Went for a hill climb today so obviously pics weather was a bit of a let down, but still a great morning.
the black starlet Gt is of my mate, pushes about 300bhp (1/4mile 12.7s) at the moment.... he managed to get the fastest FWD car of the day. beating the blue impreza and many others. also managed 13th overall (including the single seaters).
comments welcome. excuse quality of pics. high resolutions pic available on request

no it didn't. the starlet done a best time of 41.5sec (in the 3rd run) and the 106 was over 45sec (although not officially timed)

wow awesome. Looks a quality day out!
I wish we had some public hill climb days like that near me, most of them here are like rally stages and I don't want to kill myself.

come try in malta and dont worry about the people... there are points where they stand so close to the track that if u crash you'd kill most of them so you can be sure that they won't talk about it

are they actually superlite wheels? the ones you produce / sell are similar to the ones on the minis in the 1st and 2nd pics right?
most escort mk1s and mk2s in Malta have those wheels i'll try find a couple of pics if you want!
