    Yeah that's a good one but i also wanted to kind of see what i was doing too.
    Even though i had control i can see sometimes my hands weren't correct.
    Need to clean it up for the next day!

    Continuous improvement :)

    Not a bother, it needs a 50 grade oil as it got a bit ticky on the 0w40 when it got hot.
    Other than that tyres are fecked!

    But yeah, all day basically flat out, 20 mins out and 20 in the pits, no problems to report!

    Yeah if I went again, I'd pop the camera in a few different places I think. Would be nice to have a couple at once. One on the front, one inside watching you. The go again then with one on the side watching the front wheel, and one pointing rearward so you could catch the rears clipping the kerbs.

    Exactly, I'd love that too, but the cost is a big thing :)
    We might move it about a bit more though!
    I might see about getting one more, it was like 50 euro.

    I only caught it on the straights, maybe a little in the corners. Used to take a long time to reel it in.
    Not that we were racing :)

    Nice early one for you, got one video from Autoheroes last night if you want a look :)
    Sorry about the exposure, we had to darken it just to see the track!

    Did I hear you calling my Alfa slow?! :D


    Unfortunately the GTV couldn't keep up with the superior car and obviously superior driver but it didn't embarrass itself..!

    Tyres on the front of mine took some beating though, thankfully I left the country the next day!

    List of excuses for 166man, see above :D

    No I refered to it as a rolling roadblock I think :D

    I'm no superior driver at all, the Alfa was just held back tyre wise, the Autogrips weren't the amazing tyre you thought after all :)

    Is it me, or vw superb is a proper Sunday driver car? :pac:
    Last Sunday I was driving to limerick from cork. When i was on motorway, there was a superb in second lane doing 100. I was driving behind him and waiting to move with no luck. Then I flashed once and still no luck.
    I went in to first lane and just sat there behind him and not undertaking. He still drove nicely 100 I'm second lane.
    Another car bumped on his arse amd started flashing after a while. Still solid 100. A few more cars started to built behind.
    At that point I just undertook him and gone off. All the cars behind him did same thing. Fecking muppet.
    Then got in to town amd there was another superb in front. Cross roads amd he os bombing straight, I need right turn.
    He then with no warning or indicator sharply turns right too, completely cutting my turning arch. I was in pure wtf mode.

    Some people should not be allowed to drive, point blank. And then I get dirty looks for just driving my car...

    Hi Guys I have been having a garage clearout of sorts recently and have put some unused stuff up on adverts. However I have a few bottles of cleaning stuff that were opened but rarely used .I know its a long shot buts it free to any member here to use on their own cars if they be in Sligo area could be handy stuff to use if starting out car cleaning and stuff. Pic attached http://i66.tinypic.com/2reto2v.jpg

    Best of luck with the sale. From the picture it looks like it has no front heated screen surly it does though 1.4 poverty spec mk2 have them. I know it's not exactly key based on the car and what it's capable of just seems a bit mad that an st wouldnt have a way higher spec a standard.

    I'll schtick a big dohrty turbo on mine for next one so!

    Rolling roadblock though I got a good laugh out that :D Autogrips worked quite well in the dry, it was my brakes that saved the day!

    Rathgar/Rathmines area? Trying to think of any of neighbors that have any Alfas..!

    Funny thing is the driveway should have the 156 and 166 in it too! It's positively empty lol :pac:

    No quick clear screen, i agree this is madness.

    Head unit it came with was hilariously crap too, something you would find in a 15 year old transit
