CSCC Test Day for Modsports, Special Saloons & Thundersaloons

It was, quite frankly, awesome. The cars ranged from Baby Bertha, the DAF V8 & Mick Hill's completely barking mad VW Chevy to Pete Stevens Thundersaloons Vauxhall Carlton (which I believe hasn’t run in ‘anger’ for many years), the "Stars & Stripes" Opel Manta, several Imp/ Stilleto Special Saloons, a couple of Skoda coupe clones, a Mini driven by Pete Baldwin (rebuilt to replicate his old car colour scheme), a bonkers Reliant Kitten Rover V8 (which the owner, a serving RAF Officer, had driven 11 hours from Inverness to get there, just to be part of the day!!!), a motorbike engined Fiat 500, a couple of Lotus Elan modsports cars, a couple of Mk1 escorts, a Mk2 escort BDG and so many more. I think the ex Stewart Tyrrell matra & ex Sheckter Wolf WR1 F1 cars that were also testing were a bit overshadowed!.

Love the shot of Baby Bertha.

I would love to see a straight race between Baby Bertha and the Carlton!

I agree, think Bertha would have the edge.

Thank you for replying, I was starting to think I had done something to offend with the lack of comments on all my post's.

No David, it's like most forums.. 'If your face fits'! :bang:

I get even less people reply to mine, that's why I don't start any threads anymore.

Anyway, well done.

thanks again, not ready to give up quite yet, will try for a bit longer before I stop posting

Take care fella
