Autosport Show NEC

Post by SteLowis »

Couldnt think of anywhere else to put it so thought i would post it in here.
Went to the autosport show on Saturday. Really good day out. Long day setting off 5.30 and not getting back in till 9.30. Cavalier never missed a beat althought the usual eml coming on and going off. But think this is a common problem on all lets lol.

Spent the most time around the cavaliers as you can tell by the pics. Loved them, awsum bits of kit. Jeff Allams car being on the kent cams stand, although as Deek rightly spotted out the bumper and kit is wrong for the year. Clelands car being the one that Cleland himself bumped at Goodwood in 2008 i think but has been repaired and used in anger at the up and coming historic touring car championship. I forgot to add I think looking at the inside Jeff Allams was a turbo shell. Had more of a bump for transfer box. Couldnt really make this out on clelands car. Jeff Allams being a 1994 car and clelands being a 'sri' 1995. Please correct me if im wrong lads.

Nice photos. I normally go every year but this year is was a little too expensive for my tastes - pity as I had a few grid girls to catch up with! Roll on BTCC.

I never realised the heads were reversed on the tourers - I presume for exhaust clearances.

Brilliant day with all kinds of Motorsport on display. I think the head was reversed for manifold clearance and also I think it was to follow the flow of air. Air forced in front and exited and the rear.

Exellent pics Ste.

Would have gone, if I could have afforded it. However my unit and cav rebuild costing too much for other lifes pleasures.
Hopefully i'll bump into you around town (not bump cars though :oops: )
