Did anyone go to spectate ? it was madness sheet ice for most of the day, was fun though

Ended our day by losing the front end and tw*tting one of those big cylinderical hay bales which bust the rad, grill and bumper :roll:

Thanks to the talented Gavin Higgins of GNW PHOTOGRAPHY (http://gnw-photography.net/) for the photo

I have only navagated the event once before in my dad's subaru and i enjoyed it, so aslong as i get the car sorted and some spotlights working i'll be happy lol

I'm just not too sure on tyre choice at the moment, given the weather lol

We tried some knobblies for Croft and they worked quite well in the slush and snow it was a bit like being on gravel but on sheet ice then if they aint studded forget about it

nice pics dude.

and why dont you run a normal bumper, pov spec as they are far easier to come by. and much cheaper lol.

or do you have to keep the shape of the car the same

I don't have any 14" knobblies as yet, i have some 15" snow/ice tyres but i haven't tried to fit them yet:confused: not too sure if they will work with the newsuspension as last tme they were trying to pull the inserts out on full bounce lol
