop-does it belong to anyone on here????

[iluvmercs]

I know of one black one around here. If it had no rear spoiler, it is indeed, a local PHer.
Rich is his name IIRC, but I've only met the chap once. I can't remember his PH name, though

That will be Rich.f

He'll be well chuffed that someone has spotted him. I'll tell him so he can post a reply.

A pic of us at the Nurburgring

Indeedy, you need to sign up with the PH Roadshow and get it properly spotted next year! Bung me your e-mail addy if interested.

Hhmmmm... Rich F... you wouldn't have relatives in the butcher business by any chance?.....

Here you go then Rich

[markCSC]

Beautiful.

It looks soooo much nicer without the spoiler.

[Rich.f]

Yep relatives in the butchery buisness, well in it myself as well. Thanks Markcsc it is nice to have someone agree on the rear wing or not debate.

You know it needs the wing!!

[markCSC]

Does it actually "need" the spoiler? In other words does it become unstable in high speed corners and therefore needs the extra downforce?

This is a debate we have been having since Rich finished building the car!!

Looks over Performance???

Unless your name is "The Stig" then I would say you don't really need one. The back of the GTR is moulded to give some downforce as it is, although the old Sports model certainly did require a spoiler.

Says the man who built his with one on the back

^^^ Someone's been to Blakeney

How did you manage with such a wide & low car round the tight, bumpy roads up there, Rich?!

I deduce that gtr-gaz is The Stig.

...in the conserveatory with the lead piping...

It looks the Mutz Nutz

[Rich.f]

Tight bumpy roads = exelant fun (just ask the passenger). We done 2 trips to get the pics and both were great, there are a few straights on the way! Thanks Gary I certanly agree the rear wing is not required for down force and I certainly aint the stig. Although a pair of new tyres would help.

I think it was actually more a case of tight bumpy roads + trying to get to Blakeney before the sunset + ultima =

I can still remember the little kid jumpin up and down on the side of the road when we went past! It was even funnier when he did exactly the same thing the following day!

Oh and Rich, you'll want to put a wing on if we go back to the Ring in '09!!
