Good point, that was early in the morning though - Fox missed that because he couldnt get out of bed.

and he managed to find the 'cheltenham martial arts academy' something I never knew existed........

relaxed? blimey what turbo petrol have you been in?

Wills scoob was far from relaxed, and I know mine is nothing like relaxing when the turbo kicks in.

dling vid now

only turbo petrol I think was daves VXT, it genuinely felt like there was no turbo :eek:

Conanius · 3 Oct 2004 at 21:15

just noticed something in merlins vid.... 5:08.. you see gilly 'praying for a good result' ... look at his reaction near the end when the revs are picking up :eek:

Must be a fairly small turbo then, Most give a good kick when the boost comes in.

im sure dave can confirm, but id guess its due to the level of tune + weight

Two cars i was most impressed with was the Vette (obviously) and Simon's - damn quick. I had a right job putting distance between me and him on the M5. Stuck to my arse like glue till i got to 5750 rpm then i slooooowly edged away.

he has a fantastic video when he had a dodgy exhaust when he chased a scooby, I was very impressed !!!

Conanius · 3 Oct 2004 at 21:38

si - the 235 is another story...

on that point merlin, i was gonna e-mail powerstation thanking them for the day, are you still gonna do what we spoke about on saturday?

I'll email Rich tomorrow and see what he says. Basically i want my money back, he let me go on knowing the front rollers weren't reading right.

Bit naughty imo.

well, the way I was gonna phrase my e-mail was 'fantastic day out, cheers, BUT we want to make this a regular thing, is there anything you can do for our guy who had the dodgy reading with his scoob due to your rollers being out?
as we said, its easy money for them, they would be mad to drive us away from them. Plus, it means ill have to drive somewhere :eek:

That first clip of yours with the engine on overrun is simply awsome. OMG the sound.

yes, the sound, thats STILL ringing round my ears :eek:

sorry for putting you last beany, its just I knew id be darting about sorting stuff out here and there, and i was desperate to watch your car

Conanius · 3 Oct 2004 at 22:12

merlin, Ive done a quick scrawl to send to them, can I let you have a read before I send it to check your ok with it?

Nice video. Are there any pics to go with it?

I might tag along to the UJCC rolling road day at Interpro (Bristol), see how their rollers compare. Maybe it could be an alternative location?

if you could that would be great, im happy to organise these things, but if we have a lil meeting on IRC/MSN or whatever with a few of the 'regulars' then we can agree on a location and date, then the others can sort of agree or whatever
what I should add however, if im aranging it, im not doing anything till april/may time (as in thats when it would be) we need to give people a chance to mod

Why have the first two so close together then wait ages till the next one? Surely new year would be better?

basically, a lot of people who ran in the first meet either hadnt managed to get their mods done, or didnt intend to run because they hadnt done anything worthwhile. The other reason is ill have my new car by then

edit- Merlin - Ive sent you that mail mate

I dont get back till late tho, so if you have anything to add, modify, feel free

TBH although the engine in mine is more powerful, the car weighs the best part of 1.6 tons and although it still pulls well up a hill, the sheer weight of the thing hinders it somewhat.

You were *just* about holding me up, but that was it.

im a moment of madness to catch up merlin did I forget to move over for you ? :rolleyes:

@ me

Nah that's ok, you just provided me with a good excuse.

I can claim I was stuck behind you whilst you got wasted by merlin

He wasted me earlier on the M5 anyway.

hehe

you should get that car revo'd or whatever it is for VAG units, could prove interesting

we all know secretly, he arrived in the layby opposite the hungry horse many hours before the event, and sat there polishing and cleaning his car
