OcUK Rolling Road Day 14 @ PowerStation (Tewksbury) - August 4th 2012

Thanks for organising the day Gibbo, good to see people again, always a laugh :D

Was the owner of that CV boot ever identified? :p

oh and 213 bhp @ 8300 RPM :cool:

138 lb/ft @ 7775 :o

Awesome figure from your lovely new engine!

That K20 in the civic sounds soo boring on X-over comapred to a B18 :p
 
As funny as it was, and as much as one could argue she was asking for it (or literally paying for it to happen), I think taking photos and posting them is a little creepy what with the lacking consent and all that.

I get that she was posing topless by a window and what not, so everyone was free to look, but she was getting professional photos done and was only consenting to the professional taking photos. It makes me feel really uncomfy for the girl and is beyond creepy.
 
:eek:

Was that literally above Powerstation? I had no idea that anything was up there! Did she not notice you guys down there?

Theres been stuff like that going on at nearly every RR we've had. Certainly the one i went to, a group of girls wearing practically nothing got dropped off at about 9:30 and proceeded to walk by a group of us.

When we made comments the guys from powerstation said theres a modelling agency or something based upstairs ?

Judging by the naked ladies it may even be a porn company though ?

Are you gay? :p There's nothing creepy about looking at boobs... honest.

Btw... VX220 looks FAST :eek:
 
Nearly 200bhp in a Punto. What mods did that have?

Factory Abarth Punto Evo esseesse kit (SS for Supersport) , no additional mods beyond that yet :) pretty tidy performer always punches above its weight at a trackday, being 1185kgs probably helps (although weight of driver does not :D ) along with a nice wedge of torque >200lbs for most of the range and short gearing give reasonable pace, runs out of puff quite quick though due to being 1368cc but on the plus side will do 40-45mpg on the commute :)

Tuned SS kit cars run about 220-230bhp and 260-280lbs of torque, my next target :)

No, not even for pay, and believe me, I have had my fair share of offers.

I agree there is nothing creepy with looking at boobs, what is creepy is taking a photograph of said boobs without consent or knowledge of the owner of the boobs and then posting it for the world to see.

"but hurf, she was topless in the window and we all saw them!" ok, perhaps she didn't know we could see, perhaps she did and didnt mind us seeing them but didn't realise camera phones would be used or were good enough to get a picture.

"but hurf, she was having her photo taken!" but, it was by a professional in a professional enviroment by a professional who had her consent. None of you at the RR had that consent. If a girl has sex on film for a living, or likes having sex infront of an audience, that doesn't give everyone permission to do anything.

We are living in a rape culture and this is just one disgusting and incredibly misogynystic creepy example of it.
 
We later had about 6 of us trying to keep it on the rollers and it still span. :D

Just got in, so here's the photo..

2 in the seats, 2 on top, 2 on the sills :p

If you knew the "type" of girls that have these shots done, you'd know how much horse **** your talking.
They invite you take pics, most of them will even pose for you if they catch you pointing a phone at them.
They get a kick out of it..
Why do you think she was in the window in the first place, because that's not the photography studio window ;)
 
Cheers for arranging Gibbo, was a good day but I was surprised at the overall turn out, much less than I'd expected.

Great day, enjoyed taking the DC2 for a run, thanks for that Muffin, although sorry about the key...I'm glad it wasn't stuck mind. :p

Thanks to -westy- too for driving me up and also for letting me drive to the pub...and overtake him. :D

Mike, the VX220 is mental and that is a big pita about 1st. :( Great to have a ride in it though. :cool:

I'm glad I took a brolly, even if it was just a poncy little one though. Hopefully next time I'll have something interesting.
 
Wish I could've made it myself, did get my tyre fixed and drove down but it was so late in the day I decided just to go into gloucester to meet the people I know there (this is what I'd planned to do afterwards anyway).

On the M5 after tewkesbury I did see a few of you guys though, presumably on the way to birdlip, saw clown in the 350z, assorted mx5s, someone's jdm dc2....!
