If you have any of the 200sx or rover 400 with the big smileys, that would have been us and copies would be REALLY appreciated!
Thanks.

Yep that was me. Should have left it in the boot with hiensight, but I had visions of buckets of water being poured into it!!
Luckily for me they are cheap as chips with all the 200's being broken.
You chaps in the 200Sx and the Rover - much much fun ! I was in the silver skyline and I have to say that Rover was hilarious - AND it was the only thing that tried to stay with us ALL DAY - much respect! Mind you at the speeds we got too - I noticed that it was wobbling about a bit (understatement ) so careful with it lads , you need to uprate the springs NEXT ! URGENT ! pluss I hopoe you've done the brakes ?
Whilst thinking about it - I did notice you were tyring to film me , and chance of sharing it , did we do flames ?
Otherwise - keep up the good work , I'm still laughing from that ! Most so called fast cars dont want to play , and turn their noses up at my car - their loss !

I dont think we got any footage of you, I think it was a photo which came out rather blurred and crap. Ill dig it out for you soon anyway...
As for the rover, its running Koni adjustables and uprated brakes as well, so it should be pretty well sorted. It handles ten times better than the standard, and if you think thats bad, you should have been in my 200!!!

The Rover is me
Thanks for the kind comments & respect!! It was an awesome drive down, great to let the car stretch its legs properly. As Chris says, it's running top adjustable Koni yellows with race spec springs, brakes are a hybrid of 600Ti calipers and MG ZS 180 discs and work very well. OE ones are made of a hybrid of cheese and chocolate 
Know what you mean about the 'superior' cars not wanting to play, but lots of people did want to. There was a Fezza who couldn't shake me, can't imagine he was fully trying but we did reach around 1.5 leptons and he didn't pull away so maybe he was?!
It was this one:
This chap was a little surprised too
Glad you liked the car, have to say your 'Liner is a freakin monster though!!

In a couple of your pictures near the top looks as if it was martin short (Owner of rollcentre racing) driving his Mosler 900 down!

Ahh Chris, I didn't put 2 and 2 together and realise that the Spank It Rover had anything to do with you...
I was in convoy with Samurikid, the A Team van etc.
I had the Rover up alongside me at one point just outside Calais, did you not see the Tyresmoke branded S3?
Inigo
edit: I see you snapped our charger though

Yo - the Rover is me/mine
The A Team Van was excellent, caused a lot of "wowww!!!" etc in my car! Very impressive indeed ///m-power said:

As above - the Rover is mine, Chris has the 200SX which had the same stickers as my Rover. Were you the chap in the Batmobile Elise? To be honest I don't remember you trying to keep with me that morning on the way to Arnarge, sorry! Did see you at Hoon Annexe that night though, fantastic sticker job
