  1. Z's a bit harsh but if your after thrills compared to your TT... test drive one, HR if possible... get it in 2nd, 2.5K revs... stamp your right foot, you will be sold lol. It's got some grunt despite them getting old now lol
  2. Iridium ones will do just fine, bit pricey but they do last a very long time.
  3. Stunner. As said not the fastest but the sound and feeling you'll get being in it will be amazing. I'd rather have a 5.0 XKR but I'm biased, as I'm dying to get one lol Oh the Maser's look great in that light blue too!

    Audi S5

    Seen a black one today and unless you are a car nut and notice the tiny body tweeks or mainly the quad pipes, its just a big TDI Audi A5. lol Even an M3 stands out more!

    My Baby...

    The police are gonna love you... lol Yeahhh I think we'll stop this one for some checks eh Jim (dunno why'd he'd be called Jim...sounds good). I do like the transparent coloured perspex for some reason lol
  6. I was sittin at the light in Wishaw main street and you pulled out the other side down towards the Commercial. Seen you further on away up at the roundabout before jag, peugeot etc dealers

  8. Bit of a sad one this, Tartan Tarmac jst put up their new venue..which is great but I wasnt sure how big the car park was...so googly maps and spotted this 296 Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk
  9. First year I went in 2013 and it was my first time so was just unsure. Previous two years were wet or damp so left it on anyway, just decided this year to give it a bash and mostly paid off. Heres the Focus... a lesson in how not to do a good ESP off start. You can hear the car scuddin' off the tarmac lol https://youtu.be/7gdikT8kzfQ
  10. Technique was.... don't break my car lol. Gear changes were quick but they weren't slammed in. For the last few year at Banzai I've always kept the ESP on and been a bit rough with it, tried it off once and just it 'scudded' off the ground as the wheels spun and bounced , but this year I decided to do all the races with it off and just progressively put the throttle down in 1st gear, once your in 2nd its ok. I wasn't fussed for reaction times I'd rather get it as smooth as possible, keep my bloody clutch! and then when its in 2nd hoof it. ,....worked lol (except on the modded ST where I got too jumpy and pushed a bit hard, lighting up the rears lol). You just gotta resist the temptation to plant it in first, you put it down a bit, see how it feels and apply pressure from there at whatever rate keeps the car movin' Wee learning curve for me but I managed it not bad. Oh and in terms of being brutal it'll always feel like that in the Z, there rough feeling things to do such starts with. I held it on the handbrake and either tapped at the throttle or if I thought there wasn't long to go found a bit of bite, dropped the handbrake and went... but didn't slam it down, almost as if you were picking away quickly. Wanted to keep that clutch so just relied on the power after taking off to get me through.
  11. Scorpion exhaust, Cobra Y-Pipe.... thats it lol. Stock HR, 75+K miles, 7 year old and still pulls like a beast lol
  12. Heres some other vids I've uploaded, can't be bothered doing them all takes ages. This ones the 350' against a Type R, not the best start but I didn't need to really worry about that lol.... https://youtu.be/kXCe2rRksTg And heres one of you in your 370 mate against something you didn't need to worry about, as can be heard from my voice ..."you better win this...." haha. https://youtu.be/oGAnIiyY1Hk
  13. Hey mate, yep was good to meet you too, I was running MPSS. I'm sure there could be more to be had than 14.4 out of an HR but possibly not in my hands haha. Great race and a great video of your car haha. Only annoying part of the day was loosing to a stage 1 260bhp Focus ST. I can genuinely say I got a crap start and just 'thudded' off the ground as it set off. Should have won it but didn't lol. I did try and line up with some stuff more equal but was harder than it looked... was either gonna be stuff too slow or ridiculous speed EVO's, so had to settle for some Type R's etc lol...and a starlet at one point haha.
  14. To be fair he had cambered the wheels or something he had said to me so dunno if that makes too much of a difference. He said he had previous before changing bits on it put down a 13.2 1/4 mile, both engines were stock though.
  15. Quick wee video of today at Crail, met this nice guy in the 370. Good close race, both of us seemed to get a good start and the 70' using its little bit more power to pull ahead. Crackin' lookin Zed. (ESP off for both of us). Was wet in the morning but kinda dried up later on. My best of the day ended up being a 14.4 @ 102 mph https://youtu.be/ZFMH5F50PnA
  16. You'd know who you were, I had just turned out onto the main road last night in Shotts. Took me by surprise lol Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk
  17. My friends are lookin for a random little cheap family car and found this black modus not too far away... however behind it... lol Has someone done a hard decision...stuff the family car I'll keep the V6 haha private reg but I blurred that out. Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk
  18. Love the wrap around effect so close to you as you sit....
  19. Well apparently day to day ride quality etc is brilliant and despite it having some scoops etc planted on it the actual shape of it is still a stunner. Even from the 12C upwards its always been a nice shape to look at. If I won the lottery I know where my cash would be going... certainly nothing from Ferrari. They can be as brilliant as they want but there cars aesthetics aren't the best. Somethings missing from the Hurracan too, its a bit...bulky looking. I'm going down to McLaren today to put my deposit down... *stares into empty... cobweb laden wallet...and cries*
  20. Had ones ages ago as a courtesy car and it certainly got the looks from people. Besides a bit more body roll than you'd be used to in the Z its a very nice place to be and rapid. Congrats and Enjoy! Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk
  21. Chris still got his? I've no seen him kickin about in ages.
  22. ..or Mclaren Glasgow ...you'll see this beauty and it really is in person. Stunning thing. Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk
  23. ...Tell him to fill in the gaps. lol
