Why video the speed man.

acme lives in germany, he only picks up his cars from uk! clearly that video was taken on the autobahn!

Despite living in Germany I have trimmed the video down a bit.

I forgot that the Police search through Youtube videos to find people doing acceleration runs (hint, they don't) so that they can spend loads of resource on proving who was driving the car at the time, whether the car was on a public road, in this country, or even moving (hint, they can't)

I remember when Blackhawk did an acceleration run in his A1, it was obvious (and stupid) as hell

Akagi · 2 Nov 2018 at 10:51

Yes you're right, it does sound quite nice for a 4 banger doesn't it.

Bunch of miseries.

It looks a mess, it may go around a corner once but then the wheel is liable to fall off and you die in a firey boom.

Unfortunately, new job means I've gone from having a company van + fuel card to now having a 30k mile a year commute

Is that the job you were talking about at Curborough?

Yea

going to be a bit different from fitting windscreens.

Edit: the last few years messing with tuning have paid off though

Nice one Phil, properly chuffed for you! I know you're going to really enjoy it so well done.

No but the video is of the Corolla so I don't understand why you said "Sloooowww" if you're not talking about it

Swapped cars to drive a friends daughter and her mates to their prom

who knew they had such awesome clocks in them!!!

I gave them the choice, they clearly have awful taste

the Bentley was fun enough but painfully slow and wafty in comparison (who knew....)

The MX5 will be no speed demon I grant you.

The Corolla was satisfyingly brisk.
