Drivers Run/F-Chat Top Speed Challenge Sat 30th July 05

Just had a trifle too much to drink tonight on top of a 5am start today, I think I'll be safely tucked up in bed at 9 tomorrow

Have a good day guys.

 

A cracking morning today, sorry I had to leave so early.

A BIG thank you to:

Chaa, Albert V8 and MOD500 for the passenger rides. Fantastic fun.

Chaa - loved the 355 mate, and sounded brilliant. Makes me want one.

Albert - what can I say, I haven't stopped grinning. 191mph!!! Awesome

MOD500 - Loved your car too, didn't realise how well those things handle.

Barabaus, hudson, badapple, Steve456, Dave11J, closeshave, good to meet you guys either for the first time, or again.

Hope you had a great afternoon, and look forward to meeting up again soon.

Nigel.

 

cheers 2 albert v8 n chaa 4 takin me out it was crazy init

 

Yea, just got back from Bruntingthorpe to rest for a few hours before i go with DR to see the movie tonight. Cars of the day for me was the F40 and the 575, awsome. The F40 was killing every thing it came up against including F430s and CSs. As for the 575 not so quick of the lines but once the big V12 came into play, it left, went, great car. Alot of quick 911s there as well including Martins 993 and his mates Robs awsome 600 bhp monster.
As for my own efforts i bought a knife to a gun fight with my best at 167mph, the b*stard runway was not long enough for maxing the 355, Memo: i must get the Nos sorted out for next time.
Yea good morning all in all but if i had brought the 430 it would not have made no differance to the 600 bhp 911s or indeed the mighty F40.
MB: oh yea i spun the bloody car trying to keep up with the 4wd 600 bhp 911 on the build up corner.

 

Yea good day Thanx to Davy Jones Closeshave who took me to 184MPH

Bad luck Albert on the headlight

Ok sulking over. I miss you guys way too much Hopefully others will return too.

Brilliant day!

This in my opinion is when this forum F-Chat works at its BEST!

Its about meeting up, sharing rides and leaving with huge grins on our faces.

191mph Not bad for a car that will soon be considered a classic!

Beat GT2s, Lamborghini Murci, Porsche Turbos.........

Happy days!

The only thing that beat me today was a B-Reg Porsche, the 196mph king. Anyone tell me what the hell that car is?

BIG THANK YOU to the Drivers Run team and Closeshave. Whens the Modena trip mate, sign this boy up

Hopefully the party and premiere goes well this evening! I have to work tomorrow so sadly had to dive out early

I have Calenders i need to distribute so if TomW, Hedge & Gibbsa could give me a PM i'll drop them off to you anywhere, anyhow. But it will be in my Fiat Panda

Working on a short video, will post up a link when i'm finished. No girls in Bikini's i promise

PS Does anyone know what kind of knock i'm gonna take for a replacement F40 headlamp?

 

Great day in the end i managed 176mph (i think 6th gear is too long)

The girls didn't want to clean the insects of the front of my car for some reason

Good to meet you Chaa and Albert and others sorry can't remember your names

Sorry to hear of the damage to your headlamp especially AS IT OCCURRED ON THE PUBLIC HIGHWAY ON THE WAY TO THE EVENT!!!!!!!!
What exactly is broken? Is it the plexi-glass cover? It may be cheaper to get one fabricated and bonded than buying a new one (if you can find a new one!) or you may have to resort to an insurance claim!

 

Alberts poor headlight plus flies

Sounds like a good day, what took the 'fastest on the day' title, that "B reg Porsche"?

 

Guess so, the little yellow 'B' reg 'Porsche', which is actually a Ruf CTR aka 'Yellowbird' did 195mph.

 

Chaa PM me your email i have a very short video of you off the start line

Not one of your best tyre smoking,clutch burning affairs but still ok

 

Dave,

I didn't realise that was you in the 430 otherwise I would have said hello.
Catch you next time,

Nigel.

PS. I got all the girls phone numbers for next years calendar.

 

Do you know, come to think of it, i didn't check the car after i came off the motorway

Thanks guys

Videos soon.

 

They keep harking on about being treated as equals so if the models wanted the car moved back for the photo shoot they can push it!

I ain't starting the engine for that

 

FACT

F40s eat Lamobo Murci's.

Enjoy , i have so many more runs but this one gave me the most satisfaction.

 

Geat video Albert , I cant believe I had to work and missed it all.

 

Nice vid - looked like a close race.

Rick

 

I was in the lambo. There was no comparison. Albert left it for dead.

 

Nigel i need Alex's number. She kept hassling me for a date and i just kept saying no. Feel guilty now

 

I was the one screaming like a 12year old school girl in the F40, what a car. Cheers for the lap Albert.
Nice to meet Hud90n, steve456, chaa and Davy.
Hopefully we don't have a video of me driving like a **** spinning out all over the gaff.

 

Martin, cheers for the lap. Your misses clocked what speed?

 

Don't start, I've not heard the last of it.......she got 159 and 160 for me.
