View Full Version : The One In Front Title
What do you have to do to get "the one in front title" ?
Is it a 1/4 mile award
a 40 - 100 drag award
a 0 - 100 award (near enough a 1/4 mile award)
a preston - sheffield run
a lap of oulton run (which mine will obviously fail at ;-) )
a flat out run
or what, what does it take to remove the title from 9 lives' bonnet.
/y0z
You'll probably need to do all those things to even have a chance.
Yoz you'll also need to drive the car there and home again ie no cheating using your other Clio or having a car which isn't road legal/doesn't drive on the road.
obviously road legal is the main point.
;-)
just want to be aware of what it will take...
/y0z
i think it's mainly in reference to the peaks run and 1/4 mile racing... as he normally is in front at both...
does this involve lunacy - the peaks run? as i have promised the better half that i will behave on the public highway (much to my dismay)

I think for starters you need a Williams ONE. :P
Mat.
I think for starters you need a Williams ONE SEVEN TWO. :P
Mat.
well said mat.
/y0z
lol
as matt rightly pointed out....
1st on the list is to have a williams 1
2nd on the list...is to be the quickest williams 1 point to point (from wherever to wherever) taking in timed runs as par for the course
3rd on the list......u have to remove brain b4 engaging gear, or should this be 2nd on list??
4th......never realised i could count this high before lol

No poxy mark 2 cars
since when has stromba been involved in the 1 in front?
Craggy never had a 1, but was a holder of the title at one point.
:-(
or have the rules just changed.

Na i heard the king prefers 1 from behind???????
think the one in front title does apply to MK2 as well really... but from what I gather and what I have seen it's mainly down to Jon's unearthly speed over the NW peaks... but seeing Yozza and Jon race first hand I can safely say that Yoz has the balls to match and can certainly fukkin drive! Then again, so can the Kirmanator, will be interesting to see what the ITR in his hands will do to some of us on the peaks 8)

cheers BeJeesus :-) made me well chuffed.
The ITR is a mentally quick car in the right hands - I have seen a few quick ones and then some with Jackson Racing Superchargers, MENTAL...

Yoz, im perfectly entitled to challenge for the title on one in front, just as you are. I mean if all i have to do is beat a guy whos engine blows up and who crashes at the slightest spots of rain on track, how hard can it be?

Mate im not a racer im a restorer. Anyone restored a Williams as well as me?
Err no.
So that makes me the best at what i do. Cheers :D
lol @ Rob
he can drive mate, I can only guess as to how much he was pushing it, but seeing those guys on the road is a sight. I almost binned my car after FCS and had to cut onto the other side of the road with Jon following me. Put it this way, when I was in front all I was doing was hold the guy up and Yoz can go toe to toe and would imagine is better on track due to experience. That's in no way any disrespect to Jon either, as he's fukkin awesome on the Oulton Park track day as was Yoz at Brunty. Engine blew up, but he was putting on a show for us at the end of the day, cant fault the man for that :D

Because I'm restoring a real classic, not a ten year old euro box... :wink:
You think restoring a ten year old car is hard??? Try sourcing parts for a 33 year old car.... I can't ring up Triumph and buy some original wheels!!!

Yozza. let me drive your car and i will lap faster than you on any track / piece of road. But im not thrashing my car doing it.

Some people prefer a minty mint standard example.
Owning a 172 I wouldn't expect you to feel a great sense of pride driving it. Mainly down to the fact no one knows if its a 1.2 or a 172. If you had a instantly recogniseable respected car you might wanna restore it to its former glory.

I don't care if noone knows what it is. In fact, I quite like it. It's a mode of transport for me. Something to get to work in. I have a true classic car, worth two of your williams, that I 'take pride in'.
and LOL @ y0z/!!

Oh yes. If you look at it for long enough, I swear you can actually see it rust in front of your eyes. lol. A bit like your arches.... :wink:
A dinosaur it maybe, but it's s a bona fide classic and will only be worth more as time goes by.... Which gives us a t least one thing in common. Although I would race anyone in it. It handles like an elephant on rollerskates. Sounds the nuts though.
just to clear a few things up.........
'the 1 in front' was made up by me in reply to a sign in question for cs forum........which later became part of ur sig........
craggy never held the title '1 in front' as he prefered the title of 'road warrior' which he rightly deserved
and adi prefered 'cliorossa' or 'wanka/gayboy/cuntybollox'
so the 1 in front isnt actually a title, just the answer to a question...altho it has answered quite a few more questions since hehe
and it has lived up to the title/answer very well....
but now.....it DOES mean the williams 1 in front.......has done for the past couple years tbh
so to take the title now will take a williams 1 faster than my own......2s 3s an hybrids...fight for ur own titles lol
^lol^
Martin shot guns at dawn ....for the fastet hybrid
Yes i have a death wish lol

Ok Fred, how many laps do i get? I am up for this. The challenge is on.
as many as you want???
(although you break the car/crash it, you pay for it)
is only a 1.2 16V, but handles like a go kart
KingStromba
04-06-2005, 15:27
Well if your going to put conditions on it :lol:
How about if i crash it i pay, if i break it, thats racing :wink:
that shows confidence in your skills lol :lol:
KingStromba
04-06-2005, 16:13
Im confident i wont crash. But i cant say that i wont cain the gearbox or clutch. Its a race car after all. I will be driving it as such.
all williams' are race cars and should be driven as such

04-06-2005, 16:20
Lol, no rally williams ran a 4-1 manifold as far as i am aware :wink:
All 4-2-1. That makes yours and mine a road car.

lol.....years of practise mate, and contratry to popular belief..my reaction times at the strip are better the more wrecked i get it seems hehe
performance enhancing! :wink:
either that or ur just more relaxed
or u trip that uv seen the lights change and set off.with the lights still being on yellow, but ur fantastic r/t with being stoned means u dont actually set off until the 4 yellows are lit
see green uv lost......or if ur really stoned u get out the car n try to smoke the lights
I was ****ed that day... completely hangin out me arse... I'm never gonna get up at 3:30 again... could hardly keep me eyes open. lol
was okay once out the sun, but like 2 live I think had we not raced off on the way home instead of convoying back I would have fallen asleep at the wheel! hehe
