EXACTLY that! On the phone they are an absolute nightmare! Dont answer phone, then pass you round different people, then none of em know anything and make it sound a lot harder than it is, then get you to ring back another day
In the end I got a vague answer from some guy, and asked Rob@Kleerfreight wether I should just frick it and just turn up, so I did, and it was totally fine, mega easy and painless once you there!
If their phone stuff was as good as they are in person, itd be fine.
Tho their actual dock workers are lazy work shy frickers too

Stock turbos I think, so idve thought 400bhp at most, but the car feels a lot quicker than GTRs running the usual "stage1" mods. Prob as it RWD and totally stripped.

Soon as its road legal mate ill be driving it all over the shop, and yeah, i trust you to have a go, tho you seem a bit RB26 jinxed, lol

Well I bought this to get back to the days like when I had my Cossie, ie totally innapropriate driving of a loud and lairy car in public, so yeah, of course, and 2 of em together would just be hillarious as the confused looks on peoples faces when I was driving home was funny enough

Oh, and theres also...






etc etc, for 1.5miles...

I wont plough it into a tree, no, but I might destroyinate the engine into a million tiny pieces, lol

Get to Westonzoyland when they run the next day, and I'll have a go there

With stock turbos it'll be 350bhp ish, but will feel loads faster than a 350bhp GTR as they're, well, shit

Is the intention to keep the road pictured above nameless?

Those pictures really don't emphasise how steep some of those corners are, it really is like a race track!

Rather dangerous though

Salami- Calm down dear, Jord already made the joke at my expense yesterday but i didnt cry about it.

James- Its not best to publicise it, was already a piece in the paper last week about the place being used as a racetrack by bikers
Your right tho, this nuts, 25mph limit road, and thats not far wrong either, my Mondeo understeers on the tightest corners if you go above 40

Damn bikers spoiling our fun!

Its very rare I ever go upthere, I get too complacent in places like that...far too high a risk of me smashing my car up...And theres a possibility of killing myself, I wouldn't wanna do both

TBH to go downwards you need either a deathwish or a spotter at the bottom with a walkie talkie anyhow.

Upwards you can do it, but even thats dangerous, nearly took a Micra out in the S12 doing that, lol.

I hate going down it, i only use it to get to the start of the uphill! lol!

There was an occassion of somebody who looked like me in a blue S12 in a very speedy convoy past a police car down that hill once upon a time but I know nothing about that
