I'll add you to the maybe list mic. Will be good to see your car up close properly now we know how much of a weapon it actually is (Very confused the day you passed Kostas STI like he was practically standing still)

Rybo, Andrew. Does this mean you're both coming then

 

[agw_01]

Put me down as a maybe! I've got a lot of jobs to do on the car (and a lot of money to spend) before September, haha

 

[Rybo89]

Why not.

 

[Marvin]

I would very much like to attend, but I'll check the dates first.

Put you in the maybes, you own a Z4 IIRC?

 

[Marvin]

I might not be in the country then, so maybe it'll be for now. E39 M5. Did have Z4s though!

Nicely, how does it mount? Suction cups?

Aye, pretty neat bit of kit

 

[Foghorn Leghorn]

Aye, pretty neat bit of kit

That's not coming off anytime soon

Do you think it might attach to the side of, say, a motorbike?

 

[Frozennova]

They rate it for 5kg and 150mph so I hope not.

I'd imagine your pretty limited for mounting one on a bike, about the only place that would work would be the front fairing. Probably better off with a GoPro.

Im only using this instead of one because the mount was £79 and used GoPros are £120ish

 

[Micloi]

You can get the same effect by using a long shutter time (circa 20 seconds) and pushing the car very slowly forward for a few inches while using this mount. That way you do not risk it coming off the car at high speed and destroying your DSLR.

 

[kindai]

Only 3 weeks guys!

 

[ReAPeR101]

Very much looking forward to this.

Hopefully I can get an 11 this time round

I am still up for this. 2 of my friends might be coming aswell, 1 has another STI and other a E92 M3.

Anyone know how busy it will be? Being a saturday i am guessing proper rammed and will only get 2-3 runs in a push?

On a bad day you'll get 5-6 runs. Last time we all went I think I got 10 runs in, and I could have probably got another couple in

Edit: Going to setup a shift buzzer on my digital gauge next weekend as I think where I'm actually changing gear is nowhere near where I should be, and I have a new ignition map too which should pickup a good chunk of power past 6500rpm

We arrived earlier at the last meet so were more or less at the front of the queue. It wasn't that busy as most people arrive a little later on. In march we didn't get many runs as it was busier.

We've always arrived at the same time? March was the last time we went which was the day I got 10 runs
