PCD thats the one 
YEah, as you say, he wanted to do something, and basically threatened Dave saying either I want in, or i'll start a rival company. The market simply wasn't big enough for Vauxhalls back then.
Dave was a really nice bloke, jsut a bit geeky and stuck with a retarded slaggish missis. I think she worked her way to another "highly modified car" driver on another site, then he sold it, and she moved onto the next. DAmmmm i hated that girl. Mind you, I think most peopel from Dave/Andys gaff and area did Also I don't think Dave had the actaul business brain. Pete did have the brain for it, he was a very good businessman, but he cared too much about image and possessions and looking good opposed to making it work.
Wish I had the bottle to give up everything and try it for ourselves, but not now 
You cant actully map phase 3.5 can you as its just a replacement eprom with a few tweeks engine wise

WEll your halfway there....
And when your bored of the banana, you can fit it to the track car (F28 is all diffed up isn't it?) so it would help it get round a corner... Seriously though, save save save, its only a few more conversions to do

errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr ohhhhhhhh ummmmmmmmmmm errrrrrrrrrrrr :BIG embarrassed Smilie:
Robin, bumper isn't an issue, well, err, actually it is, but, its the slope angle, and the fact its curved so can't be "towed" up there in one go. Maybe in 5-6 attempts turing the car, but its a busy road at the top as well so gonna be a right b1tch.....

You can manouver a Corsa quite easily if there are enough of you about. We have to push mine all over the place at the moment because it is missing, well, everything.
