Bad news I'm afraid, my car isn't going to be ready in time, I blew my turbo up a couple of weeks ago and been waiting for a new one which hasn't arrived in time, I was hoping for it to turn up today but didn't show, gutted. Is there anyone else who wants to take my place?

 

Sorry to here that Paul, know the feeling, and my fresh engine has less the 100 miles on it, none in anger, so we are really risking all! As for a replacement, no it's too late, think the organisers needed to know last week at the latest.

Shame you left it so late to reveal this, it's a lost place for the club (and other clubs with paid reserves) now as it's too late for anyone else to take it, a week ago things would have been different.

 

Didn't you cost the club a place last year as well?

No I bloody didn't, I entered under my own name last year, nothing to do with the club and I was ill that night so didn't end up going, car was on the trailer loaded up with race fuel, drag suspension/tyres, spent all week preparing for it, so not really no. Whats it got to do with you anyway?

 

This year, I've been trying to get this new turbo in time and it just hasn't happened in time, things like this dont happen over night, not my fault my turbo decided to pack up just before an event is it now? I did have a back up plan to use the T88 Supra I've got for sale but I've only just got the gearbox back in it today and I haven't checked any of the fuelling/setup yet.

Not sure why I'm having to justify myself anyway.

May be your still peeved about losing out on the Bilsteins last year? Not sure.

 

Anyway I'm pissed off about it so I dont need you giving me a hard time, got it.

Paul are you absolutely sure no one has a turbo suitable?

It would be a real shame if you didn't go...but I realise it would be a miricle if you could.

I'm sure any of the traders out there would swap you if they have what you need.

 

All the clubs have their problematic cars...it's the nature of tuning. At least Leon will be there to make up for the lack of the Dude...

Nightmare Paul... you did sound down heartened when we spoke through the week.

 

I can lend you a T67 if you want! Might not be big enough for you though ;)

 

Gaz.

 

Yeah, pretty peeved mate.

I was using a GT67 anyway, I dont use a huge turbo on mine, going up to a GT72 this time just for good measure!

No time mate, I was banking on my new turbo arriving middle of this week, then get the map sorted, etc. Just bad timing really as my car has never broken/blown up ever, first time for anything I suppose!

Yep, heard Leon is sorted this year, should do the business with any luck.
