Will370z Posted August 24, 2014 Author Posted August 24, 2014 Is dan practising the roger Moore pose there. Don't remind me of that dam Lexus Hayden, can't believe how one driver can make his car wide enough to fill the entire track and cause a queue at Bedford Quote
Ekona Posted August 24, 2014 Posted August 24, 2014 Wouldn't have been so bad if he'd been predictable, but he was all over the place which meant passing him was hit or miss. In hindsight, I probably should've spoken to the marshalls about it. Quote
Ebized Posted August 24, 2014 Posted August 24, 2014 Absolutely brilliant day! As Haydn says, would be great for something like this to become an annual get-to-gether on the calendar. But many, many thanks especially to Dan, Will, Karl and Chris for the passenger rides - all different but so enjoyable in their own ways. And the grins as drivers and passengers came in from each run was confirmation of just what a fun day that was. Oh, and must record we even had a certain Tango 240z turn up at the end of the day with its new wheels and hope I didn't get you lost on the way home Darren ....... Oh, might have some pics/vids once I get some editing done. Quote
coldel Posted August 24, 2014 Posted August 24, 2014 Looks a brilliant day people - shame I couldn't make it would love to have seen that variety of cars bombing around, and can't wait to see the Pumpkin! Quote
Keyser Posted August 24, 2014 Posted August 24, 2014 Here ya go - completely un-edited just 2 laps round the track - I'll get some better stuff up later 7 Quote
Humpy Posted August 24, 2014 Posted August 24, 2014 Here ya go - completely un-edited just 2 laps round the track - I'll get some better stuff up later That's sounds nuts and looks immense fun! Think I want one More vids please, really enjoyed that! Quote
brillomaster Posted August 24, 2014 Posted August 24, 2014 Crikey Moses that's not hanging around! Sounds insane as well! Quote
GMballistic Posted August 24, 2014 Posted August 24, 2014 Great little video Keyser. Was watching it come out of the pits just thinking surely there can't be any revs left but it just kept going! What's the rev limit on the Frogster then? like 10.5K or something. Quote
Keyser Posted August 24, 2014 Posted August 24, 2014 Great little video Keyser. Was watching it come out of the pits just thinking surely there can't be any revs left but it just kept going! What's the rev limit on the Frogster then? like 10.5K or something. !2,500 is on the limiter mate First run out we managed 125mph on the back straight Me an Keyser Junior said we wanted 135mph by the end of the day and got 136 Last solo run I got brave and managed 140 Looks like I also broke my suspension on my last 20 minute hoon Just off to strip it down and assess the damage - more on that later. Trust me that little car is epic fun - completely different to the Zed on track but the grin factor is possibly even more 1 Quote
HaydnH Posted August 24, 2014 Posted August 24, 2014 (edited) What's the rev limit on the Frogster then? like 10.5K or something. It's an R1 engine, so rev limit of 13750 I believe. EDIT: or 12500 then. Edited August 24, 2014 by HaydnH 1 Quote
GMballistic Posted August 24, 2014 Posted August 24, 2014 12,500 rpm, ..wish the Zeds could rev that high. It's like the Energizer bunny, just keeps going and going and going... Quote
Ken Posted August 24, 2014 Posted August 24, 2014 What a brilliant brilliant day and what a turn out. Good to see Graham,Colin and Darren coming along to support. New BMW performed better than i thought it would with no modification yet following our purchase just a few weeks ago. Highlights of the day, Amy being helped out of Karl's Lotus after a few quick laps Chris trying to shoehorn himself into the green frog Karl's expert advice on improving my track skills and some very very impressive passenger laps in his Lotus, was like hornet on steroids. A big thanks Karl A great day. This is fast turning into a monthly meet/event, make a note in your diary for the next one, can't wait. 3 Quote
Ebized Posted August 25, 2014 Posted August 25, 2014 OK, got the video sorted although some of it is a bit shakey Another excuse is that there are no formal spectator areas at Bedford but a kind marshal let me join him at his post by the pit entry and it was bloody exposed Anyways, five vids strung together: 1st - The new Beemer of the 3 desperados - Brillomaster/Ken/Will370 2nd - 911 Porsche of Ekona 3rd - 350 Roadster of Haydn 4th - Hissing Sid of Keyser with Haydn chasing 5th - The Beemer again but afraid I have no idea who was driving then, or in the 1st part Best to play in full screen 1 Quote
Ken Posted August 25, 2014 Posted August 25, 2014 (edited) Some pics from our day. And the red one was not in our crowd. Edited August 25, 2014 by Ken Quote
Will370z Posted August 25, 2014 Author Posted August 25, 2014 Nice pics and good video Colin. Awesome to see Haydn chasing Keysers down. Haydn I will say it again your car sounds awesome. Our Beemer does look darn right evil all blacked out Quote
HaydnH Posted August 25, 2014 Posted August 25, 2014 Nice video of me stuck behind a green thing there Colin... Well he's slow at posting videos. (or maybe I have no patience) Quote
HaydnH Posted August 25, 2014 Posted August 25, 2014 That was Brillo in the passenger seat btw, only passenger I had all day. Quote
brillomaster Posted August 25, 2014 Posted August 25, 2014 Our Beemer does look darn right evil all blacked out Haha yeah you know its a dark tint when the tint is darker than the black paint! looks surprisingly flat through bends which is good. Quote

Keyser Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 Oooh Will, there's a photo of your mate: http://www.msvtphoto...vhx/13639311802 Haha there is captain slow.
