Ok So It Really Is Quite Wide...

309 Thunder saloon at Brands Hatch on Sunday.

 

Not the greatest pictures as it was jacked up and being worked on so doesn't give a true impression of how low the thing actually is.

It's certainly wide though! I've got some more shots I can add later if people want to see them.

Check out the width of the tyre!

It's out in the CSCC Special saloon series. It's out with the big Carlton, V8 Belmont, V8 Kitten, silouette Esprit etc along with a lot of special saloons.

 

I think the RX7 was due to be there but I didn't see it on the Sunday either on track on in the paddock so am guessing he may have had issues on the Saturday.

Looks AMAZING and SOOOO WIDE. I bet that has some serious poke and gets a lot of attention.

if i'm not mistaken; this is how it all began:

 

 

last year they fabricated new wings out of aluminium instead of polyester

 

[Rich_p 23]

Yep that's the one.

 

What issue of fast car is that?

 

I have the one behind with the 205 in but don't have a copy of the 309 one.

I have made a thread ages ago about the car with various details but just thought I'd post some pics from the weekend on a fresh thread.

Your mates one looks great too. They are quite different in terms of suspension set up though I believe.
