An evening out with my Cup...

[MarkCup]

...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 and it'll take a while to sort out I think

Short version

And for the die-hard among you a full length one

Am I likely to get nicked from the long one? I think there's maybe one or two times you can tell that I breached 60mph...

Giant fly swat.

Whats that weird sound at ca. 3min50??

 

[Jaws]

Lol at putting your plate right on show. Doh!

 

[CHRIS172CUP]

Cool little vid mark. Have you had the front resprayed? Far to clean for your car

 

[trailerparktrev]

Lol at putting your plate right on show. Doh!

I thought that too!

 

[Englebert]

LOL, i would remove them pronto! I know its paranoia, but still... i wouldn't risk it.

 

[James Bushell]

You actually went over 60 on the road..??

you feeling ok..

 

[Budgie]

He wasn't speeding. The other cars are just doing under 10mph...

 

[Mostro]

You mean the fly mess or something mechanical?

Why would you make reference to your speed and then show your reg plate?

 

[jesus]

Mad b*****d!

 

[Waitey]

Tow eyes still looking good.

Treating my gearbox well too i see

 

[VibeFliClioGrande]

think about how many bug families uve ruined...

 

[MarkCup]

Why would you make reference to your speed and then show your reg plate?

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 absolute speed...but to be cautious I've removed the full length one.

Whats that weird sound at ca. 3min50??

Brake pads rattling in the calipers...they don't like going backwards.

[scott1205]

aww gutted

 

[richard1]

Looks like a pleasant blast out Mark!

Don't know what all the references to speed are all about - I mean we all know the great british public love driving @ 45mph! your merely keeping up to 'nationals' good man!

 

[Jason_E]

Holy s**t those fly's peddle-dashed the front of your clio

 

[Jay Payne]

Stop *****ing about on the public road and get back on track

 

[RoryW]

If I see you near my roads near bury hill and I'm on my sp1 I'm gonna be chasing you down

 

[powey]

what camera you use? good quality

 

[Jonff]

Awww I was hoping to enjoy the video then but I'm to late as Mark's removed the long version :dapprove:

 

[Michael172]

ffs. Its time you did a video from the front. But i can understand why you removed the long version. any chance of upoading it to rapidshare or something ?

 

[Brett]

Looks like a good run out mark. I thought I had a lot of flys on my car but yours is about 10 times worse.

 

[Tigger]

Decent clips as always Mark
