This is what happens when you leave it with the old man
Posted: Mon Mar 05, 2007 11:22 pmAfter the move to London I discover the safe and sound resting place for the escort isnt as safe and sound as I thought.
MSCA at sandown is the scene of the crime, My father is the culprit and his mate is the witness.
Fortunately no damage done, though a good engine blow up would have helped the cause as he'd have to pay (wink wink). Needless to say he's well impressed with the car bar it being about half the power it could handle, fair call there. (though he is comparing it to race sprites) He was impressed with the turn in and its willingness to power slide (thanks to the new LSD) was a little concerned with the pressure required on the brake pedal (though hes 60 nearly 61 so may be a little, how can I say this politely... weak) he didnt like the dive under brakes, though he didnt adjust the shocks at all which were set to soft but not sure how the shocks may affect dive. The anti dive is 50mm deep, perhaps it needs stiffer than 255 pound springs to help here?
It also passed its first scruitineering easily with only a dodgy earth for the brake lights needing attention due to the recent repaint of the boot.
Im happy he had fun, and that it went well, Im unhappy that Im not driving it. Now to find a safer place to store it????
Good one dad!
keep him behind you
dive under brakes
not a good number there dad
