Oh NO! I Lost control at 95mph today on a bend... WITH VIDEO

[Rory]

then again about 5 mins later on the same bend doing 85mph! Luckly it was on an airfield and i didnt hit anything!!

Had a fantastic day at North Weald airfield today with the MG owners club. It was only £35 for the whole day! Managed to kill a set of Toyo Proxys but had so much fun!!!

There was a few circutis setup and a high speed bend and drag strip. I won the drag racing (obviously beat all MGs present by miles). The only person close was a guy in a little Lotus Elise. Check out the video below. Its not me losing it on the high speed bend though.

EDIT - Link changed to point at low quality google video version of the same video due to the fact that ive run out of bandwith to host any longer

Excellent video mate! Car sounds awesome!

[The-Shield]

Agreed, your car sounds quality. Is it an NUR Spec and what other mods are you running?

I cant see details in Garage.

[Rory]

Yeah its a rev 2 with Nur Spec, downpipe, CT20b, and ST205 CC. It was by far the loudest car. Good job there is no sound limit at North Weald

I've got to get me an NUR spec, just makes the car sound evil.

Makes me feel inadequate with my Fujitsubo Legalis R

[Goldy]

Sounds like a quality day.... nice vid by the way..... theres nowt better than tear arsing about and shredding tyres eh

[Rory]

Perhaps i better point out that thats not me driving my car in the video. It is my car but not me driving. The guy filiming didnt get a video of me driving You get the idea though! The day was fantastic!

[Mark Edwards]

I read the title and thought......

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!

Cool little vid there mate.

[Rory]

This is a video of the same guy driving my mates impreza type R (3 door version with amazing handeling).

As you can see theres nothing in it really! What he gains in the corners I gain in the straights!

Think you have just won me over on saving for the nur spec aswell!

[pete h]

cool vids mate, does sound awsome. =D>

[Rory]

Think you have just won me over on saving for the nur spec aswell!

Your right it does sound awsome. To think i wanted to sell the Nur Spec a couple of weeks ago because it was too loud too. Glad I didnt!

Rory

[The-Shield]

I think you should be fair on your neighbours and swap for my Fujitsubo...

[Spittinflames]

Car sounds great m8, although i think the downpipe has a lot to do with that, i swear my nurspec dont sound like that :s (i have cat still in place)

Love the second video of you vs scooby.... not much in it at all... excellent vids =D>

I really need to do a day like that

LOL. Its not normally £35. Check out www.1stlotus.com IMOC could probably organise a day for less on the same airfield with the same people running it.

This is me racing a BMW on the day and owning it. It put up a good fight though.

What was the format of the day, open pitlane? Was it marshalled?
