Video: GT3 v GT3RS at Snetterton

By BlowDog ⋅ December 10, 2008 ⋅ 3 comments

Main article has already been posted.
Anyway, here’s a video of a chase with the camera in my car and following Glenn who’s a Porsche Cup racer (had to add that in) in his GT3 RS.
Apologies for the stupid camera placement, I’m a recording n00b and I should know better.

Poor trees

Japanese supercars ruin the equilibrium of the forest with their disgusting exhaust fumes.

Makinen spills Skyline’s pint

So Makinen is asked to step outside in a pub where cat swinging is certainly not allowed.

Waving the Makinen goodbye

Ack. The Makinen was taken from me today. Sold to the Good Man Quentin of FullOnLoon fame. I trust the car will be looked after, I am also very happy to see the car go to someone I know. This way I get to see the car whenever I want!
Is it just me, or does [...]

Trax2001

By BlowDog ⋅ September 2, 2001 ⋅ Post a comment

Silverstone and Trax 2001. Shame I couldn’t honour my track time, I have a deposit on the car so I wouldn’t be fair on new owner. However, lots of fun to be had, not for the two cars that died. A totalled P1 and a very dead 993 Turbo4. Ack. I would love to push for track day organisers to put pressure on members to organise personal and third party insurance cover. Imagine the scenario. Bob in his piece of crap comes far too fast round the corner, loses total control and rear ends you on the straight. 100% totally his fault, but you have to pay for it. He has no legal obligation whatsoever to cough up. There is something definitely Pete Tong here.

I purchased a fantastic number plate (thanks to Adam) for the Makinen. The amount of hassle I had trying to get a number plate made defied belief though.

Met up with a guy who is selling this mad Evo Extreme.

Makinen at Bedford Autodrome

Bedford Autodrome is one of the largest motoring entertainment sites in the UK. It has a very large track that is split into 4 mini circuits. Our track for the day was one of the nicest, easiest tracks I have been on. A 2 km straight provided high speed thrills [...]

Wedding cars courtesty of friends

By BlowDog ⋅ June 23, 2001 ⋅ Post a comment

Mon sister was given away on this fine day to the wonderful Steven Young. Although the bastards tricked me into accepting a crippled camel, the 40 sacks of rice should help us peasants for a while.
I hate weddings, but this kept me thrilled right to the end, I was soarly dissapointed to see it finish [...]

Evil eye succeeds again

Whilst enjoying a leisurely drive down one of my favourite B roads today, I was pleasantly surprised to see a Metro with 6 occupants come tearing round a bend to face me (death) in the eyes…

Castle Combe rally day

here it is, a pretty big review of the day. There are lots of different sections (the day was huge, very impressive) and many, many, MANY pictures.

Commissioned (politely asked) wax wizard to help me prep the car for Castle Combe and get rid of some nasty swirl marks that were happening on my car.

Was honoured to grace the pages of Fast Car Magazine this month. Despite the embarrassment of reading said magazine on the London underground, there were one or two good pics in there.

I currently have some very good offers for an Evo 7 from two very reliable sources. One is from Roger Clarke motorsport, whom I have purchased 3 cars from in the past. They have never failed to provide me with bona fide cars and have never ever let me down before. Having said that, Iain [...]

Belgium in the Makinen

Another big mistake in our choice of travelling times. A 2 hour sleep gave way to a 3 am start at south mims services. Met up with a number of folks along the way and made our way to belgium. The company was superb. Highlights of the day in no particular order :
A group of [...]

Donington Feb 2001 in the Makinen

By BlowDog ⋅ February 18, 2001 ⋅ Post a comment

Donington, my local haunt. Or rather the only track, bar Silverstone, where i trust myself! Its an extremely forgiving track with lots of off areas, superbly run and totally diverse. I think the best private club track in the uk.
Another successful day, with minimum mishap. An eclectic range of offs ( =) ) totalling about [...]
