So you think your Merc's are fast....?

Yes - that was a light dust just to clean them before the run.

Understood...I thought it only happened to me!

Slightly OT but I love the old Nissan Bluebird 1.6 in the background with the Santa Pod stickers Sav !

Apparently they use that to calibrate the measuring equipment for RWYB days.

They reckon the standard 1.6 litre Bluebird does 1/4 mile in 12 seconds.

You wind up! A Standard 1.6 Bluebird could not even get to 60mph in less than 12 secs

Shame I can't bring my turbo Hayabusa and show y'all how to do a top speed run. I'll go easy on you and won't go more than 30mph over the fastest car. :bannana:

Haha, it's been done! My buddy Jack Frost has done a couple and the result is as insane as you'd hope. I'll dig out a YouTube link

I have been thinking of building one of these, have all the suspension, exhaust, wheels, seats, front and rear subframes and various other bits in the garage. Might take another look at it!

A potential March German Marque Vmax

I have had a quick email to and fro from Nick regards this potential German Marque Audi, BMW, and Mercedes Vmax event he has flagged up. This is all up in the air at the moment, but Nick is going to see if he can get a March date instead of February, which if the case, I will be up for it myself and happy to help organise our end of things, we would need 20 no. for our group.
Given this is all provisional at the moment, could anyone genuiely interested in this event please flag up their own interest for this day, and we will see how many are up for it, and to weather it all gets off the ground. Remember it will be around the £220-£230 mark each for the day

Me first, as long as its March.

Have any of you quick guys looked into ceramic wheel bearings yet?

They seem to have upped the anti in the top speed world lately.
