190MPH down the back straight at bedford....Are you sure. Would not have thought it was long enough.

Lovely car though.

I suppose the speed is believable but my god would you be on the brakes for the left than right corners after

Either way, a fantastic car, couldn't believe my eyes when I came across 3 of these at the ring on the same day !

2 Normal Zondas and one Zonda S, I followed the S round as he was being photgraphed by a camera crew, So maybe one day I'll see a pic of my nova overtaking a Zonda

I also think your mate was bullshitting at going out in it. I think there was a Motorsport sensation day on yesterday and not a trackday at ALL! I will find out.

Plus, you will also find that the Zonda can't go on Bedford, as it exceeds their noise regulations by a considerable margin .

Ballistic I'd imagine, but no doubt there'd be a few RS Turbo's keeping up!

Another clue would be if it was a trackday there would be loads of trackday cars and trailers in the carpark....

AND the Zonda would have either a Green or red square sticker in the top corner of windscreen

So who do we think is bullshitting???

a.Westys mate
b. Westy
c. Both of the above!

Too many Dave! I booked it for 40.... now normally I get a few blow outs on the day and so Sean gets a call early in the morning and screams down there at 300mph and gets to drive for free

40 clients turned so not only did Sean not get his freebie drive but I had to drop out myself

GUTTED
