Not good, seeing as it wasn't a 2.0l fabia

**Makefish** · 13-05-2008, 20:22

This was a fab trip and my thanks go to EVERYONE that went for making it such fun, I'll not forget it in a hurry

Loads of pics to come but here's a taster of the trip down (sorry a poor quality vid)

Kaiserb_uk · 13-05-2008, 20:33

How fast was that??? And what was that yellow Furby doing?

**tfboy** · 13-05-2008, 20:40

It was fast enough - I'm not used to driving at those speeds

Oh, and the yellow fabia was Will's. He had an annoying habit of being in all the shots of the convoy.

We had a most amazing drive down - more pics to follow

but amongst the sleek supercars was this bright yellow car with its roof sticking out over everything else. Yup it was Will

CHRIS ELLIS · 13-05-2008, 20:40

Around 120mph (although slowing a little) but that was the start of an amazing convoy we had to the ring

postmanpat · 13-05-2008, 20:43

Undertaken by a std fabia

mattandy · 13-05-2008, 20:45

I think it was the fact that he'd just been overtaken by a Viperwannabe and was being harrased by a yellow tractor that he put his foot down

We were parked up in the car park at the time the pic was taken - the 360cs didn't go out again so technically I was faster after round the ring after the picture, before was a different story though

Thats were the red truck they used to use was parked.

Sadly driving at speed in the EU will soon be a thing of the past due to the soon to be passed cross border co-operation whereby a driver speeding in a foreign country will have the same penalties applied as if speeding in their own. Technically it came into force recently, but the whole thing is due to be automatic rather than paper based soon.

Rapid - Press Releases - EUROPA

There is a thread discussing it on the ringers list.

Erm no, too much at EU270 imo

the Ring Taxi looked good (especially with Sabine at the wheel

) but they had a two and a half year waiting list!
