back last night from a great weekend away with friends at the Ring.

Temps were soaring over 30C all weekend. Some accidents per usual and the track shut due to bikes, but overall less accidents this trip than previous trips.

Approx 15 of us went over together.

My mate Steve took his recently aquired GT-R. In may he took his M3 with me and this time the GT-R really was the boss... Knocks spots off the M3.




At Folky, see how the Nissan Dwarfs the 3 series in size...

On the train at Folkstone






My mate Steve took his recently aquired GT-R. In may he took his M3 with me and this time the GT-R really was the boss... Knocks spots off the M3.



My car was going well for several laps, then for the rest went into ''reduced power'' mode on the uphill sections annoyingly... 25K on the re-map and over 130 full bore standing starts and 2 track days and 2 previous ring trips no issue, but this third one in the major heat took its toll.


The GT-R just took all the abuse that was thrown at it. It gripped like nothing else ive been in, the amount of speed it can carry through the corners is immense, the braking is stupendous, carrying so much speed into the bends, and the brakes didnt even brake into a sweat knocking off the speed so quickly.

enough talking, here is some pics..



At calais, this guy had the right idea, R1 in the back of a land rover.




Myself giving it beans.







My mate Tim's db9






Now the beast, Steve's GT-R.






best lap for me in the GT-R was when a N24 Vantage race car, run at the ring (295 euros a LAP) COULD not pass us untill 3 corners from the end. Epic lap and we had a chat with the ex F3 racer afterwards!!

All good fun and cant wait for the next trip.

 

Kinda sounds like you were holding the Aston up if am honest Carl... hardly fair on the paying customer.

Good pics though. GTR's are awesome machines. check out the GTR v GT3 video on autocar. Very cool.

 

Hi Lee, he was 8-10 car lenghts behind, otherwise we would have let him through sooner.. He gained on the last section quite a lot, almost lost it then we let him past.

 

I'll have a sort through the photo's, I know i've got some of the Aston and GT-R

 

ok... we get it... your mate has bought a GT-R

 

Agree totally

 

Why so bitchy?

I found the topic interesting, nice to see someone buying one and using it for what its intended for.

 

Bit OTT for a mod? Some of the shit I see posted on here, and your moaning about some chap talking about a car?

 

We're all entitled to our own opinions!

Regardless of whether i am a mod or not, i still have my own thoughts and views on things ya know! We're not 'brainwashed' when we take on the role!

 

Of course you are, but why open up a thread that by the sounds of it you knew you werent going to be interested in from the title and author, just to be unpleasant?

Doesnt seem like you at all thats all.

 

ROFL

 

I opened the thread because i LOVE reading about Ring Trips... i cant wait to go back there myself.....

Thats is all.

 

 

you couldnt be any more wrong

 

You're pregnant with Rod Tarry's baby?

 

Why do blokes straight away jump to that conclusion lol

My missus can be horrible and out of character and that is when she's not on

 

No Chip... you have to have SEX to be pregnant!


Typical Male Trait unfortunately... women can only have opinions that differ from theres when theyre on their periods apparently! Even then its highly unacceptable!

Anyway.... lets get back on topic shall we!

 

 

I think you missed the joke, I tried to make it even more obvious with my edit but you obviously didnt see that before you hit reply.
You said that someone couldnt be more wrong than that you were on your period, so I was trying to be more wrong

 

Because its so frequently correct

 

 

If you're offering



Why not just stick to being wrong, and leave being more wrong to proper mongs?

 

It wasnt me who was wrong in the first place, I was merely attempting to offer up a solution to the challenge of finding the correct more wrong answer.
So I was correct

 

She wasnt talking to you, she specifically said that it was me who had to have sex to result in a pregnancy, but she's out of luck there cause the mrs would kill me

 

No its not. I've known many women to perk up on their period

 

 

Im just amazed that no one has asked XR2i_Carl if his friend bought the GTR himself or if it was on loan from his dad?

 

If you got pregnant? :cry;

 

Ok.. i'm going to step over the topic detour

i fuckin love this pic... i don't know why, i just do..



I'm not a fan of the GT-R, not even slightly, it's bloody ugly and well, it's got soo many gadgets and gizmo's it'd be better suited in an amusement arcade.

 

Indeed.. ! my ex was nice to me the whole time !!but even if it was the case, i can't see that it would make any difference to the thread, everyone's entitled to their opinions

 

Chip, I think everyone just assumes that anyway!

The N24 has lapped the ring in 7.45 so I very much doubt Carl and his buddies were holding it at bay given the person driving it is likely to have a few laps under theri belt and can probably lap the ring with their eyes shut.

The driver was probably having more fun with his passenger saying....Lets play with this GTR and see if the guy crashes it which judging from Carls post they almost did.

 

Yes mate, im only halfway through losing my belly at the moment and I'd be back to worse than square one if I got pregnant

 

 

So true

 

ROFL, thats fucking brilliant

 

Sweet, loving the GTr and the Aston!!!


You found out what happened to the BM?

 

Really? I thought that the acting was quite wooden and that the storyline lacked any real depth?

 

Yeah but atleast if you got pregnant, you'd be worth a fortune, you could be famous ! or not, of course

 

Not really, i mean it is Van Dam and he did make a film taking the piss out of himself. Have you seen it?

 

Not at all. From what I've seen on here you seem a fairly laid back person, just came across as snappy. Just thought it was a bit of a pointless post
