LOL - short round.

Fiver says they fit demonstration tyres (wets) short ratios (1st,2nd & 3rd only)
and a reminder of the 40k price tag

Let me know when this happens and I'll come and film it if I'm free.

Slicks, full throttle, and no restrictions

A lot more to say, but after 6hrs on, I've stopped shaking.

 

[goble]

good fun day out then?

 

[m0rk]

yes, very very good day.

first (and probably only) time out with slicks & aero, but they really do work well. exhausting 'work'

we also drove some other cars too

 

[goble]

what track were you at ?? were you restricted in anyway??? speed rpm?

 

[m0rk]

Prestwold Hall, as I said, no restrictions.

 

[F2 Stu]

F##ker.

thats a nice silencer on the back!

 

[goble]

fair play then! something youll never forget ever!

 

[Triple D]

excellent, where was the rear bumper? or have i not looked properly?

 

[goble]

its taken off to fit the silencer as noise restrictions would have been applied

 

[ZBOYD]

I would think it was removed so they could fit the silencer.

They don't usually have the Dalek strapped to the back, but Prestwold Hall obviously have a decibel limit on noise. So they fitted a silencer.

EDIT: Like he said

Did my Ferrari day there, nice little track.

That Leon looks fun

 

[cpufreak]

awesome.

well done m0rk - would love to hear some more coherent thoughts once you've had time to unjumble them

would also be interested in finding out how far off my other car is from it - so guess will have to let you drive it...

I was going to keep schtum, but I can't

Look at the concentration on my face! It took me a long time to settle down afterwards last night, difficult to describe, not "buzzing" in a wired way, but just a kind of sensory overload.

I WANT ONE

Thanks SCN, m0rk and Zboyd. Thanks Peter, Jason and Mike. Thanks SEAT UK

Any of my pictures come out m0rk? I remember grabbing your camera after jumping out the car but the lens was wobbling that much...

 

[ZBOYD]

Hope you didn't mention the Vankerwagen

Sounds as if you had a lot of fun, glad you enjoyed the experience. I wouldn't of fit past the roll cage let alone got in the seat.

I'm full of man flu so even if i had remembered about the press day I still wouldn't of made it.

I'm happy that occasionally we can share some of the little perks with other SCN members though.

 

[m0rk]

[goble]

you get any photos of in the car??
was it just a practice or spare car??

 

[m0rk]
