Good bit of footage and interview last week on the Metro Phil Getting more into my Tout Terrain / Offroad stuff now Did Monaghan build many of them Metro's Phil?

Hello boss. Didnt think you would have seen that, it was terrible event. Gordon only did mine.I decided i wanted a 6R4 body so i made the bodywork, took him the complete shell assembled and he built the frame to fit under it for me. nice job. Ive got my engine out at the moment, its poorly, no compression on 4 and 5 cyl. gives me sumat to do i spose.

What is the footage off Mark? Would like to see the interview and some more footage of the car :D Do you think you will get the metro sorted for its next round Rogue?

Hoping to get engine sorted, ordered all the parts yesterday from BMW. Rings, Mains, big Ends. Rod Bolts, Head Bolts, Timing Chain, Water pump, etc etc. I dont know how to get hold of the clip on tv. someone says says they are going to put it on you tube but i dont think they have, i cant find it.

It was an offroad programme I caught the back end of last week Nick on Motors TV, I hoped to catch the repeat but forgot. Good action and Offroading is the way forward as the cars look a lot better than they used to look

It certainly wasnt one of our best events, the weather ruined it. and the programe didnt do it any favours realy. They interviewed me on my way out for my first run and then again when i got back in. They was also going on how we are being "enviromentaly conciencous" ??? How does that come across when in the background it looked like "the battle of the somme" 1st o/a was a 206 with a supercharged V6 jag engine 2nd o/a was a 206 with a nissan 350 engine (fully sorted) 3rd o/a was a 206 with a scubi STI engine, special import from japan total 75 entries. i finished 3rd in class, not good realy but acceptable. 31st o/a i think. I clipped a tree on the last run, had to repair front wing, (looks like new again now). Then found i have a sick engine so that does answer some questions for me.

Some awesome machines out there now Phil do you know where I can buy Tout Terrain French offroad dvds?

Ive asked around and no one realy knows. All the ones my mates have have been bought over there. Sorry. Dont know what to suggest realy. Unless you can read / speak french and go on one of the tout terrain websites.

Cheers Phil for that

Phil, did you manage to get the car fixed in time for the 2nd round of the borc at the weekend? How did you get on?

Hello Boss. No, engine not done in time. Been waiting for engine man to finish cylinder head. All being well i should be picking it up this sunday. Im booked in to the rolling road on 25th so ive got to get ready. Next event is scotland on 27th. I went up to last event for a weekend away, Kershaw got 1st o/a. Runs a 206 body, nissan 350 engine with sadev sequential box. Quite a few break downs, one car had a bad fire, Fire crew used 23 extinguishers to put it out. car is fairly bad,

Great pics of a super car...thanks for sharing them! See ya soon, Gary :)

Just got back from 3rd round, castle oer, scotland, Think most of you might know it as twiglees. Bad day at black rock for me. New engine expired 9 miles into the first stage. think its dropped a rod bolt and cracked the block, engine locked up and got water in the oil. On with taking it out yet again. think i will mount it in on velcro this time Then on way home on sunday night i had 2 blow outs on the wagon, both rear nearside tyres at the same time, it woke me up i can tell you. had to crawl home with one spare wheel on the back for about 60 miles. any one got any good contacts for wagon tyres, 205/75 x 17.5.
