After a shed load of work I finally have more time to spare on the forums again :)

Spent the last few weeks setting up the CRX for a FWD shootout :D
And the last 2 weeks organising the repair of my 300SL :(

Some idiot drove into the N/S and disappeared leaving us to pick up the tab :( It has taken out the 1/4 / door / and front wing as well as the mirror. damage is about £4K and I'm pretty gutted.

Insurance is going to cover the keying on the LHS and we are getting it all colour coded too - so it will be all sweet again in time for the summer meets :D

for those that are interested - the CRX was the fastest 0-60 fwd car in the country last week at Redline magazines invitation only FWD shootout!

It beat a load of high power machinery for a single victory in the 0-60 catagory and finished well up in the other 3 catagories with 2 3rds and a 5th

CRX results
0-60 5.1 seconds - best of the day and really chuffed
0-100 10.9 sec
1/4 mile 13.44 @112.27 :D
top speed was 143 - only run low boost for top speed runs!


Magazine out in 2 months

Hi Mark. Welcome back.

Sorry to hear of the damage to the SL but at least it's fixable.

Nice times on the shootout...well done! :devil:
 
Shame to hear about the SL Mark, hope it's back to its usual pristine standard soon.

Interested to see the shootout detail, sounds like the CRX is 'on it' at the mo! Were any Golfs there.....? I'm a regular on UK-MkIVs.net now and some of the guys have very serious motors - 360bhp GTis - www.mrkiv.com if you're interested?

Hi Mark,

Welcome back. Gutted to hear about the car. Mindless idiots.
 
Assesor came today to look at the SL and gave it the all clear for repair :D

So the mindless keying is getting done at the same time as the colourcoding - give it a few weeks and we will have it back A1 again!

New CRX arrives in the next 2 weeks and the engine is beign built as we speak - 500hp here I come!

Nice to be able to spend the time catching up though !
