E30 Hartge H26 "Big Red"

Post by TopCat »

Dear All
I was sure that I had previously posted some info on my 1991 E30 Hartge somewhere
Anyway have just finished my entry in Manx Classic this year when I found a great picture of Big Red in action in a previous Classic event rounding the famous Gooseneck bend at Llergy Frissell

Not quite so professional is the beam cutter!

LOL can u explain that beam cutter to me please? BTW this looks like a turn that screams for some sideways action!

Of course we don't do that here :innocent started a row on our Belgium trip 2 years ago when we went through a slippery hairpin with 20 odd cars with a bunch of tree huggers watching :loll

Ah you mean like this lady in the Viper- she had already hit the wall as you can see!

The awful bean cutter is needed as a timing strut- we just added it to the towing eye- few places to fit one to front of the E30

This Delta almost got it wrong as well!!
