you could do but you'd then look like a massive twat

you not feeling the ricerness then paul?
never know it may weigh the back of the polo down abit and add some traction

Think ill get a couole of those aluminuim ones shown on the civic and one of the straps and as yoof suggested leaving it on at all times is definantly the way to go ....

I've interviewed someone who had cable tied the tow strap (which they called a toe strap) to the front of their car. Just to make sure it's COMPLETELY useless.

Be amazed if you find a gravel trap at Coombe, a crop field maybe.....

Yoof · July 19, 2013, 08:07:15 AM

That's true, it's basically grass + tyres

Combe is a fantastic circuit in a Polo. Take it easy @ Quarry corner until you get some heat in the tyres

Ok so I had three sessions at coomb and what can I say it was amazing fun the car coped fine no problems at all can't wait to do it again. I will make some minor suspension tweaks for next time and I will try and get some negative camber swell and a bit more castor.

One thing I would say is next time I will re torque my wheel bolts after each session as I pulled of from the last session I noticed a knocking noise later found out it was all front wheel bolts had come completely undone :S

My driving needs some work but I wasn't expending to be amazing from the get go. There was a couple of dodgy over takes by others mainly by people driving mk2 golf championship on corners which put me off. All in all excellent day defiantly better than a day at the pod in my opinion!

Awesome photos!! Love the top one

whats the spec of your car? Looks some serious cornering!
i reckon more negative camber the outside wheel on one of those photos is so banked over its inverted to positive camber lol

Cant wait to track day mine
thanks for the photos

Steve Millo's old car! Great to see it's still about. Got loads of old pics of this if you want them.

Cool piks mate. Loving the white on white theme looks cool

Jester · July 23, 2013, 02:16:10 PM

Wicked pictures, looks a lot of fun too!.. your door handles look quite smart, they off an audi?

how did the polo stack up against the other sort of cars there? or did you just cruise around at your own pace?

hayesey · July 23, 2013, 03:14:43 PM

nice pictures! Cool how the same old cars keep popping up again.
