Can't wait for the rest, they're excellent.

I'm surprised the Scud passed the noise regs.

Was there a 997 GT2 (comfort by the look of things) there, or was that a 997 Turbo with a GT2 kit?

Also, looks like one of those Porsche 997 Turbos was on the Gumball last year.

You know, I think I've only ever seen two types of photos of that car - either totally crossed up, or totally zymol'd up hehe

It's only ever either being corrected, or being correctedwink

Cheers for clearing that up.

I didn't mean the 997 turbo that crashed, that had Techart wheels. So this one below wasn't at Gumball 2007?

Sorry, I'm making a mess of this topic now.

I meant that white 997 TT with the white blue and red livery was not the one that crashed on the 2007 Gumball Rally (a car with identical livery did on the Gumball last year).

Great pics though!

Haha, sorry I worried you!

I need to get my arse to VMAX sometime and strap the bullet cam to some of the cars! It's been tested to 160mph so far...

Also, what's the slowest modern (i.e. not the 1900s Bentley) car that's been at VMAX, because I'm looking at a Panda 100HP and can't help thinking it would break all the records, but not the one's people aim to break at VMAX.

Looking forward to more photos smile

Award for "sttest lane discipline on the M1 northbound in the morning" goes to this chap.

Resolute middle lane-ism.

Dreadful.

"Short clip of Ultima GTR running 171mph with camera on his foot"

hehe That must make driving difficult!

But on a serious note, nice video, I've put the camera in that position too, but the runway seems to 'dilute' the speed a bit.
