They're truly great. I had one in my Cup before the seat and harness went in, and I now use it daily in my Focus. Good for your posture as well. I have it so tight it almost hurts.

Who cares? I followed one through the paddock tunnel at Goodwood. He gave it a blip, my ears bled.

That looks amazing.

They're the best road/track compromise I've tried...a little slow to bite when cold, but pretty bullet proof once hot unless you're on lap 5.

Good production, direction, and editing, OK driving. Everyone's reacting like he nailed it inch perfect on one run...the tyre marks alone show he was at it all day for the perfect take.

It didn't fail on the numberplate light when it was originally tested? If not, I don't think they'll test it again...I thought they only retested the item the car failed on i.e. your rear brakes.

I said I went over 60mph, not by how much or how often, plus my reg. no. isn't exactly hard to find somewhere on the net...I've never worried about showing it before so why bother worrying now. I thought as the camera was facing backwards it might be harder/not possible to get a read of my...

I vote gash as well.

I'm LOL at the Cup costing more than the 172, and also only being 2 stone lighter. I just wait until dusk before I go anywhere in my Cup, job done.

...or "I fought the South Downs, and the South Downs won". Went out for a serious hack across the local hills at the weekend, camera facing backwards, very little traffic, lots of overtakes and plenty of pace. Stayed out far too long and the Cup didn't do too well tbh, got in a bit of a mess...

They all have massive balls. Great pics Chris.

And seeing as none of them were done on the same day, with the same driver, with the same exact tyres/pressures, with the same fuel load, comparing them to decide which is quickest is a complete waste of time. They're all nippy, the end. Except the 172 Cup which is like sitting inside an ICBM.

I've got the SM1 - great bit of kit so long as you properly clean the surface you're applying it to. Really? I've never had a problem mounting mine internally at any track...just never really been brave enough to stick my camcorder on the outside in a potential 120mph wind!

Was only one of 64. Shame. How many other originals have been de-striped?

It needs stripes.

I get some swellage going on when I read you describing what you do to that paintwork tbpfh.

A mate of mine has a 200 Cup on order (proper Cup that is, not the options). I'm desperately hoping to blag a drive. I love the F1 front wing myself.

LOL it's invincible. Nothing too serious but will take some effort to put right.

That sounds very nice. Like the gear ratios, hardly any drop in revs between 2nd-3rd-4th :approve:

Ah, you see, it's not just the visors, but the interior light and the headlining too. Came in at a useful 5 kgs all in. I've just attacked the South Downs in it, and the Cup came off badly. Vid and pics to follow.

Retired from daily use now, so just get's a track outing or a good kicking across the South Downs every now and then. Sun visors?! Ripped them out 12 months ago...the t**t-strip is an absolute necessity, impossible to drive in low sun without it. Went for mat black to try and make it not so...

Mk1s have me consistantly around Druids, I just can't get the nose in like they can, then I spend the rest of the lap trying to get back what I've lost. Haven't chased any for ages though, great vids.

Trying to sell a kidney. Wife's redundant anytime between now and 31/12 so got to save pennies for now.

Yup, and 55 profile rears with 50 profile fronts...giving the drag racer look.

Spent hours yesterday giving my Cup a going over, then woke up today to find this. I know who it is, same c*** that did it last time - he's a gonna get a right kicking. ;) Looks OK I think, it needs lowering slightly though.

Nope. YouTube?

Nor me.

Oms! Steady girlfriend? Shame, I miss your threads.

I waited until 20:30 before driving mine. Easy.
