EDC spec car needed for first round. - Drifting forum

LockstopScott · 22-03-2007, 23:26

Hi, Hoping someone rent out (loan

) a decent car for me to run in the first round. I haven't got a car at the moment. I have the full licence and really want to compete this season. Would consider anything conforming to this years regs. Not much chance I know but worth the ask.
Give me a call or send PM. Thanks, Scott 07739302601.

if mines running in time you can for a few lessons and you repair what you break

**Mitch** · 23-03-2007, 06:56

What's the going rate for borrowing a fully compliant car? I only ask because Bruno would sell his Grandmother if the price was right

On a serious note-I think there is more to it than just borrowing a car for money. Wouldn't you have to have something in place to compensate for a huge smash? Also, you would need to get the car in advance so you can get some practice beforehand. I know there are some guys that can rock up any car they get into, but you will be driving against these people who will mainly be in their own car.

You may have left it a little late, but good luck in your search

Midgers · 23-03-2007, 10:35

Aye good luck mate - get us one whilst you're there

Nelo · 23-03-2007, 10:48

Would be pretty expensive I would imagine if it is anything like the rates people charge for renting out race cars to compete in. Also, if you smash it you buy it.

LockstopScott · 23-03-2007, 10:54

Cheers suprmek1 send us a PM if it´s ready in time and we can sort somthing out.

Brunosr13 · 23-03-2007, 13:09

Funny, just tould Mitch about this last night, but do you have any idea how much will be to rent a car?

And if you have full licence, where are your car?

**Mitch** · 23-03-2007, 13:36

Yes, it was a bit strange, as Bruno was only wondering yesterday how much someone would be willing to pay for the use of another's car.

DavidRuston · 23-03-2007, 14:35

If it helps, I loan my car out to Ralph to drive, we have a simple deal - we talk!

The basic rule is 'bend it- mend it' but you have to have some give and take - like when an engine dies, not always the drivers fault - but communication and mutual respect is the key.

It can be rewarding for both people, i get free drift lessons, Ralph has contributed some parts for the car as well and sponsors are willing to help build my car to a better standard to promote their companies.

LockstopScott · 23-03-2007, 14:59

With reference to Davids post thats exactly the kind of thing I was thinking of. I am sure there are other sensible people out there wanting to get the mutual benefit out of the EDC. Go on, there must be someone out there wanting to see their car on Motors TV along with the other 16 miliion people watching! (I am in begging mode).

Wasn't someone building an EDC spec Sierra? I think the TDI Lexus IS200 is being built to EDC spec too.
BTW, after the EDC licensing, you can always see if anyone who ailed to get a licence can lend you their car

**SteveC200** · 23-03-2007, 18:19

It would probably help if you said who the hell you are Scott. Not many people here would be likely to loan you a car with only 4 posts to your name and totally unknown.

kieran_e1 · 23-03-2007, 18:32

iirc he's scott "stanza dude who moved to orange sierra" armstrong

LockstopScott · 23-03-2007, 19:02

Yes good point stevec200. Got my licence at Donnington last year in and old Datsun (heaviest steering in the world) which was quite an achievment, then I tried to be different with a V8 sierra that had crud steering lock and was generaly tricky to drive and did most of the rounds with not much dosh. Got some good scores and missed on qualifying at the final by only three points (but everyone had upped the game by then). Qualified at Knockhill in the Datsun was up against Mr Loony so no chance there. Just need a proper car to prove myself this year but I have limited money like most people out there.

ROB-EDC · 23-03-2007, 19:30

There is only one Scott who has a licence Steve, seems simple to me??

Good for you.

sideways.taff · 23-03-2007, 20:09

I'd loan you my R324 if it was finished!

Midgers · 23-03-2007, 21:33

Fuck - Sorry for dissmissing you as a Newb Scott - I didn't realise it was you. I feel like a right plonker now

I'd loan you a car no worries - but I don't have one

Sorry mate

MrNick · 23-03-2007, 22:03

Sorry mate, saw you last year in Doni and I think you did really well for the car you have, but this dont mean I will lend my car to you, I spend lots a money and time to build, I have this to enjoy, if 16 miliion people go see my car on TV or not, I really dont care, if I'm not good enough, I still will enjoy my car on pratice days, if I'm good 16 miliion people go see me driving my car on TV, good look, I know you reserv be there, hope you will find a car
