LOL Yeah. Primera E GT's are stionking cars.

I was at a dealers yeterday (my client) & he was referring to an S reg Vectra as a banger! I'm not disagreeing but it is funny. The car was mint with low miles too.

[Dod]

And they are all car for **** all Cash!

I wanna buy a nice Tidy Vectra road car for daily use but I'm afraid cuz they're all eco******* powered.

Might try for a Derv though.

Did you know the Vectra BTCC cars had dual AP 6 pot calipers behind each fr wheel?

[Graeme]

Very entertaining, I'd love to see him try and drive a big block Nova in the wet like that, don't think he'd do quiet so well!!!:roll:

[Breeny]

Mansell was only in BTCC for one season I think?

IIRC he only dia few races, hoping between F1 and BTCC after senna died.

[Ash]

Immense driving, BTCC has never been the same. Shame. The number of times me and Dad used to be shouting at the TV during the race - was well exciting!

Still very tempted to buy a vec' and strip it, 19" white multi's and a pipe as an exhaust :cool:

[trackdaynova]

i must have watched that video hundreds of times, and i still can watch it over and over :thumb:

Same! Cant beat the 90's when it was actually 'saloon car racing' still!

[Lee]

Dont get me started on the travesty that was the end of the Supertourers :(

[Andy]

The best era i.m.o was when there was Rikard Rydell and Alain Menu battling for title (850 t5and laguna) Some awesome races from the era which spawned the estate BTCC versions remember them???

[craig green]

I remember the Volvo estates.

I just watched it again...

Just watched that the other week! EPIC :D

[Dod]

My God, I havent seen anything as exciting as that in years. Modern Touring cars arent worth a **** and the cars in these videos, they are fantastic.

[L14MNP]

Aye! Used to be the closest and most competitive from of motorsport around imo. Now it's a joke! Nevermind the cars, it's ITV4's ****ty tombola to decide grid positions and the safety police going OTT when they see a loose bumper or similar! Anyone remember the night race at Thruxton I believe? Only had one IIRC

[novacabrio]

Birminham super prix was the best race in BTCC shame all those health and safety, european things and probably osts got in the way

[Spudly]

Wow theyre funking ace true motorsport, i wanna paint me cav white now and slam her on her a$$ lmao!

My favourite touring car video is this :

[Dod]

Theres some fantastic driving in that Video, see how close they get to the Wall as well?

But you cant beat the good old Mondeo, Primera, Cavalier, E36, Lagunas smashing into each other and finishing the race with little or no straight Body Panels.

[nova23]

Classic vids, great to hear some xe's getting a thrashing.

[crazy_al]
