WhackyWill Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 (edited) This is one great driving video in a old 911 at Spa Historic weekend. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=CvDD8V9Liq8 Edited April 4, 2014 by WhackyWill 2 Quote
AliveBoy Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 slightly off topic, but surely he needs to move back a bit? A reasonable sized off and he's going to break both legs?! Quote

There's enough weight at the back already, my old 911 handled like that just on the road..!! I dont think he means weight. More that his knees are already on the dash. Take a spin / hit a barrier and there will be broken bones. 1 Quote

Daryl Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 JESUS, the fact he was properly sideway at Pouhon and Blanchimont and overtaking other cars, thats some balls righ there. 2 Quote
GMballistic Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 Great driver and fantastic to watch. Regarding the seating position ~ If he sat further back to accommodate his long legs then he wouldn't be able to reach/control the steering wheel properly as his arms are not long enough. Unfortunately for him I just think he's one of those people. Has to sacrifice some leg room for proper hand/arm control. Thanks for posting Will. 1 Quote

stuarty Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 ^^ Well that's the end of his test drive I think. I was going for a test drive in a 370z today and my mate posted that video on my facebook as a warning of what not to do! Quote

Yeah, read my post "knee injuries" from today, kinda sums things up for me just now, lol. Quote
GIXXERUK Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 It would be faster with the lights removed and more air cooled if he took the doors off Quote
WhackyWill Posted April 4, 2014 Author Posted April 4, 2014 Think this guy could do with watching that video! http://www.petrolhea...gt3-test-drive/ Woops..! Easiest car to get wrong..I worked at Millbrook for Driving Ambition and we used 911 so easy to get wrong on the handling circuit especially in the wet. Quote
pmorg4 Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 Nice! What version of the 911 is that… I'm guessing 930? Quote
WhackyWill Posted April 4, 2014 Author Posted April 4, 2014 (edited) Nice! What version of the 911 is that… I'm guessing 930? All I can tell you is Romans 911 is a 1965 vintage. Here are some pics of the 911. Edited April 4, 2014 by WhackyWill Quote
pmorg4 Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 Looks fantastic. I think that's pre-930 but I don't know what the older models were labelled. Quote
Ceejay29 Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 Amazing video, a very competant driver there. So much oversteer, looks like great fun. Quote
GIXXERUK Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 (edited) Fast and loud renovated a 1966 911 Iirc the 356 preceded this, originally called the 901 but Peugeot had a moan and they changed it to 911 Edited April 4, 2014 by GIXXERUK Quote
