Sprint - Mixed Emotions

[njw 77]

Tore open my Sprint tonight and read it from cover to cover. Read the Austec Santa Pod day article with interest, looked at the pictures and there was a picture of my cerb sitting on the start line ready for the off (just before the drive shaft went bang). Same page there's another picture of my car, this time being loaded onto Austec's recovery truck

How many cameras came out at that moment? Bloody loads! The vultures circling and the hyenas laughing . Bar stewards.

Oh well, at least I made it in there twice

Anyone else got their Sprint?

Mine arrived last week. I'm sure the Pistonheads doom mongers will attach themselves to this thread like the bloody leeches they are. I for one hope your car will be back in working order soon!

The same write-up did Mention my Cerb against the 1000 BHP Toyota. It failed to mention I beat him off the line We all get our 15 minutes of fame!

Back of the net!

Your claim to fame eh..

Is it just me - but can we have the full results sheet printed for the TVR Race championship - all times, fastest laps - it ios just a scan job. Sprints maybe to but that is just some simple numbers and names easy - more detail on every article - apart from these ones that are just glorified Advertisement for some dealer.

Nick - I noticed you had two pictures but didn't spot that one was the car going onto Austec's truck so thanks for pointing that out.

Read my Sprint too, but why couldn't they have printed a photo of a fine looking women instead of the guy to do with alarms, who seems posing as a male model?
Are there any female alarm experts around me wonders?

Is he fit, if so, I can't see the problem with this?!

You haven't got a copy then? Depends on your view point - there must be someone out there that thinks so I guess.

I enjoyed the santa pod report too .. sadly they failed to put that, whilst it was an austec organised day, track car solutions had the two fastest tuned cars there

Wasn't there talk of a prize for the fastest car on the day? .. we never got it ...

Nice lot of pics though, should really have had a sticker on the back of cyclone's car .. great pic of the launchmeister on the startline

There was talk of prizes for fastest of each model, so you should have got the prize for the Cerb category, (Nick let the side down ) I think Austec won all the others though Griff, Chim, Tamora, S, Tusc?? could be wrong!

I know they planned to give prizes, maybe it became a bit of a nightmare to sort out on the day?

Would be better on the TVRCC website as a suggestion Jon
