wow, nice video. sounded like someone was short shifting at the beginning..

 

Martin your car is crazy fast..
As soon as we made that turn Shivam (Parikh) gunned it, but you passed us like we were parked... Awesome video.. MORE AND MORE!!!

 

So for legal purposes, we'll call this driver the stig and not publish any names. What speeds did the stig manage to achieve in that video clip?

 

Haha cool man, yea 1st gear is too short and i spin it, so i just shift out of it after tapping the throttle lol! I cannot wait for the rest of the videos, there is ALOT of footage, an hour and a half was filmed by Steve

Stay tuned!

 

I'm still amazed to see the positive responses here.

I am very happy to see the pictures, the videos and the stories.

Hovik - Foliage Run? Think about it.

 

Haha yea man, RS4 was damm quick and handled amazingly well around the twistie's, i wasnt surprised one bit though, Audi's set up some amazing car's, espeically in the S and RS Series

The Stig , maybe he will chime in soon, but on that straight through 3rd to end of 4th is probably 140, i know at 7k rpm at the end of 4th gear in my car is 140-142 give or take with raised redline, you can see that in other video's as well!

BTW anyone know what was done to that GT2, i know for sure it was nowhere near stock, we had some great acceleration runs with him in front me following!!

 

I hope Lukas edits out my talking. I said a lot of dumb & stupid stuff like "this is the most fun i've had driving...ever" and i muttered "i can keep up with a ferrari" and then it blows by be LOL

Why would you think otherwise? Positive event.

 

I'm not a bit surprised to see the positive comments. Yes it was hectic, yes it was frustrating at times, but even if you got lost you're still driving, small group, large group, but you're still driving, and thats all yesterday was about - Enjoying driving.

You have a PM.

 

LOL, im sure they will edit out the stuff we all said lol!! Hey, its in the middle of a run with our adrenaline pumping, we each said stuff off the top of our head without thinking haha!

BTW, my damm car backfires ALOT!

 

It was quite the run, had alot of fun. I'll be posting a formal teaser vid sooner or later.... stay tuned!!

 

yeah, she is a great girl, and no, she's not single. I'll pass along the compliment though

 

She looks like she enjoys being in front of the cam ... " Big Smile "

 

aw shucks. ::crossingfingersthough::

she's hot too! expensive cars bring out hot girls ...or is it gold diggers? ...for another time, another topic.

 

fun run...sick number of cars showed up, but i didnt get to run with most of them

 

I ran through Bear Mountain a few times at Fall Foliage peek. IT WAS MAGNIFICIENT!

We need some sort of run for it!

 

May have something even better Clyde... I'll let everybody know in due time...

For now...

Can I ask all the participants to EMAIL me with their names and cars?
That'll help me in the future ALOT!!!

Thanks for the link Vik!

 

Great pics/vids...looking forward to more vids.
Awesome job- Hovik, Jdogg, and Eric. Too bad for me that i couldn't make it.

Best of all- great too see a growing Fchat contingent.

 

NSX Pilot

What happened to the link?
I just DLed it and I'm uploading it into youtube right now.
BTW, the last part had a CGT, F430 and an orange Gallardo in it.. where were those cars hiding?

 

That was from some other video footage I shot on another run on the same tape...... sorry I do not have permission to post that complete footage here.

I uploaded it to the wrong server but the link will be back up in a few.

 

yeah I saw NSX Pilots video. Good run showcasing nice cars. However, I wish there were clips of the uphill run with the lake to our passenger side.

After viewing that video, I want to play Initial D.

 

No problem, its only the last 9 seconds, can't see no LPs, can't tell which highway...
