    Default Retro Show report . .

    What a day we had as most of you gheys were at billing weather was ace and loads of funky retro motors about saw austins loon but didnt ge to speak to him and a blue xe i think and a red mk2 with a black intercooler? I took the v6 up the strip with standard firestone tyres and 32psi and did 6 runs 4 at 14.5 and 1 14.6 and a 14.8 then had a little chat with Mr D dixon who advised me to drop my tyres pressures to 20psi and do a little burnout and on my next run i ran 14.2, so next is some 888s and some coilovers and maybe hit the 13s!! Ill upload a video in a minute

    Saw your car queuing up and saw one of your 14.5 runs, looked awsome, and what a show, the standard of cars was excellent, cant beat a set of tb'd Mk1 or 2 escorts hooning down the strip There were also a couple of novas parked were me and my mates were parked (next to show and shine) one was a red let merit looking one, and the other was (arden?) blue gsi style rep
