Ford Vs Rover

scooby-slayer · Post by **scooby-slayer** » Sat Dec 03, 2005 8:41 pm

I am friends with a few :twisted:

Psycho's that are part of the Oddkidd Creations group of Ford RS's...

We're thinking of a Meet with the Rovertech (you) guys to have a few line-ups... Obviously this is Very early thinking and a bit of planning is due to come into place, but I was wondering if we can get a location or Strip for the Day, how many of you would be willing to meet up and wave the MG-R banner againt the "Dukes of Essex"

lol?

Joe.

Due to weather ect, would it be better if we did it later in the year or dont you mind?

r44flyer · Post by **r44flyer** » Sat Dec 03, 2005 9:03 pm

I'm interested, should be good fun. Cold weather might be good for performance, but if it's lashing down it's not gonna be much fun.

But I vote for Elvington either way.

Thats a Hell of a Drive for the Essex lads...

like it or lump it. Essex is too east for pretty much everyone. a central even will be more beneficial to everyone.

Yeh I know mate, I was just saying Yorkshire woud be too far for them also..

So yes, central would be ideal.

Make a list then guys...

Raistlin · Post by **Raistlin** » Sat Dec 03, 2005 10:22 pm

Could be interested in this. My little Ti will be in need a shakedown to see how it performs.

Not into the realms of the fords though

What kind of kit are the RS boys running, models/power plants?

Could be like putting your hand into the jaws of an alligator.

Indeed matey...

Not many of them are less than 200bhp...

90% are Escort RS Turbo's, doubt anyone will take a Cossie tho, maybe 1 or 2 (Sapphires)..

ves23_vessey · Post by **ves23_vessey** » Sat Dec 03, 2005 10:31 pm

More central would be better but its gonna be a long drive for some and not for others...

scooby-slayer · Post by **scooby-slayer** » Sat Dec 03, 2005 10:33 pm

Where would be just north of the Midlands then?

ves23_vessey · Post by **ves23_vessey** » Sat Dec 03, 2005 10:35 pm

Can we get a track day or something sorted at donnington or anything...

Track days are more fun than straight lines

(some may not agree)

r44flyer voted elvington that would be fun aswell...

i know of jano oddkid...got a couple of series 1 rs turbos (one black, one white) with cossie EFI management..pectel etc.. he doesnt go over the top just enough to get 200-220 ish bhp and 0 -60 in 6 secs territory.. he's clever but not flash..

scooby-slayer · Post by **scooby-slayer** » Sat Dec 03, 2005 11:00 pm

Clever is an understatement..

If you know his mates (Steve, Gaz, Aaron and Taz ect) then you'll know it'll be a good match-up... Infact Gareth's RS is on the front page of Fast Ford next month with his Red ZVH Turbo, class..

personally he does everything within a certain budget but gets results..
dont underestimate the rover boys,...with the right cars.. ie a few that
were at the southern rolling rd day.. and a few that were'nt...
they could embarrass the RS turbo's... even with ZVH's..
and the rovers are better looking..

Cossies we dont have the traction to cope tho...
If we cross the essex border ..
do we have to shave our heads to blend in ??

scooby-slayer · Post by **scooby-slayer** » Sat Dec 03, 2005 11:38 pm

Yes, lol.. (look at Jano for Dress code lol) Burberry caps will be supplied on entrnce...

You should know not to underestimate RS's too bud, sum of these guys live for their engines... Sum proppa beasts! I think the lowest figure from the Oddkidd crew is a girl called jenna (hottie) thats runnin 230bhp...

your asking me not to underestimate the RS crew then throw at me a GIRL
will be driving.. behave yourself..( i could be in trouble for saying that)

some of our boys are reliably running bhp in the late 200's..
i hope your AA membership is up to date..
im not tho so i'll shut up now..

scooby-slayer · Post by **scooby-slayer** » Sun Dec 04, 2005 12:14 am

Lol, Im saying she's probably the least powerful.. Another girl of ours (Also the chairlady of the Essex RS club) is running a Sapphire Cossie.

Should be a fun one.. :twisted:

Essex would be fine with me....

Ross9 · Post by **Ross9** » Sun Dec 04, 2005 2:01 am

Depending on location I'd be up for this.

Not going to trail my donkey boy all the way from Scotland to southern england though, Elvington sounds ideal, nice and central with the entire UK in mind.

I will be interested in this as long as my car is on the road at the time,if its at Elvington think i will borrow a trailer to come up takes over 5 hours to get up there from here,plus ive only got a 1.5 gallon tank at the mo in the car

Squaddiemodo · Post by **Squaddiemodo** » Sun Dec 04, 2005 12:41 pm

depending on time and date, i will prolly show up to fly the flag for the V6s

Sounds an interesting little day as long as there's no childish rivalry. :wink:

I might have a little run if i did come along but i wouldnt really call my car devestating in a straight line.

vi turbo · Post by **vi turbo** » Sun Dec 04, 2005 6:23 pm

again it depends when it will all happen but if mine is all done and mapped i might turn up

I actually bought that edition of "Revs" too!

That was back when most car mags (except Wanx Power) weren't packed with nearly (or completely) nude mingers for extra chav appeal.
