Bruntingthorpe Track/Airfield Day

[Flyer]

Great vid Scott. Looked like you were enjoying yourself ... Matt, how chilled out?

 

[Maff]

Does my voice really sound like that??

Must admit it was great fun in the Nissan, more so than the 55 AMG !

Getting the back end out at 100MPH and correcting it in time was a bit brown pants moment, at the same spot where Steve spun his Aston!

Matt,

You can half lose it at 100mph anytime with me as a passenger. Haven't had so much fun legally in a car for ages! Ben was not going to let me go home without you taking me for a drive.

He's still raving about it to his workmates now. Like my workmates, they just tune out. Mercedes! Fast, Blah! Blah! Blah............180mph.... Blah, blah, blah......


More video coming soon. New monster Dell editing machine arrives tomorrow.

Cool. Whatever rough cuts of the 350Z you have my mate would very much like.

Graham,

Footage from the 350Z is on a separate tape, so rather easy to send over. Can you/your mate use it in DV format, or would you like full avi captured to DVDROM?

I think Gary can use it from DV, his Dad has some kit, but if avi on a DVD is easy and cheaper to send.........better for me too - can show everyone else in the office

Great Vid Scott - I cant believe how relaxed Matts driving style is .

I'm glad it wasnt just me who had a twitchy back end on that bend ! my reflexes just wernt as quick as Matts though . Nice drive Matt.

....must be all that 'chilling out' in the CL - I bet there are very few cars as relaxing to drive as that at 180 mph !!

Shows how comfy it is to drive at 180MPH, Richard who was filming was holding the camera steady and leaning towards me and the speedo all the way!

Can't remember if I was having an air conditioned back massage on that run from the comfort seats!

Mind, to get a 2 tons of steel and plastic to that speed and back to 40mph in two miles is a great bit of engineering. Remember the cars 5 meters long!!

Getting the back end out at 100MPH and correcting it in time

Ahh, now I understand where I went wrong, no-one said to only go to 100mph on that bend.

Your style was very relaxed Maff, nice recovery.

nice driving Matt :bannana:

I am having serious thoughts (I think I've caught a bug), anyone else up for having another go?

Must get that limiter removed

 

[pammy]

Oh yes - count me in!

 

[Maff]

I'm 99% going with two friends on the May date, looks like another GTG?

Think I might just have to tag along to make up the M1 convoy

 

[scotth_uk]

Gents, my webspace has been suspended for the moment as I didn't realise I had an outbound limit. :-( Sorry. Will find a new home for the vids.

I spoke to Toby yesterday and I already have half a dozen CRX's going up !
I was going to mention it on here in the next few days - but it seems like everyone else has the same idea
