Budget drivers cars motoring but big on thrills and grins. It doesnt take me long to find a beautiful & original 1.9 for silly money.


"2002" The Year In Pictures movie added 24th January 2003

A huge 4.5 minute movie of last year .. all the best bits of trackside and in-car action with lots of fast editing and eye candy. A lot more advanced than the Sussex Blat movie, i'm hoping it will prove even more popular.

Lancer Evolution VII page added 24th October

Somehow I always knew I'd come back. Getting to grips with my brand new EVOVII, I make a detailed comparison with the preceeding VI model.

Whats the true cost of a trackday ... including absolutely everything. Not for the squeamish !

Esprit S4 pop video ! page added 27th August

Carefully recovered and reconstructed from a perished VHS videotape from summer 1995. I have done a small amount of re-editing, added new music and sped the pace up of this old movie of mine. See the old Azure S4 in action around the lanes of Surrey.. in car shots, bullet cam and roadside footage ....

Police, Camera, Jackal  page added 26h August

December 1993, the 215bhp BBR Elan SE heads off on a crisp Sunday morning. A black unmarked police car containing an old acquaintance spies me pulling some unecessary and excessive G-force through a roundabout ! Download the VASCAR movie and hear the strange incessant banter from two of her majesty's finest....

Spa Francorchamps  trackday added 2nd August

Open Pitlane at Spa with Wheeltorque. Lots of heavyweight machinery, plenty of full blown race cars - the best circuit in the world ! Lots of movies including race GT2 action, more FFord laps, insect tragedies, lock-ups and gearchanges halfway through Eau Rouge !


WEB SIGHTINGS & BBS GEM

Seat Leon 20VT  thoughts added 2nd August

I owned one for 3.5 months and rather liked it. The Cupra R is now out and at 210bhp, better suspension, brakes and styling it looks a huge bargain at 17K.
