Hi Paddy.. welcome to the forum..

Deadly Saxo you've got yourself there.

Wrooum

well it was a bit noisy on sunday because the exhaust started blowing on the way down. all the lads on dtd were really impressed with the fto's!

Hey Paddy - Welcome to the FTO forum. That was a really good time you got out of the VTS - they are a quick little car.

Still think ye should have run the jeep on the 1/4 mile to even up the teams a little.

Welcome! My first car was a Saxo, 1.1 VT, fantastic car...

Looks like these guys just picked out a few fast cars that ran during the day and said "theres our times!" - I perhaps stupidly presumed you actually had to run in the team event to be eligible to compete - otherwise I'd have run earlier in the day when the class 2 cars were out.

It won't bug us too much - we were only really out there to promote the FTO Ireland Club - we weren't going to be challenging RX7's, and 450BHP + EVOs and Scoobys.

Hiya paddymc, was chattin to ya on the day. At least we didnt miss our runs with all the waiting around. Only saw one of your runs with my head (and helmet) out the car window while I was waiting to go again. Did ya hang around to see if you could get another run?
