Nice vid!

Hopefully (depending on holiday dates/ craig permitting) I'll see you at the next one with dad.

Im hoping a Cerb might be able to take the std/non ruf highest top speed if we can get Washys 438bhp monster along!!!

Its about time someone started putting pressure on zee Germans.

Our Cerb tho, will just be there to make sure me and dad have a right laugh. Though I must admit it would be nice to once again get ahead of the fezzas (its been done before by a Cerb) - my drivings not up to scratch enough though. Dad will be better still, but there are some mean pedallers on PH!!!

Will be a laugh

Craig, you know how you said that previous vmaxxers will always be considered first when it comes to getting places on the event... does it count if I have been there three times as a spectator/ tyre delivery man for rods? Just a little keen to get a place at the next day!

Nice video.

You'd better get that rev counter looked at though Dave, otherwise how are you going to time your optimal upshift just prior to the limiter cutting in?

Joking aside, I believe the erratic needle is one of the early symptoms of an imminent 'big fuse' failure. Someone who knows better than I will doubtless be along soon to confirm/refute this.

Erratic rev counter does normally equal bug fuse (well it did on mine), although I do find when really going for it you do see the rev counter around the 5000+ value go a bit wild

Rev counter has done that since I bought the car. Had the "big fuse" checked yesterday while I had a new starter motor fitted. I think its the counter that's at fault. I listen to the revs more than look so it's not been a problem so far. The change gear beep has only come on three times in the 18 months i've driven it. must try harder
Paddy, Melinda did her best to beat me! I would have never heard the last of it if she had beaten me(from her and you lot on here).
Podie was a "special" visitor and didn't do any runs!

Glad you all liked the vid

There must also be a fair ammount of unused 5th Gear footage too, has anyone tried to ask them. Nicely of course

How come your stick on bits around the windscreen sides are colour coded ?

I see my pal still has his wiggly woggly floppy dangly boom mic! Really ought to get that fixed. I'll ask him if he knows of any spare footage. Looks like it's shot on DV, so it's probably canned already, but you never know...

Great driving both of you, looks likle you had a good laugh.
