Congratulations go to James Inglis for winning Car of the Month for July 2008. His awesome P10 turbo puts him up there with one of the most powerful Primeras in the country.
Congratulations James, how does it feel to win COTM? I'm well chuffed, so many people have commented about how my car is worthy of the award but it has just been a matter of fingers crossed every month and finally it's come I feel totally honoured - Thanks. First off, let us find a bit about the person behind the car. Tell us about yourself James. I'm married with 2 kids: Shannon who's 12 and Jack who most people know from the meetings is 5. I've had an addiction for fast cars since I was a kid and have had stuff ranging from p10 eZX's and 2.8 injection Capri's to 1.8 Civic VTI's and gladly resorted back to my love of Primera's with my eGT Turbo. How did you manage to stumble across the NPOC community and why did you stay? I was told about NPOC by the car's previous owner Mark and once I had become an Elite member have never looked back. I still remember my first meeting in my Mrs' Citroen C3 in Norfolk with Tom, Ross, Sluffer, Dave (P12DMR) and the rest of the guys, sorry but I can't remember everybody and even though it was pissing it down all day, it was still a great day. Garret T28 turbo Modified one off intercooler Custom fuel rail with Pulsar injectors High pressure fuel pump Full stainless exhaust Stainless header Piggy back ECU Blitz air filter Turbo Timer Manual boost adjuster Oil cooler K Sport coil overs all round
I do plan to put a Garret T3 roller bearing turbo on but not sure when I'm going to do it. This is more for reliability reasons than to increase BHP numbers although I would like to see it hit 300 bhp and I would like to improve the intercooling. Other than that I'm trying to calm down on the spending a bit. To be honest for most of the stuff between my close friend Mark, good friend denty and myself there isn't much we can't do but I still rely on my rolling road specialist for any setting up that needs doing. For anything else we would normally do it ourselves. My turbo if I was was fast enough, but a simple touch that I love is my carbon fibre door strips they are a great add on and improve the look of the P10 greatly (thanks to Nabber for a great group buy). I think the people in NPOC are a great bunch and I love the cars so the combination of the two makes for a great day. This is one, but every meet and even every time I drive my car I'm just buzzing, so the whole NPOC family has been a great addition to my life. So now for a Magnus Magnusson moment. A Quick fire question round Whats your favourite cheese - Cathedral mature (light) that's me trying to be healthy. Favourite car ever made - Lancia Intergrale Favourite car you've ever owned - My Primera Favourite Car on NPOC - Mine, Marks Mystic, Nabbers P11, Leighs 4x4, all the nordics all the 10's, the welsh guys 144 sorry I can't remember your name and all the other guys and girls I haven't mentioned. Sorry I couldn't name one. The best meet of the year for you - Ace cafe. The curry night and plenty of beers with Ant Dat, Col, Tom, Nabbs & G, etc etc. It was a great night. I've got to say the weekend with Nabbs, Gav and Tom in Sunderland for a North East meet was also very special.
Congratulations again for a very worthy COTM winner. And last but not least, anyone you want to say a quick thanks to within the club? Thanks to Tom, Sluffs and Dave from the Eastern block. Nabbs, Col, Gav and Crazy from the Northern lot.
Shauny and Biojoba, Leigh, Keith, Ade and Evo from the Southern lot.
Andy and Naughtynorm from the middle of the country and of course my local boys Mark, Stuferg, Craig, Denty and Jam p11 for making me feel welcome and part of the club
My thanks to everybody else that I haven't mentioned (including the wife for putting up with my spending habits).
