Great vid that, just goes to show how well a car with 350bhp can go when driven by a pair of fast drivers.

I am actually waiting on some tit coming on and saying, "He could be so much faster by using this line..... blah blah blah"

Knockhill was fucking great back then I used to enjoy watching them daft bastards as much as going round. Ian D used to make a habit of taking a few nice cars up too and with his "who gives a fuck" attitude the tended to end up with battle damage too!!

Superb video - the best I've seen in a long while ! Driving the cars in a controlled environment at the limit where there's no risk of anyone else being injured.

What it's all about - again, fantastic video !!!!

LOL Quality vid!

Andrew and Charlie are both a bit nuts in a car... on a track... actually, just in general!

Loving the bit when Charlie thought he had the run on Andrew and you can still hear him saying something like, 'I nearly had you, you bastard!' as Andrew just shuts the door on him!

It was on bilsteins at that time im sure... but aye hes just a total nutter and road tyres didnt help... as i said earlier im sure that when he'd just put a bias valve in the car and was messing about with the braking.

That's right mate, met him once at GMC, think he had bought a GTi-R or something? Was great fun and yes used to scare a few things, but not Andy and Charlie hahaha

Pretty sure Jim bought a silver VTS after the AX. Not sure what he's driving now, I haven't seen him for years.
