[evo98]

Tony glued to the back of that Ferrari was some sight

@jagged needs to get his geo sorted, that trio lapping together would be awesome, lol

I loved being behind that wagon an was closer to him than im sure he would have liked a couple of times . Wasnt every day you got a chance to chase a racing prancing horse so i tried to make the most off it while trying to remain a safe distance from such a machine! ( my god imagine something happened) lol

I should have a couple of good videos i must stick them up once i get a chance, havnt even watched them yet myself

My car was mis firing when warm yesterday so we are putting it down to coil packs

Great day, well run, we really enjoyed ourselves, the Mr2 ran well all day. Big thank you to Philip Shields for taking me out for a run in the 458, what a car, amazing, and a very nice guy.

Was close at one point when he spun out in front of you Bonda was sounding great and going really well most of the time.

@JERKYBOY18 your focus looked great, and sounded great in the small rev battle you had with the GTR

That looks really good! What camera are you using? How do you get the GPS data up on it?

Looks like Harry's lap timer, very good app for timing and video, just make sure you have the 12v charger with you!

 

[Jonny F]

Is that recorded on the phone?

Is that recorded on the phone?

Yea on the phone

That wee Mini was just superb, and one of the best presented cars I have seen. The engine alone was a work of art. Shame about the bump, but at least you use it properly

 

[DesmoBen]

Many thanks.. I'm a devil for the detail. My wife says I suffer from OCD (obsessive car disorder). Been busy with work since the w/e and havn't had the chance to think about getting it fixed yet...but hope to have it back in shape and fighting form soon.

Re Harry's App - yep, it's recorded from the iPhone. There are a few versions - the one I have is laptimer petrol head. Cost €20. There is a cheaper one - but it won't record video. There's also a more expensive one too costing €27 and you can shoot with multi cameras like the GoPro to get picture in picture footage like the pros have.
It's clever stuff - far too clever for me as I still can't figure it out. Oh, Harry's apps are also available for android devices.

Last Sunday was only my 4th visit to Kirkistown and I have to say - I just love the atmosphere ... You really are a great bunch.

Absolutely great afternoons spectating, and everything was great to watch but for me it was between the white E30 welded to the back end of Breezemounts 458 and Streetracers supercharge EP3... absolutely unreal machines to watch and listen too.

 

[MarkM]

Gutted to see the Mini battered and bruised, I know it'll be back though, fast little bugger!

@svensktoppen here's a vid of the Princess and the Frog from my 3rd session, no contest, but fun trying to hang on for a while lmao Pesky Hondus
My miss fire is down to a fauly oxygen sensor.....maybe, probably, soon see

 

[svensktoppen]

Awesome, I always bottle it round debtors and through the chicane, lol. That was one of the best sessions of the day, enjoyed that

Wee Princess is a lot quicker than me, for sure!

Have plenty of videos this time, with sound and all, but not had time to sort it out yet...

Best engine ever made, full stop

 

[Shannonsir]

I agree !!!!!... Except I'm hauling around a 1400kg accord with it... I knew my eyes and ears weren't deceiving me!... That's a smashing setup!.
