its the bloke from evo mag

the car was imported and was orignally a nice grey colour

he proceeded to spend 18k on having it sprayed sick yellow :eek:
The Carrera GT pictured & video'd above is NOT Paul Baileys fast fleet car from evo.
The one above is some random dude who has tracked & nailed his CGT all over the place including Spa, Italy, Ring & Silverstone, he's a proper petrol-head!

Petrol Heads reg = 'KE04 URV'
Paul Baileys reg = 'V10 PB'

Howeverrrrr, as small-a-world as it is, BOTH cars have featured in the SAME copy of evo! Last months in fact... evo Aug 2006 - 094

Pg 091 - Cover Story - The Science of Speed = Paul Baileys
Pg 154 - Fast Fleet - End of Term: Ferrari 550 (Lord Metcalfe's) = Tucked up in a small piccy next to the horse!


I'll err, grab my CGT stalking/evo fanatic coat...

8.55 in a standard saxo, VTS?

Yes, think it was lowered and that was about it other than a crap bodykit. He did this to it on his next lap trying to beat his time though:

Exhaust will do nothing, induction will do nothing. It's got a manifold so hmm maybe 5bhp more.

16" wheels, lowered too far at the back and cheap springs on the front. Handling likely to be worse than standard. Okay its got 4-pots I forgot about those.

Yes its got some fancy interior and lots of stick on exterior bits but really it will be barely faster than standard and handling is likely to be worse.

For a reference point, he was only two seconds faster than me round a sprint track and I was in a standard vtr with budget tyres. And he CAN drive.
