Kev946 Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Some of you will know that I used to race Land Rovers a few years ago, so was interested to see Tomcats featured on Top Gear at the weekend. This was Hamster in Iceland racing a Kayak. I used to own one for a few years and competed in the Northern Off Road Club and did a couple of British Opens. Great fun, but hard work. I now prefer trackdays as being something less competitive and less mud. Here's me at Matt Lee's Superspecial, (figure of 8 track). At the time this was the only track in the uk, as all other CompetitiVe Safari Racing is stages like rallying. At the time I was running a 4.6 litre V8 producing about 300 bhp and oodles of torque.

Kev946 Posted May 16, 2006 Author Share Posted May 16, 2006 Thanks Mate.. Yes I have a desire to get muddy with it.. Must admit, watching Hamster on Top Gear did start me thinking. BTW I don't know how but I managed to come 4th on that day and that picture was also featured in Land Rover Owner Magazine. For the Northern Off Road Club, Click http://www.norc.co.uk/ Some good pictures in the gallery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
