Chaps,

For those of us with large internet pipes feel free to log onto.

http://www.m3euro.com

I've put the small and large PE rolling road vid's up.

It's also behind a 4mb internet link :)

Beware one of them is 55mb

Cheers

Gareth

Who's driving in 'Gareth's driving movie'? Whoever they are they look far too young to be behind the wheel of such a potent beast!

It certainly sounds fast...but then so does my 360 :)
As long as it sounds fast it doesnt matter how fast it really goes, right? :)

cheers

james

That's Gareth and I'm the one ****ting myself in the passenger seat, had been passed at roughly 170mph by a Ferrari 360 and Porsche GT2 racing eachother and I think that was just about enough to finish me off :)

Gareth's not THAT young..I'm worse :) He has 2 kids and a woman!

Good to put a face to a name (and a scared voice in your case!) :)

Im guessing you werent as scared as I was last summer being taken for a trip in a totally stock 'E' plate 1.0 mini city down a huge hill at 85mph. Doesnt sound scary...but it IS..especially as we had had the brakes off that morning :)

Anyway, I must meet some of you crazy kids some time. AFAIK its only me and Pete M down here in the south west, but if you folk are heading down this way for an event or whatever, we should be able to sort something out. Unfortunatly, I joined the forum just after the haynes trip. :(

cheers

I dont think I'm that young... Well hmmm 23 :)

Alex is even younger... he's only 12 :)

(Sorry mate)

I also need to point out that these videos were filmed on a private road away from the public highway.

The craziest place i've been to in Enland has to Machester. The drivers are complete nutters.... COOL! ;)

LOL! he knows some naughty words for one so young....!

Would that be the same variety of private road which clearly has a 40 limit sign in the 0-60 run video? :)

The irony is that when we go out locally for a late night drive the only 40+ roads for miles are lanes - and which is safer?! still the lanes are fun - 50mph with the undergrowth hitting both sides of the car :)

cheers
