@thornracing never thought I’d ever see a Transporter on the track, never mind one with a Golf R engine in it!

That's just awesome, brilliant, superb, fantastic
Would love to hear the full story behind it!It's usually the van in front of the trailer, not on it
Not sure if he’s on here, can’t remember what he said now lol.That's just awesome, brilliant, superb, fantastic

factory fitted 2ltr tsi turbo, bits done to it and putting out over 300bhp. Blistein coilovers, H&R anti roll bars and probably other bits I’ve forgot. The thing shifts on so well for its size and is hilarious to watch in the corners, stays unbelievably level for its size, probably flatter than the Mazda.
speaking of which I now want Anti Roll bars
Good day was had as usual. Im sure I the had the atom into the 60 secs today. Set Harry’s lap timer with a big passenger an had a 61.77. Can’t even remember if we had a Clear lap
Onboard Thanks to Steve

Brilliant to meet a few new lads from here
@acsmyth the Evo was an animal, thanks again for the fuel top up
I'll be bringing a tanker with me next time ffs
@althebass had a few laps where I was keeping up and impressed myself with how well the 328i can move.
Slicks from @evo98 made an insane difference from October on road tyres, I was doing roughly 1.15s going off the others doing similar and managed 1.10.1 today
All in all a brilliant days craic, shared the car with a mate and we managed 8 sessions between us before the brakes and passenger front got fed up with the abuse, car really took a beating.
Fresh oil and fluids will be going in this week as well as new pads andbraided lines

Hang on…wait, what!! More info required please
She was fairly capable! If a 1900kg van can handle Kirky then I may try and get my RS6 down too

Gavin's van was certainly the talk of the day. I think his best lap was 1.16 something and that's with his traction control coming on hard in every corner and bogging down his power. At the moment he's chatting about doing a few tweaks and bringing it back again! lol.

Just proves the point - it's not about lap times, it's about the biggest smile at the end of the day
