My fugging good god!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Im still giggling and laughing my head off at what happened today.Jeeeeeezus- how fast is Rich's car????????

Ive never been in a BEC before but i bet not many are that quick. Even the copper on the M1 roundabout was impressed Thanks for letting me drive it Rich. Im still buzzing. Didnt think it would be so easy to drive. Deffo a great engine that ZX10. Words fail me.

I cant say im converted to the dark side faith of BEC but i can see the attraction. For pure performance they take some beating I just need to get my ears repaired now

the sight of you in your goggles grinning like a cheshire cat and laughing like a hyena whilst driving past me will stick in my mind for a long time. Glad you enjoyed it mate.

I wouldnt dare look back - struggled to focus looking forward whilst my cheeks were getting slapped around the rear rol bar and surges of adrenalin were making speech impossible - all i could muster was a hyena like cackling laugh.......... for hours


Had a great time driving it Rich.

You werent joking when you said you were permanently glued to the PC at home were you???

AAAHHH new there was something. would have needed a very wide angle lense to get all off Darrens grin in LOL

I still cant get over that Nice Policeman. What a star, such a nice bloke too. I dont think anyone believed us when we got back Mind you i must say for those who are trying to decipher the cryptics - Rich didnt do anything wrong.

He also saw 2 different people driving the same car.......

Its going to be an awesome car when you get the ever so minor snags sorted out. I was pleasantly surprised at how quiet it was as we considering the banshees were screaming to be let out.

Pleased you said grin and not Chin!!!!




Round 2 of the nice day was when Mark drove my car back to his place - bugger he was quick. Nice to know the car handles far better than me!! Ive had to put my keks in the wash as soon as i got home!! He has suggested some stronger springs and quick rack would make it a tad better. It was great to have someone put the car through its paces. Wish it was a longer drive now.

Anyone know what my springs will be? Standard ZR i think. I might think about some protech shox at the front if im going to change them (bit lighter). How much for front pair of protechs, stiffer springs and quick rack?
After that i need to learn how to drive faster.

would guess at 350 fronts and 175 rears. and would deffo agree with the quick rack it makes a big difference, proper go kart steering response but not instability.
