Wish I could have taken my rover along as it sounds like a boy racers car at the moment with a blowing exhaust!! :lol: would have fitted in nicely next to the drag car, sound wise that is

:lol: if that happens, it needs to be videoed and put on Youtube!

I did hear a tale about a muddy 90 turning up at a "cruise" and baiting a particularly mouthy chav into a drag race. As the 90 had a 3.9 V8 under the bonnet I think you can guess how it went :lol:

Well we need to go embarese some lesser mortal's!!! :lol:

Disco Matt · « **Reply #22 on:** February 17, 2008, 21:54:18 »

I just have this vision of a pile of hilifts, waffles, shackles, ammo boxes and tow straps next to the start line where people have done some last-minute weight reduction! :lol:

I wouldn't mind taking the LSE down the strip once or twice, just to see....

How much does it cost?

it varys per event, sumtimes its only Â£10 for unlimited amount of runs, then it will go up to Â£15 for 3 runs, then the gate fee as well

Not really, even in a 90 the 3.9's 195bhp isnt great. with it being a bit tired probably you might be looking about 100bhp/ton and its super easy to better that with any chav car just by doing simple stuff.

I don't think this can have been entirely standard then - it left the chav standing! :lol:
