it's the most 'interesting' trackday video of mine, as i know how most vids are, you watch the first 10 secs, then fast forward to half way through etc...

the Cadwell vid is good, or when there are lots of PNGers so you look out for other people on track (Donington 14th December 2008) with Oli (dhdev), Adam, smcgsi16v, nathan, Rexy in his ghey Clio etc

11-11-10, 10:33 PM
Nay, I think it was either Trax or PVS in 2009. I remember not having had the V6 in all that long

Was amusing Ernie commenting how it was a good match for his when we were side by side and planting it. Then I informed him I hadn't once changed out of 5th lol

Shame its not like that now. Its running about XE power at the mo, at a guess, and it feels SO slow :(

Spudly
11-11-10, 10:37 PM
You had just had the v6 fitted at the '09 national weekend Jack, as we were marvelling at the shonky wiring hole and that it had not combusted itself on the drive down lol

If you mean the one that was in the champagne coloured nova we pulled it straight out of a mates cav sri :p

White novas were always the quicker ones !

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v306/Jatec/PNG%20Ring%20Trip%202005/ringtrip3.jpg

That was possibly THE worst drive to the ring ever, I remember Olly at one point having only one wiper left working, water pi55ing in through the top of the bulkhead where the fan was missing causing the windows to steam up and puddles on the motorway more like swimming pools lollol

Olly was desperate to just stop where we were and stay in a hotel, however we ploughed on, well I should say floated on and eventually got to Edgars sometime silly in the morning :thumb:

Good bloody times ! first ring trip ever and such a memorable one

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v306/Jatec/PNG%20Ring%20Trip%202005/ringtrip1.jpg

Olly will be back in a nova, I guarantee it !

I can remeber being on the phone to Olly when i started my car for the first time with his old engine in.
Priceless.

I'll be back on track soon enough with a mates car I'm doing, he is up your way so no doubt we will hit Donny so you'll have to come up for some passenger laps, no doubt you will get the bug back quick enough then lol

Hope all is well mate

12-11-10, 03:13 PM
Jason Bourne is the 2nd driver to take me out and have me quiet in the car and then to get out white and shaking!

CP is the other person to have done that to me...

Its a compliment as normally I dont give a toss about driving skills and tend to either whinge or giggle like a child. Olly and CP can drive with such balls out conviction that you are concentrating on holding onto the blood in your upper body etc. The pair of them should atleast once, race competitively in some form of race series with other cars, eg not sprints (maybe not together lol).

Can you sign, Mr Tumble? lol
