Hehe, good thread this...

I passed my bike test before i did my car test (7 years ago now), and i was all bike bike bike until i got my first car when i was 20.

When i first got my rx7, i couldnt believe how fast it, raced scoobies and beat (4 of them now), all the usual hatchbacks etc, and i just love pushing audi tt\'s to one side :cool .........but what shocked me the most one day was when me and the girlfriend were on the way to look for an mr2 for her........

on the a** test track cruising nicely along at around 85mph in the fast lane, as i had moved over for the oncoming slip road coming onto the a** test track, and this 04 R6 comes flying out the slip road and undertakes me.......i thought right, lets give it some.....

and i just could not believe it ....we were gaining on him ...caught up with him (he was flat on his tank, flat chat), and then we moved to the inner lane and pulled up next to him ...he jus looked over at me in disbelief....and iwas in shock......being a biker and knowing just how fast r6\'s are.....that is what has shocked me the most.


Dan!!

[Ows]

Dan that is s*** hot man. cant wait until summer when all the bikers are out so I can have a go. Will have to spec my car up a bit for that though.

[Dan Norton]

Yea, i seriously couldnt believe it myself, thank god i had my missus as a witness otherwise people wouldnt believe me


Deffinatly give the bikers ( one could be me tho ) a push along and see what happens

Me too, when my car goes for its single turbo and rebuild.....cant wait for next summer

Certainly from  a standing start the bikes would have it....but roll on from like 70/80 mph, then you have a great chance.

Dan!!

Had I go with a Ducatti a few weeks back coming off a roundabout, neck and neck to 80mph, then he pulled ahead. no contest on the corners though, he was dust.
 Anyone know where I can get some faster headlights? I\'m fed up with the headlight beam dissapearing over my shoulder.

not an FD, but i have a FC, and have had a play with these,

BoxsterS.......kill
Calibra turbo.......kill
Audi TT.......kill
Astra turbo.......kill
Integra Type R.......kill
Celica GT4.......kill
VW Corrado (VR6 or G60 duno).......kill (about 1 hour ago!!
and all the usual chav-mobiles,

Levels with BMW M3 (E36), Escort Cosworth (maybe he wasnt trying??  )

o and lets not forget the Audi RS4 that i got completely walked over by lol, :p

Kept up with a stunning Tuscan S on the way back from le mans this year.  Not a kill but I wasn\'t killed.  Both cars 2 up with full camping gear on board.

The Tusc sounded sweet though.

 Know what you Iain:D dont know if it was the same gaggle that we played with on the way back I played with a blue Tuscan S out of the packand killed it:D  I think the best was the 911 rsr fully stripped, full roll cage, the look on his face when we were side by side pulling 7.5k+ and he could not get away from me, if I had been 1 up and without the full load I recon I would have had him:cool

Class!  Not sure if it\'d have been the same Tiv though - you and Gary were quite away ahead of me after my passenger sabotaged the navigation!

Are you planning on another trip this year?  It\'d be good if we can get a few more along this time...

We came across about 12 \'trevors\' ala convoy stylee - bounced in between them till one bit, luck would have it the Tuscan S he must have thought twas time to to show the way of the trevvoorrr - sent him away with his tails between his legs:wave  don\'t mess with de REX:D

Don\'t know about this comming year - spent loads of time sorting it without to much response - maybe someone else should try organising it..........................will be hopefully going anyway.

I have just bought the white single turbo form brian ellis.  517bhp at the fly.
Will keep you posted on kills:D

When im home i always frequent the wangan for the big monthly meet we have here. You get all sorts from the ultra rare ford RS 2000 and ferrari F40\'s to he usuall skylines and supras. My car is amount a handful of RX7\'s that will keep up with 90% of what runs against me. The main things like the ultra GTR\'s, supras and super cars (ferrari, lambo\'s and the likes) i tend to just not bother. Last time i was out i run and beat a porsche 911 gt3, the owner seemed suprised until i gave him a passenger ride, then he understood why he fell behind
