Can you bloody believe it? They've only gone and decided to close the Dorset way 'test track' down to 50mph. All the way from Holes Bay to by my house at Ringwood road. What the hell?? Thats my Sunday morning pleasure gone now, my boredome killer, my one last local place of worship. The 2 mile, straight as an arrow dash is no more. I wondered why i had seen so many hidden cameras recently. Mods would edit me out if i were to post my true thoughts.

Notes of condolence below please. Its like the passing of a great figure, or having your balls cut off.

NNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

enjoyed many a fixed distance/rolling start speed test along there. i still commute the upton oil company to just over fleetsbridge strip every morning.

i feel a ghostride coming on.

s. Sadly it's been on the cards for a while.

Every car I've ever owned in a roadworthy state has been flat out down that stretch of road.

[ecain63]

Ive got some great vids from past cars too.

My 205GTi-6 Rally car and my RS6. Both unloaded copious amounts of superjuice along that stretch.

memories... mates cerbera waiting for an s14a and an fto to get out of the way so it could warp. v8m5 spinning in wet at over 100mph late at night, riding along it unaided for the first time back to Pass after passing my bike test... lots of memories.

It was a Red one about 4 years ago. Then turned white with a new shell and i then sold it in 2008 to make way for a more modern fleet.

saw one parked there a few times, had the 1.9 wheels with charcoal centres and a bonnet with an extra lift in the middle. looked stealth but very subtle.

Oh yes! First hand experience there Dan. Remember that stupidly quick 306 we chased? Ive seen it twice since and its got some serious intercooler action goiing on under the front bumper. Im thinking a heavily turbocharged XSi. Quite a common mod on these cars. Was shockingly quick too.

i'm still none the iser. did the 205 auto have a staged up bonnet then?

i only noticed it as i had a fuego turbo years ago with a bonnet that had an extra lift in it, from the factory.

[minimatt1967]

Yes they do, something to do with they way the Automatic gearbox is mounted. Looks good on a GTi though
