Karting as a (IMHO very) viable alternative to a Boards.ir motor forum showdown - why is always the fair sex that comes up with such gems? You made us look bad, there AlisonB (though perhaps that merely echoes what your sig' pre-supposes ).

Sure we'll see what the level of interest is anyway. might run a league over 6 months or something...never mind the signature- i was hormonal ..

Karting by its very nature, gives an unfair advantage to tiny little runts (who weight about the equivalent of an empty crisp packet) while being whizzed around by little more than a lawnmowers engine. Who proposed this race anyhow, what's it got to do with car-mods? what about a 'whos got the comfiest seats or best cup-holders' contest instead ? can we try to stay on topic here please

apologies for staying off topic..

bit of a longer track.. little bit more than lawn mower engines, have found that a bit of weight here is actually a useful thing, seems you can take the larger turns at higher speeds

Been to that track about 10 times, its deadly (and the roads leading down to it).. think I broke the lap record about 6-years ago on the smaller track, I'll pretend I did anyhow.. ok who's going then ? AlisonB.. what'll you be wearing.. :cool:

edmund_f · 02-03-2005 4:41pm

i would imagine those lovely boiler suits they supply you with..

personally still trying to break the 1m barrier..

528i · 02-03-2005 4:45pm

1metre, jez you must be a fat b@stard ?

edmund_f · 02-03-2005 4:49pm

sorry 1 min (not 1 meter).. but yes.. useful for top turn onto back straight...

Edmund_f, just a quick one - ole 528i here has been trolling worse 'n fish trawler trawling for trolls for a while now :rolleyes:

edmund_f · 02-03-2005 5:01pm

would say i would hate to mislead the easily confused but people may take offence?

edmund_f · 02-03-2005 5:02pm

You're probably right - but sure i'll put the kettle on you can make the tea.

No, you must have mistaken me for one of those 'meet u half way' kinda pussies.. if you're gonna start acting up now ya can just stay at'ome altogether. (and I'll let you know if the machine had an attitude problem or gave out any oul guff), jez, you'd swear it was an ordeal or something.

he was trying to assert his manhood....

but as he does not know what that is...

he got a bit lost at the end..

all together now.. 'Awwwww'

The main problem with the Fq400 is that off-boost it's a bastard to drive but the turbo spools around 3.2k I think and if it's under load say 40mph in fifth it just won't boost. Tried it a few times with my one - don't have that problem.

Are you doing any Trackdays in the M this year 528 ?
