Went along to 'Alford Speedfest' on Sunday. It was a pretty good day with some lovely cars on display (McLaren P1, Bugatti EB110 and a Packard Bentley to name a few :D ). There were 'fast car passenger rides' early on, so I took some folk round the little oval. They seemed to quite enjoy it which made the day worth it immediately :)

 

I also took part in the 'pursuit' later on, where I was put against a 680bhp Corsa B. It runs 10.3 at 146mph so I was quite worried haha! The guy was struggling for traction and I was just (kinda) siding out of the corners so managed to 'beat' him in the end. It was all a bit of fun though and nothing serious :)

 

Here are a few pictures of the Supra that I've found from the day (I'll make a thread to show pics of the other cars in attendance) :

Here is a video from the race with the Corsa as well - bit of a twitch right at the start and again at 1:15! I was having a great time :lol:

nice one james, cant be having a corsa beat a supra :)

 

Definitely not :D Also had a run against a Lotus 2-Eleven. My god they are quick. On a wee track like that I had no chance at all! Did better than I expected right enough!

 

I forgot to post up a couple of the other pictures from a few weeks back too:

DO NOT fit a BGW!!!

 

:taped:

 

Going for a gamble and have bought an APR GTC-300 wing. As it uses the stock holes it'll be interchangeable with the OEM spoiler. :)

 

My intention is to set the car up a little different and have a go at taking it on the track. Going to strip out the rear etc. as well. Especially now that I don't have to use it as a daily :)

 

I imagine I'll probably keep the OEM spoiler on the majority of the time, but I'll have this daft wing on occasion! And hey, if I really dislike it, I'll just sell it :thumbs:

Well, the wing arrived at the start of the week, so I had the base plates painted 202 black as they were just bare fibreglass.

 

Got it fitted yesterday. It has received quite a lot of attention (mix of good and bad haha!) already. I like it! Though, the OEM wing is way classier and I prefer it. Nice to have both though, so I'll chop and change all the time as it is so easy to swap them around :)
