What's the practical under a grand thing then?

practical classic car magazine has a £999 performance shoot out / day sort of thing every year , it includes handling , drag and i think a bit of a track , they post up the results and pics every year ,

ive done 2 benidorm or bust runs in volvos , the last time i left it down there and now the people who run/organise cartegena race track use it for promos and racing ,doing it again this year but im going as part of the management and have been given a rover 620 to coax down there

this is one of the vans that went down last year

£999 performance shootout? sweet! Mine was free and I don't think I've blown a grand on what you'd consider "performance" modifications

[spikey50]

practical performance car , sorry , just pick up any months copy and it will be in there.
cant remember what month but I think its about april

[spikey50]

but deff my favourite is the Benidorm or bust I go on every year , set off Wednesday from blackpool end up in Benidorm sat , then this year we have cartegena race track sunday afternoon , just look it up on facebook or google benidormorbust

I was going to do it a few years ago, but our Volvos wouldn't have a chance.

not down the nationals you cant, it took me 24 hours from torrevieja to milton keynes

[stribo]

I didn't use the nationals, I used the autoroute/autovias.

[spikey50]

we do it in 4 days to include a bit of drinking time , this year its dover, poitiours , Zaragoza then Benidorm , sunday race track ,
I use to have a house nearer Murcia and after 20yrs of driving the lorry there and back I think I know the way now

didn't Scooby's win the last 2 ppc £999 challenges? last year definately was.

[spikey50]

thought it was a mr2 won last year

i use the nationals so i can spend more on my holiday than tolls

[spikey50]

maybe needs slight adjustment
