Homer Lawtey

Hi guys, Thanks for showing me how donuts are supposed to be done, I guess 4WD and no turbos isn't a great starting point. I don't think I'd fancy driving a Zed in the rain!!! Steve

Oh yeah, Maxsunny. Nice car, sort him out on the M1!!!

I'll possibly be going, possibly not. The car has let go of the crank less than 24hrs before I go to JAE. ****ing typical. Have fun guys.

Fair enough. I'll be thinking of you whilst drinking beer! Don't go too fast if Justin is with you, I don't think he's into high speeds!!!

Why not wait a little while and join up with us. Then you'll miss the M1 clogging up as it does every Friday afternoon. Steve

Maxsunny. Are you the guy Justin mentioned (he owns a GTO TT)? I'm going to head down to JAE on the friday with a few others. Do you fancy joining us? We're going to meet at Woodall services on the M1 around the 19:30 mark. I'll be going M180/M18 to get there if you want to meet up? Steve

If I said Barton, you'd know where! I work on a new power station in Immingham, hence the board username. JAPS is the show in Newark (Thoresby park) this weekend coming (26th and 27th June). I'm going down on the Friday evening and stopping until Sunday PM. If you're planning to go, I can PM you my mobile number. I am also going to JAE at Billing next month aswell. The nitrous is a Wizards of Nos kit, though only the large bottle is nitrous. One of the smaller bottles is propane to fuel the nitrous, and the other is a CO2 intercooler kit. I'm not too happy with how it's all working at the moment, so I'm probably gonna ditch one or 2 of the botles and go back to basics for a while. Steve

Yep, twas me with nitrous. I have many pictures of Gloynboyz cars for Barryboys.co.uk, but couldn't bring myself to take photos of Maxd or Donny cruise cars, as the majority were very well presented. The RS owners club were, without doubt, the best club there, and their cars were outstanding, even for Fords! I can't understand a Mondeo owner's club, but I guess it takes allsorts. The MG X-power club had some nice cars, but the one winning best ICE, was just an over the top pile of speakers and amps in a boot, didn't sound too great and was badly organised. If I had really wanted that prize, I'd have taken my credit card to Halfrauds and bought the same stuff he had, then thrown it in my boot! Are you going to JAPS? If so, pop over to where the GTOs are and ask a couple of people where Homer is, someone will point me out to you. Let's have a beer!!!! Steve

I thought the standard was somewhat lowered by the sheds at the entrance, all adorned with "Gloynboyz" stickers. Not a single one of them was fit for showing. Maxsunny - I saw your car there, looking nice. I would have come and talked to you, but you were engrosed in conversation with someone else. Steve (3 bottles in my boot, not all nitrous ;))

I'd love to come, but my clutch is fried, and the new one is in a UPS van in North Carolina as we speak. I will come and play with you Zeds soon, mwahahahaha. Steve (GTO TT)

I would imagine the 25th July would be out in most peoples books, as it's the same weekend as JAE. I have emailled back asking for prices, camping availability, whether we would get an actual "shootout" at the end of the day and if we would get a dedicated class for ourselves. I'll let you know when I hear some more. I've not heard anything from Santa Pod yet. As a side issue for club commitee members, would each of the clubs be willing to stump up some cash and buy some prises for the event if it happens? Maybe an overall fastest trophy and some bubbly? Steve

GTOUK have entered a team of 5 cars into this for the last 2 years events. I can tell you it's an excellent day out, and your club would do well to get a foot in the door early for next year's event, to enter a team of your best 5 cars.

Oh, also here and here

Have a look here for some info on propane. It works like water injection, only better! Instead of getting a fuel controller and leaning out my injectors when on the propane, I add nitrous to lean out the mixture whilst adding propane to stop detonation and raise the AF ratio and octane. I've also emailled Santa Pod to see if they can offer a do for us!

I have emailled York dragway asking for possible dates, costs and what the chances are of them organising something along the lines of the minis vs beetles event for us. I'll let you know when I get a reply.
