  1. Thats one seriously fluffy dog (GSD?)........ must hate getting bathed Cars looks good as well
  2. ASDA On Your Marks this weekend just passed and what an awesome event. Lovely weather, lovely cars, great people and some many fans of the GTR! Many of whom have only every been up to 70MPH What a surprise for them when the GTR passes 70 in 3rd gear, before we even hit the first corner, which is flat out in 4th gear so was exiting the corner at 110-118MPH For ages a friend has been telling me to take his R33 (sprint car, stripped, caged, ohlins suspension, ap brakes, 700+hp) out and it always had minor issues (like misisng 3rd gear, missing 4th gear, then he killed the block, then the head, etc), but I finally got a chance to drive it. what a different animal altogether!! Absolutely loved the mental machine!!! Single turbo, no power below 5k rpm, but when the turbo spools WOW!!!! The big difference for me was the handling..... it was just sublime and really showed off the weight and handling difference between the 2 GTRs. Took a few passengers out in it and we were all just giggling like little girls the whole way round ..... The cars Stig and our resident stig
  3. Sadly yes.... GTR is red and never been a fan of multiple cars in the same colour for some reason. I do like the red though It will definitely be colour and black accents, wheels (already done), fender mirrors, arch extenders, rear spoiler Thats lovely, I know an orange one.... still tempting though
  4. I know 2 people with them.... so trying to find something different and unique that I can live with. I cant live with neon pink!
  5. that looks much better Love the spin at the end
  6. Thanks too many 260s in that colour for my liking........
  7. is that meant to be a video? Only a picture for me
  8. Me too, although organisers seem to be losing track of what the event is all about! Same:- -cameras - CHECK -jerry cans - CHECK -new r888r - CHECK -650bhp - CHECK -Paul bringing even more extra fuel - CHECK Hell yes, I have the day off and we will be leaving London somewhere between 10 & 11am
  9. ASDA Day this weekend I get to scare people that have never been in a GTR around Bruntingthorpe.
  10. Starting to look like an actual car again
  11. classic mini? My missus built her insurance up on that, wasnt expensive, was great fun to drive and looks awesome (IMO).
  12. Maps are of interest to me Thanks for info
  13. Nice, Im out in Japan for 28 days from the end of March cant wait!!
  14. no, its the non-race license for sprinting, but a friend has the same and its enough for test days
  15. Is it one of the days that requires a race or non-race license? Just waiting for our licenses to arrive
  16. Been doing some reading on this and apparently the MX5s dont suffer from oil surge, even on the full track prepared cars running slicks, hmmmmm
  17. Good point.... I brimmed fuel and tested that (which it wasnt), so oil is a good point looking at battery (still has a battery with Japanese text), earth and alternator first, but I will ask the mechanic.
  18. Completed another day at Goodwood, was an awesome day out! Went with a friend, he took his Renault megane track slag and his 730bhp GTR, we took the MX5 and our 650bhp GTR. There was another MX5 there.... The SCd MX5 is absolutely awesome it was so quick on the day, surprised so many cars! Kept catching a 500bhp Jag passed a Porsche Boxster GTS. Also surprised some AMG mercs, all of which were quicker on the straights, but stood no chance in the corners. In fact, the car handled so well, that I am tempted to put the rails and braces on hold and only adding the ARBs. Semi slicks will be a great addition to this car, once the current tyres die. However there is now an interesting issue where when hot and corning hard, the power is cut and then half a second later its back... not the best feeling when pushing on through a corner!

  19. Awesome! Need to see if I can find an emulated version of that
  20. http://www.speedhunters.com/2014/04/twin-engined-monster-suzuki-escudo/
  21. thats pretty impressive then.....
  22. if that was high speed, doesnt look like much broke off.... normally cars crumple to save the occupants. Did some how make it over the barrier though OUCH!
  23. Well since the GTR has stayed red (no wrap) I need to find a new colour for the 240z Starting to dry fit parts before the respray Wheels look a little wide
