perfect jim!

we should try organise well in advance so no fluffing nearer the time... (im one for that.. lol)

[jimGTI-T]

Sounds perfect!

The earlier we arrange, the better for me too, apparently I have to book 'time away' from the missus at least 1 month in advance now.... 

[SteveS]

LMFAO,

im also crap for organising so i think someone should nominate themselves!!!

and ill ask again, does this forum do standssss?

[joesgti]

we should all go down to bug jam in the summer, camping at the pod for 2 nights loadz of crazy cars and dance tent. 

[SteveS]

any drag stips?

[joesgti]

yea its at the pod, they have rocket cars and stuff all day long, last year they had a monster truck show and stunt driver in a civic type r. anybody can go on the strip in their car. wouldnt like to get against that beatle rocket car though 

[SteveS]

coolio. shame they dont do 0-60 at pod. id like to know what that is

[joesgti]

why not time it yourself........
1. get your phone
2. wedge it in your steering wheel so the camera is facing the spedo
3. turn your video camera on your phone on
4. press record
5. from stand still FLOOR IT!! 
6. go home and put the video on your computer
7. on the screen from when you hit 1mph to 60mph time it using the time bar at the bottom of the player.

this i believe is a good way of timing 0-60. wait for some dry weather though

Cue mobile phone smashing you in the nose! 

Agree with the dry weather comment, wheel spin in 3rd is not fun.

Nor was the traction control light flashing on the M25 during the 'flood' last Friday...at 75mph...mummy...
