    They rock :clap:

    Quick launch in 1st, shift to 2nd, full throttle, front wheel goes light, clutchless shift to 3rd, 80mph.

    Nothing else comes close. :clap::clap:

    In a rear-wheel drive. vtec powered classic mini-van. while waving.



    3.25-3.35, catches him up and the waves as he overtakes, what a nice motorcyclist.

    He probably was, just a cack handed rider.

    Got to remember to go fast on bikes requires more skill, more balls and better health insurance ;)

    Holy moly - some good driving there. That thing looks like it's a little lively.

    A few motorbikes being a pain in the ass there at around 8 minutes, and was that a coach at ~8:15?! Not the usual fair! :p

    Nope, but he wouldnt let me overtake so in the end I had to force the issue with some late braking.

    Will get my ring vid up sometime I just beeped at every corner lol

    I want to, i really do, and now i've fixed the oil leak, i'm more inclined to give it a try! Especially as it'll be at Donnington :D

    Also I received for my birthday a Ferrarri F430 and Lambo Gallardo race day @ Prestwold Hall Leicester that i have to book, expect photos + videos XD

    I think thats the funniest thing about it, the guy is so calm and collected, not bad for a 160bhp mini with no rollcage, i'd be shitting bricks driving that fast round in something so...unprotected.

    There is a similar video when he races Sabrina in a new mini S, and while she puts on his helmet, he re-arranges his beanie,balls , big balls.

    All I can say is. Great & WOW. Good man! I really want to get on the track asap, but I need to sell one car and put a wiring loom in the other. Makes me wish I had a mini!

    I would be somewhat surprised if the bikers were actually trying. Very surprised in fact.

    I saw that car once and it was absolutely hammering a porsche through the corners, I thnk it was more or less matching it on the straights too. I give theat the tumbs up for working class people like me!

    Yeah I've seen a few videos of this mini. I'd demand a roll cage, helmet and full body armor before I would get in it.

    Aye, you got it... since the new Jetta has been bumped into a higher price bracket, they've given the previous generation Jetta and Golf a facelift and introduced them as a budget version to run alongside the new Jetta and Rabbit.

    Don't mind that .. they've had a decade to work the bugs out ;)
