I missed japfest last year but remember previous ones and the police were everywhere! Although me and an old member on here jonahjones..did manage to liven up our cars somewhat..(on a private road of course) lol. but yeah hitting anything at those speeds in the video could be scary to say the least!

Nice video but scary to watch!

 

When driving down forest roads like that, its likely a deer could get spooked and run into the road. (happened to me and my old car was never the same)

Can you imagine collecting a deer at those speeds. :(

 

Many years ago, Mike Hailwood, in an Iso Grifo with Peter Gethin in the passenger seat, hit a cow in South Africa at a "reasonable" speed. The car took the animal's legs from under it and rolled it over the bonnet.

Luckily, they both had quick enough reactions to duck under the scuttle just before the impact.

 

The car was rebuilt, though - http://mycarquest.com/2011/04/iso-grifo-for-sale-ex-mike-hailwood-and-beatles-magical-mystery-tour.html

Nice roads but if a deer or a moose was to walk out ouch

Does look familiar lol

 

It's highly unlikely to happen in the daytime. If there is daylight issues regarding deer or moose are not worth considering. It's plod you have to watch out for.

Awesome video, if a little scary to watch.

 

my supra has never seen the naughty side of 70. i am extremely offended that someone would sugest that any member on this forum would even consider driving over the national speed limit...even with 600bhp under the naughty pedal. i bid you good day siy :tongue:

 

On another note does anyone know if a supra can go above 70? Has anyone tried?
