1300 Sr Rally Car

[davidvsb]

Just in from my mates first test session in his 1300 nova sr rally car. It runs on twin 40s and puts out about 120 bhp ish which is pretty quick for a 1300. Our first event is next weekend on the isle of Mull in the Scottish Highlands. I am part of the service crew (there for mostly moral support and lifting things as I am useless at anything else) so will be there freezing my nads off next week. Managed to get a passenger ride on the test stage which resembled the surface of the moon, scary is not the word. Thought Id stick up a few picks if anyone is interested. Looking for a spare car at the moment so any help on that would be greatly appreciated.

Got just a wee bit muddy

This wee car is seriously hard core, after today there were about 5 or 6 golf ball sized dents on the floor pushing through to the inside with the huge rocks that were hitting the underside of it as it was sliding round 90 degree bends.

Cant wait till next week now and will get pics up next Monday if I make it back after the finishing party.
