twisted · 12 Sep 2006, 08:12 (Ref:1708587)

Hi I am new to the forum and I am looking for some advise on Hillclimb Championship results.

Thanks in anticipation!!!

BTW - Excellent choice of car. A bunch of us hillclimb marshals can attest to the fact that not only has Steve Owen never made a slow car, we've also been astonished at how well his cars have protected their drivers when things have gone pear shaped.

If you check out Steve's website you will find a very resonable upgrade packages to allow you to move up to the latest spec cars!

A very sensible and economic way forward!

Thanks Guys,When I puchased the car I had only ever seen photo's in mags of Steves cars.
Steve has been really helpfull and friendly with advice!
I love the look of the new Hornet.

Come on TWISTED post a picture of the wee beastie!

twisted · 13 Sep 2006, 08:50 (Ref:1709425)

Ok I am silly....how to I post a photo.
Sorry Guys,I hope my driving of a car is better than my computor skills!

b1ackcr0w · 13 Sep 2006, 14:22 (Ref:1709594)

If you Click "Go Advanced" - there is a manage attachment button, it should be straightforward from there.

PS Who was the previous owner? Without wanting to be rude, we probably know the car better than you do ATM

twisted · 14 Sep 2006, 00:37 (Ref:1709866)

Ok how silly do I feel where is the "go Advanced" button.
The car was Mike Fitzsimons he drove it bfore his heart attacK!!

Absolutely agree with b1ackr0w's comments above. We marshals are almost becoming complacent when heading to a major shunt thinking 'Ah, it's an OMS, he'll be fine'. In the Hornet I think he's produced a remarkably pretty car. The smaller classes tend to be functional rather than attractive but this one bucks the trend. They're also very quick, and I don't imagine they're any less safe than everything else he's built. Have fun with it.

I am stupid if I click on the landscape picture is promps me for a http address!
I have run the car in Australia twice!
At the last meeting I won the class and was less than 1/2 second off the class record!
I love it!

PS you might have to draw me a map to work it out how to insert photos!

zac510 · 20 Oct 2006, 08:51 (Ref:1742827)

You can email it to me and I can put it up for you twisted.

twisted · 20 Oct 2006, 09:51 (Ref:1742866)

Thanks for that what did i do wrong?

b1ackcr0w · 20 Oct 2006, 11:01 (Ref:1743027)

Ah Ettories. Funnily enough, a couple of Corners on from that, I had that model of OMS (same model, different chassis) in for an enormous smash. The car took two giant hits at the the front end. After 14 years of competition, all the bits that should crumple, crumpled. All the bits that should stay together, stayed together. Driver walked away with a headache and bruised thumb and wrist. As I say, excellent choice of car.

The Oms is still going well! It holds the up to 1300 cc record at our States track Collingrove the 1054cc engine still has the wood on the local Hayabussa cars...so far!

Twisted, the photos have disappeared! I think that you have either moved them in Photobucket or deleted them!

zac510 · 9 Sep 2008, 22:02 (Ref:2286087)

I was hosting the photo but I deleted it sorry. Let me see if I can find it, otherwise maybe twisted can put some new ones up!

twisted · 26 Sep 2008, 12:35 (Ref:2298350)

Yes I can try!
We have the State Championships soon so I will post some photos of local cars for you guys to see!

Ten out of ten for commitment (1st prerequsite for a hillclimber!). And I believe that's the reccomended angle of attack if you're name's Martin Groves or Eynon Price. Have you considered competing in drifting?

twisted · 17 May 2009, 01:47 (Ref:2463749)

Yes I do like a drift! But if only it was the fastest way up a hill!
