westy Posted June 17, 2002 Posted June 17, 2002 Just out of interest, did you see the times from the recent showdown at Curborough with the 300bhp Vx, 255bhp K, R500s, 340bhp BDx, etc. etc. Impressed the #### out of me. nope, where can I find them? Cheers. Quote
juansolo Posted June 17, 2002 Posted June 17, 2002 Impressive reasoned arguments. How much different would our disscussion have been if it'd been on Blatchat I wonder? Hmmmm. Should I/shouldn't I... Quote
Mike H Posted June 17, 2002 Posted June 17, 2002 Oh yes, an FW400 with an R500 engine. Now that would be interesting You've got a thing for carbon fibre haven't you? WSCC boardroom is much better than blatchat. It's frequented by a completely different type of car nut - those that know (from doing things themselves) rather than the majority on blatchat who just think they know. Most blachatters (it seems) openly admit to not knowing the difference between a left handed screwdriver and a right handed one. That's why it'll be Westfield every time for me. Arguing about the merits of each car is a different thing altogether and is best confined to blatchat. Mike Quote

gee_fin Posted June 17, 2002 Posted June 17, 2002 WSCC version - Go through the good points, bad points, merits, actual measurements/laptimes, personal experience, cost effectiveness etc. Blatchat version - It's better. It just is. Because. Sorted, end of thread. Quote
Bananaman Posted June 17, 2002 Posted June 17, 2002 Sorry to sound a bit thick but i'm new to this What/Where is Blatchat? And am i missing somthing here (sounds like not much) Quote
gee_fin Posted June 17, 2002 Posted June 17, 2002 Blatchat is the Lotus 7/c******m forum, full of balanced opinions, sensible advice and a complete lack of badge snobbery. Quote
ian crocker Posted June 17, 2002 Posted June 17, 2002 A comment I recently saw on Blatchat. "I paid £18,950 for my car and I get really annoyed when people confuse it with a kit car". Says it all really. And my favourite of all time: "People keep asking me if it has a V8 in it, then they laugh when I tell them it is a 1.8 Rover K series" Ian Quote

How did they compare with Guy Gibson's list 1A times ? I know Alex Wong was certainly very impressed with Guy's times quite recently. Guy was running about as quick as Alex did on list 1Bs. Ian Quote
gee_fin Posted June 17, 2002 Posted June 17, 2002 Richard Ince won in the R500, off the top of my head he did a 56s time, I'll check up on the times (as I can't remember where they are on Blatchat!. Dave Edmands (BDR700) had to pull out as his car was too much of a handful, Peter C (255bhp K) beat Arnie Webb (280bhp Vx). This is all Chinese Whispers and that, I'm awaiting the write-up in Low Flying. What times does Guy do on List 1A? Graeme. Quote
ian crocker Posted June 17, 2002 Posted June 17, 2002 What times does Guy do on List 1A? I don't know - that's why I'm asking! I know what times the c******ms did - 59s for Arnie, Peter and Alex. Ian Quote
