Nearly 2 years ago, Calum & I done a charity track day at RAF Marham in Norfolk.
The track was massive about 4 mins a lap! - main straight was the 2nd runway.
Entry speed round a bend onto the main straight was over 80
you were going flat out down the straight for 46 secs (according to the go pro)
got a bit boring to be honest.....
I got my Exige almost flat out - reading 150mph on the clock.
When you had to brake for the bend at the end - you jump on the anchors, thinking you are doing 60 or 70, but you are still doing 100

Two negatives make a positive but only in Scotland do two positives make a negative - 'Aye right.'

Vmax'd the old E34M5 Touring I owned a good few years back, pretty impressive on the Autobahns of Germany driving a 1991estate car at 176mph and felt totally stable with it. That straight six was epic

167 on the GPS in the 340. Clocks were jammed past their max, it still had a bit to go too. Lifted off as lost concentration and started laughing as D was in flyby mode.
Indicated 130 in the S1, for a long time too.

You have an S1 with a K series.. I'll put you out of your misery, you'll get 100mph in a 2 mile strip, 120mph down hill with the wind behind you on a smooth 5 mile stretch

I was expecting a reply something like this... "depends if the AA wagon is speed limited or not"......mwmackenzie wrote: ↑Sat Mar 24, 2018 11:48 amYou have an S1 with a K series..
