Can you do one without the music? Much prefer to listen to the engine etc.

Oooh I'll be having nightmares for weeks..... \:D One thing we should also point out is my coupe was also parked right behind that barrier \:o

Flea - did you edit out the bit where I screamed like a girl?

I did the same at Bedford trying to go around the outside of an EVO - thankfully I had about 20 acres of run-off, as I was doing about 120 at the time

That tyre wall looked mighty close \:o

Ouch! Looked like a close one!


It is hard to understand how a cemetery can raise burial rates and blame it on the cost of living

ouch!

I really hate that bit (and the one that follows) with the ever so slight drop that decompresses the suspension and sends you straight to the tyre wall on the right hander... Have seen a few nasty accidents there.

Well done to save it, nothing bend I hope.

I was waiting for the moment to be at Camp corner with all of that dust/smoke, but to go off there must have been truly scary \:o \:D ! Nice video, with the usual good lines and crushing pace on display \:\) .

Thankfully the car was unscathed and after a shakedown lap I was back on the pace ;\)

Despite the little "incident", I had the opportunity to drive a 400bhp Audi TT later in the day, can read more about it in this thread
