Will370z Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Well i've been looking forward to today for quite a while. The day they open up the hill climb to members to take their own cars up for the day. Been looking forward to stretching Rosies legs and would be interesting to see how she handles on the twisties and whether she would bottom out on the sharp left hander She did me proud though, was really stiff through the corners with very little roll. Sounded nice too . Trackion control kept stepping in to kill any power when the wheels started to slip but didnt have the confidence to turn that off as the barriers are never far away. Cracked me up when one bloke walked up to Rosie and said "look son there it is, thats a GTR....." i wish Some gorgeous cars there today, a couple of smashing ferraris and loads of buggattis as usual. Even had a day full of sun shince Heres Rosie all prep'd and ready to go Excuse my little rant at the start, i cut most of it. The porsche in front of me floored it before the start to warm his tyres. Net result was he made too much noise and sprayed loads of blummin rubber all over my bonnet from 25 yards away. I was not impressed lol More to come and a little vid. Takes ages on my prehistoric internet connection Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bronzee Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Some lovely cars there. Should Rosie now be called Jaguar, as in the fast 4 legged feline? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisS Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Nice one Will. How to treat a woman.......poor Rosie. All I got to do yesterday was the hairpins near Bala. (both ways of course) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will370z Posted July 16, 2012 Author Share Posted July 16, 2012 Great stuff Will Looks a good day out - did you need any sort of licence to take part? Didnt need a licence, nothing was timed it was just an open day for members to have fun. Was talking to one of the committee about potentially hiring the place out for our club if there was interest but not sure on costs. And im sure the hairpin wouldnt be a good idea for some of the lowered cars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
