windy Posted September 30, 2003 Author Posted September 30, 2003 Got Autocar today & it says there will be a sideways feature next week. Quote
guy g Posted September 30, 2003 Posted September 30, 2003 That must have been disappointing - I hope you didn't pay for it!! Quote
Jon Murray Posted October 7, 2003 Posted October 7, 2003 Nice feature in today's Autocar entitled "Markko and the Mk2" with good piccies of Graham's car and Markko at the wheel. Well done, a great story - one to tell the grandkids! Jon Quote
windy Posted October 7, 2003 Author Posted October 7, 2003 Here's a taster. Don't know how it'll come out on your screens though! Quote
windy Posted October 7, 2003 Author Posted October 7, 2003 Oh forgot to mention. That's me driving by the way . I can tell because there is no passenger & when Markko was driving I was sat next to him Quote
SteveD Posted October 7, 2003 Posted October 7, 2003 wendy its chuffin wet any muppet can drive sideways in the wet even you real driver's can do it in the dry and do not need to cheat by wetting the circuit Quote
windy Posted October 8, 2003 Author Posted October 8, 2003 Steve, Sounds like you are suggesting challenge for next year! Up for it in the Elan then? Perhaps you could get Colin Chapman to drive it for you Quote
SteveD Posted October 8, 2003 Posted October 8, 2003 never challenge me wendy go on then if its finished ! oh yes tried to contact mr chapman but it seems he has not been seen for years Quote
Keith Scarfe Posted October 9, 2003 Posted October 9, 2003 oh yes tried to contact mr chapman but it seems he has not been seen for years I am sure I saw him down the chip shop the other day.... Or was it Elvis? Quote
DickieB Posted October 9, 2003 Posted October 9, 2003 Steve When are you going to finish the Elan and do some "proper" motorsport? Dickie Quote
Ian Podmore Posted October 9, 2003 Posted October 9, 2003 Windy - How did you get on? Didn't see your name in the results And no mention of the fact the Ford Escort was powered by a Vx XE motor And when do you get a go in his Focus WRC Quote
windy Posted October 9, 2003 Author Posted October 9, 2003 Windy - How did you get on? Didn't see your name in the results I spun it at the first bend but there was no opportunity for practice and your first run was judged straight out. If I had known that you lost the points scored for each bend if you spun I might have taken it a bit easier. However if I'd had qualified for the next round then my car would't have been available for Markko to drive . Next year I'll have a proper go having done some practice on a wet track day beforehand perhaps. And no mention of the fact the Ford Escort was powered by a Vx XE motor Yes Thought I'd better keep that one quiet Markko is only allowed to be associated with the Ford name And when do you get a go in his Focus WRC Quote
SteveD Posted October 9, 2003 Posted October 9, 2003 dickie the elan is well on it's way ,been down to TTr today to pick up another 2 1/2 grand of bits arrrrr well wendy you A*** practice on a wet track you girl Quote
david.c Posted October 10, 2003 Posted October 10, 2003 as he'd just pranged his car in to the armco in the pitlane rendering it useless for the rest of the day. Didn't that make you a bit apprehensive Certainly looks like it was an entertaining day. David Quote
windy Posted September 9, 2004 Author Posted September 9, 2004 And when do you get a go in his Focus WRC Very soon - in Rheola Forest - wherever that is. Looking forward to it Just got the invite confirmed today, can't believe they'd not forgotten about my request. Will take my brown overalls just in case Anyone doing this years event by the way? It's being advertised in Autocar at the moment. Quote
