Get a Pro to scrub your tyres in ;-)

My Astra is getting fettled for an outing in December.....and its gonna have the last 2 stages in the dark, so the lamps are getting sorted :)

While it was down at Dave Keen's garage, being fettled, a certain Jonathon Wigmore had popped in to see him....and as a Super 1600 driver, with a Puma, he's a fair judge of a rally car ;)

So what did he think?

He liked it. Not sufficient power, as you'd imagine, but well impressed :) Stable, smooth, balanced....

although to be fair, he'd probably be able to drive most stuff well.

Anyone know what kinda of power the Super 1600 Puma churns out?

Over 250 bhp , revving to 9500 rpm.

Makes my 112 seem a tad lowly ;)

Onward...ever onward :)

thoguht you were getting something sorted? temp guage wasnt it?

Astra is all fettled now....new fuel pump (cheers Trig) and she;s ready.....trouble jhas been that me and Sair are buying a new house, so money's been short.

But I;ve saved a bit for one more event....in fact...there's two events in December....sorely tempted ;)

I've got half an XE in the back garden chap n a m8 of mines just had his GTE TBoned by some old bint so thats being stripped ;)

doh... and theres me reading the topic and thinking this would be about zak33 driving through a "nawty" part of town and getting his car cleaning :D

Love having a pro drive my mota.

Learnt a few interesting tips along the way too.

Did you get to go out with him Zak?.
:)

250bhp from a 1.6? :eek:

Nutters!

thats a conservative horsepower ....its likely to be higher.

No I didnt go with him...I was at work, 20 miles away :(

tbh.....I'd like to have met him, but hey ho :(
