Was a top day and pleased to meet some new people too!

THANK YOU sooooooooooooo much to lee, for letting me abuse the Porsche... youre crazy! But a very special crazy person.... who after today.... just isnt as quick me to 30 or 60 mph

I was pretty pissed off after 2 runs i just could not get to the 180mph mark..... i did 176mph then 178mph.... then it rained and i thought it was ll over.......... then right at the end when every one had buggered off and there were just the last few dregs of us hanging about....... 180.4mph YAY!! WOOHOO!

So needless to say i was chuffed... the stu, and lee decided to have a play and do a few donuts and drifts int the porsche... that poor car got so much stick today!!

Stu - your westfield is looking amzing dude... SUCH a shame about the wishbones.... and cheers for the ride in the cayenne!! ( hope it doesnt cost too much to fix! )

So a chipped 911 turbo manages 180 at brunters...
what power is this meant to be? 500 +?

Would have thought it would pull more than that?

Martin - you should of!

Rapid - to be fair it was probably down to me bottling it too early!! The car itself had loads of grunt in it left, but i always seemed to slam the anchors on far too early.

Personally i still think 180mph is an achievment.

That's because it died out with LA Gear flashing trainers, what a Gimmick they turned out to be.

HAHA! Mate had them, I remember disowning him for it. Remeber Addidas wannabe's found in George, ASDA with one extra stripe. My mum never realised that extra stripe was the difference in me having friends at school, or having no friends and getting beat up all the time.

At least with my LA gears I had something to Amuse me my whilst I sat in the toilet looking out the window at all the other kids playing. Well, until the LED bulb went and everyone thought I had replicas.

You could get some Nikes back then for Ł1.40 a week on the Catalogue til you die and then the Debt is passed on, yet she still refused the tight cow.

Anyway, rant over.

Stav- please bear us in mind for the next one mate, the two V8 kit cars were well up for it, and the V8 sierra with circa 1000bhp. The guy with kitcar with the 642bhp Ls 7 in sub 900kg is confident of sub 6s 0-100mph with dry traction
he was gutted not to get an invite this time, and will come whenever you want him there.
cheers

I didn't! Maria did!

car went over 175 at least 10 times though yesterday

She made me laugh though.... first time down there she was flying down there she said 'help me, what way does it go?!?!?'

Errrr... Straight!

Porker went well off the line but small boost leak was holding Topspeed back, should be doing 190mph there. Same cars with same mods have. Certainly was ANYTHING to do with Marias driving. She was amazingly brave, awesome at launching and far far faster through the gears than me.
