Pedro..... If you can't get BT there, you're always welcome to tag along in the fridge mover, and if you're really nice to me, I'll let you have a bash in her, so you can judge the difference between full and stripped out...

ah nice one mate, sounds like a good second option to me. As i said in the old thread if i don't race i'd be interested in seeing if i could help knock your 1/4mile down a bit, even Brett & Team Vanarchy watch the film i record of there run & see what could be improved/what went wrong before they hit the strip again
after Brett blew up a friends Nissan 200SX at Santa Pod i've always been wary of racing anyone elses car, but its a bullet-proof Volvo & be nice to feel a bit more boost than what the devil powered S60 kicks out, so i'd probably take you up on it on the day. Thanks alot mate :daisy:

i've just gave Avon park a ring & let them know our intention to join in on the club day, i've gave them the forum name & website. The main man in charge of the day is out on another event so he's giving me a ring back Monday afternoon. Think we need to decide whether to keep the racing between our club or go up against the others racing on the day, i vote keep it between us
& i think i've got transport organised for BT so i should be racing, already got a back up plan incase i can't borrow the recovery truck for the day. Suppose i'd better start getting it bolted back together then

its no problem mate, i've spoke to people from both Santa Pod & Avon about things in the past away so knew they would be nice & helpful

i agree, keep it between ourselves seems the best bet to me. I'm not sure if we'll actually be racing together as a group tho. When my bro did the Jap racer series at Avon they just gave him a special race number & recorded his time when he ran, he was just thrown in with the public & allowed to run as many times as he wanted. After the event they emailed the times & standings to everyone

It'd be good to get over- the only problem I can see is that I may be starting work for a music college here in September (beginning of) so have to wait and see mate :(
Leave my poor lil car alone ;) I'm going to try really, really hard to make this box last a bit longer than the last one lol

I find it more interesting and more comparable when racing like for like as it were. That was 1 good thing about York. Only issue was we only did 4 runs in total as a group - which was far too few.
Anyway this has all the hallmarks of a classically good Volvo knees up. Too long I have felt that certain personality clashes and underlying politics have spoilt what is now becoming a really fine club again.

Sorry for being dense but where's the Avon Raceway?
Being from darkest Somerset, well it is when they turn the bloody lights out to save money, the only Avon Raceway I keep coming up with is some kart track in Avonmouth.
Is it the Long Marston Airfield one?
If so then the other half and I would like to put our names down.
We have to take our daughter back to Uni' in Huddersfield on the Saturday but if we work it right we could stop off on our way back down and say hello.
We hope that Christine will be back up and running by then, I had words with the gentleman who is supplying me with a gearbox today. He has promised it asap, so it should be in the car by September.
That will mean Mrs Porcine Aviator will be driving the 850 some people get all the luck.

Yes it's long marston porcin.
Also I have sorted it out with avon to have a 5 cyl class.

I'll be there subject to timings - I have to be at Stansted airport that day until 12 :(
Also subject to having the T4 mapped properly, or at least running sensibly on the map she's got at the moment.
Thus a Volvo class would be better than a 5-cyl class, if you follow me :D

Sorry for being dense but where's the Avon Raceway?
Being from darkest Somerset, well it is when they turn the bloody lights out to save money, the only Avon Raceway I keep coming up with is some kart track in Avonmouth.
Is it the Long Marston Airfield one?
If so then the other half and I would like to put our names down.
We have to take our daughter back to Uni' in Huddersfield on the Saturday but if we work it right we could stop off on our way back down and say hello.
We hope that Christine will be back up and running by then, I had words with the gentleman who is supplying me with a gearbox today. He has promised it asap, so it should be in the car by September.
That will mean Mrs Porcine Aviator will be driving the 850 some people get all the luck.
Thats cheered my mrs up(Gayle), another lady in an 850, she put in a 14.87 at york!!!, look forword to seeing you there.

if you break the 100mph the first time then they'll just watch out for you the rest of the event & make sure your wearing one

how did the audi fare? which 911 was it? 993, 996, 997?
have to admit, i'm tempted, may just turn up on the day.
anyone know what the surface is like compared to the pod?
996 Turbo, ~2003 in grey/silver. Nothing in it all the way really, off the mark the Audi was away quicker but he was definately changing gear after me so i guess they must rev to 8000rpm ish, mine is flat at 7250rpm. Either that or it doesnt rev as quick......but evenly matched imo.

You can see what it's like by clicking on dis bit (http://weather.msn.com/local.aspx?wealocations=wc:UKXX1549&q=Stratford-upon-Avon,+GBR)
Now I'm not saying this is dead right, because down here we are having rain Am and PM. So far the sun has been shining all day.

Hi Cameron, I'll let you know how it goes mate, the bloke with the V70 on ebay wouldn't answer me so i did a part search and universal salvage had one for £180, everyone else wanted £400+ for one.
Would like to of gone for the usual 19T but didn't want to change my downpipe, hopefully there's not much difference with the 18T.
As for the mrs, don't tell here how much it is, thats what i do. My house has just gone up for sale so we're supposed to be saving, if she knew how much i spend on the car i'd be single again.
Anyway take it easy buddy and get hunting for a 18T.
