Went to the speed trials at Brighton yesterday for the first time and saw loads of great retro tin being thrashed mercilessly up the prom.
I heartily recommend it!
Below are a few of the highlights.
Audi 80 sport with Turbo power
Very nicely turned out RS had an indecently quick pinto hiding inside
This curious little thing had no less than 4 chains getting drive from the engine to the wheels!
RWD Golf had a rear mounted VR6 and didn't hang about on the quarter mile. Very purposeful interior too.
Lovely GTV6
Loads of vintage stuff got thrashed up the quarter, on the left is an E.R.A, can't remember the other.
This Dodge was one of the coolest sights, unfortunately it only made it a few inch's up the strip amidst very loud grinding gear noises
Sunbeam sported a homebrew Zetec Turbo using a cut n shut rover inlet manifold.
Capri was super clean and Cosworth V6'd
One of the many "interesting" starter-motors for the bikes
5 Gordini was very nice
Loads of vintage brit bikes with obligatory covering of engine oil
This chap had just turned 80 and gave it the full beans up the quarter mile on his abused looking J.... LEGEND!
Homebrewed and lashed together sidecar outfits piloted by lunatics!
Mr "AC" wasn't short of a bob or two.
E-Type + Slots + Centrelines = WIN.
All packed up and ready to go
That is all...
I heartily recommend it!

That little green thing is amazing...
