My Breakfast Run spin...

[MarkCup]

Babbage I know (from Nov 2004), but I only ever put stills up before.

The closest I've come to connecting with another vehicle and/or swapping ends on public roads...

[Big Iain]

leaky shock? I love mine when it does that I just make a vee6 sound when it does!!!

 

[Alan]

Lol...nutter ^

 

[cliobritt]

VERY close to that car! close....

 

[bmh.01]

Thats familar, oh wait I did swap ends after some rather "fun" fishtail action and running out of talent (not that much to run out of).

Bugger me that was close to the car coming the other way though.

 

[christurbo]

Had exactly that happen on a wet day last week coming off the Bowling green RA in Lichfield.... was a shock but a quick opp lock sorted me out!

 

[RuFF21]

that will teach you! although didnt look like you were going that fast.

I love the reaction to slam your foot down and instantly forget it happened

 

[Craig]

[DH_GTI]

[JMR]

[Mikey]

christ it lost grip abit easily, glad you held it though mate, bet your heart was in your mouth for a couple of seconds!!

 

[TJ182]

Yikes, how the hell did ya do that at that speed?

I was following a 182 in th epissing wet approaching 100 and it glides around the corners. It was like following an F1 car the amoutn of spray coming off the back wheel.

 

[dannyboy172]

I did that in my old 306 xsi a couple of yrs ago, but i put my foot on the brake

Almost collected a Jag in my 180 degree dance lol.

3 reasons why it went...

1. I was trying to keep up with James/Emma ahead...both were running Continentals IIRC - I was running a set of Yokohama A539's which are renowned for being total sh*te in the wet.

2. The corner itself had "ripples" in the surface, so that combined with the A539's meant it was pushing wide towards the oncoming 406 as I went round.

3. Classic mistake of more steering lock and a lift off the throttle to try and avoid the 406. Weight transfer to front, bugger all on the back...round it came :evil:

...and yeah, I did s**t it a little at the time.

Hi Mark

Just wondering what type of exhaust you have?

I've got a 182 with the cup packs and expected it to sound like yours does on the video when I purchased it, instead it sounds like a 1.0l Daewoo Matiz

Been back to renault too many times to mention with exhaust problems so guess I should just give in and buy something decent to put on it?

Thanks
Neil

 

[John D]

Think he's got a decat and a K-tec stealth

 

[Timmay]

whoops!

iirc it was standard when that vid was taken.

Brings back memories, I was behind you i think? Haven't been enough Breakfast runs this year.

 

[MarkCup]

Yeah, was standard at that time...I'd only had the car for 12 months. Might have sounded a little fruitier due to no back seats though.

That was probably the slowest one ever Jon...not sure if it was that day when Ang's Evo went ditchwards?

 

[Pootle]

...and yeah, I did s**t it a little at the time.

so did I when I saw you go in my rear view mirror!!!

That was a good run!!

 

[peter182]
