windy Posted September 19, 2003 Posted September 19, 2003 Fantastic day at Silverstone today mixing with some of the worlds top drivers (Tiff, Alistair McQueen, Matthew Becker, Jason Plato, Justin Wilson, Penti Arikkala) in the annual Autocar Sideways Challenge. However to top it all I was asked by a representative from Ford if "I would like to offer my car to Marco Martin to drive" (after my own run) as he'd just pranged his car in to the armco in the pitlane rendering it useless for the rest of the day. Ask a stupid question Works Ford WRC driver in my car You Bet!!! Here's the piccy's Quote
windy Posted September 19, 2003 Author Posted September 19, 2003 Oh and not forgetting an added value signature to my car, "Driven by Marco Martin" rounding the day off nicely Windy P.S. Mr Davies. How much did you say my car was worth? Quote
gregh Posted September 19, 2003 Posted September 19, 2003 blimey, a yellow westie with a roof is it Windy Quote
Nick Algar - Competition Secretary Posted September 19, 2003 Posted September 19, 2003 So how did Marco do in it then Windy Quote
windy Posted September 19, 2003 Author Posted September 19, 2003 First run spun it! Second run perfect throttle steer all the way. I don't remember the car being straight once Quote
windy Posted September 19, 2003 Author Posted September 19, 2003 Ian Crocker has some pictures - where are they? Look out in Autocar next week in print. Quote
ian crocker Posted September 19, 2003 Posted September 19, 2003 I only got one of you in the car with Marko holding your nob I also captured his second run on video, but only using a digicam, not a camcorder. If you want to see a ropey video, right click here and 'save target as'. Don't try to stream it as it won't come down fast enough. It's 3MB. Ian Quote
