My Driving Experience..VIDEO PG1

[Luke]

For my 18th birthday (in January 2006) I got a driving experience from my Aunty.

Today, I finally went to Elvington in York and took it..AMAZING!

I got to drive a Subaru Impreza WRX and go in a Dax Rush (Basically a Caterham 7) as a passenger where they travel at 100mph and then just throw it it into a corner.

Anyways, the Subaru ain't a normal standard UK version. This one has been imported, all stripped out, competition bucket seats, roll cage, NO ABS, bigger brakes and uprated suspension. The imported cars have 260hp as standard, but this one had been tuned by prodrive so the stats were pretty much outstanding.

2 Litre Turbo, 300BHP, 4WD, 0-60 in 4.9 seconds and Top Speed of 151mph. The turbo didn't kick in till 3,500rpm, but when it did it bloody went...

For another £25, I had the chance to drive a Ferrari so obviously you don't refuse that.

Heres the pictures and can anyone tell me what Ferrari it is?

[Luke]

Haha, don't be saying that Alex. It was a Ferrari, i managed about 120 on the straight.

Graeme - It was at Elvington, York. It's a company called Vision Motorsports, maybe do a search for them.

The images I had to re-scale because camera had taken them at 2500 x 1400 which was 2.5mb per image.

Dan

[Yates]

[Barry123]

when in the flesh it's piss to tell the difference, seen a few and there is just something that doesnt look quite right.

[saxodan]

My mate is part of a club and i cant tell, they retrim in the original italian leather, put replica alloys and tyres (the beasty ones) and everything like this, if you get the tbar version of the mr2 it looks amazing!

[Yates]

u can tell cos of the spacers on the back wheels, and most of the idiots dont replace windows so it still says toyota on them

how much did it cost luke? can you drive an evo on one? i want to get that for my lass, also wouldnt mind a go myself

[Clouds_mate]

cool mate.


I had a driving experience yesterday. I took landys car out. Returning home with the smell of a burning clutch mmm lol

[Luke]

Landys car is fooked. Haha.

Yatesy - I think it cost £60 for the 2 seater passenger side and to drive the Subaru Impreza. I got offered to drive the Ferrari when I got there, that was £25 extra. Best to google Vision Motorsport mate, not sure about the Evo.

[Luke]

[Luke]

It's a great experience, because I'll never drive a turbo impreza or ferrari again tbh.

[Luke]

It is defo a 348 like Ad said.

[Viper]

oh yes.. im not disagreeing now def is a 348.

i might get the chance to drive a fezza some time :)
i nearly got a RIDE in a 430 on holiday in dubai.. but he couldnt.. as he had to answer his phone gggrrrrrr

but he did whack it up to 8,000 revs :D and my GOD i felt that in my stomach!!!

[Barry123]

[Viper]

aahhh.. too many 0's :)

you little swine ads.

*runs away to edit*

can you IMAGINE driving a fezza with 80,000 revs 0_0 lol

[Luke]

Video is on Page 1 or CLICK HERE. (http://media.putfile.com/Elvington)

[noxtioN]

Video is really good, I bet it sucks getting back in the Saxo, after driving them cars ;)

[cammedvtr]

saxodan, if you cant tell the difference between a genuine italian motor car and a kitted jap, you need glasses mate there nothing alike. Well it fits in a normal parking space its jap toy (MR2), but when you need two its a monster...

theres loads of differences between the two........ check the rover exhaust back box they use on mr2's that the first wrong move wankers

[Luke]

Video is really good, I bet it sucks getting back in the Saxo, after driving them cars ;)

I ain't drove the Saxo since mate, went in my Dads car today and then mine ain't moved off the drive.

[James]

You drove that scooby like a girl luke..

[Luke]

I had to drive it in stages Cloud.

First run - 3000 RPM
2nd - 4000RPM
3rd - 4500RPM

And so on...

Last run was 6500 and fuck me was it quick.

[James]

Fuck that dude... Foot the the floor... I wouldent pay money to drive in a scooby and not rag the living shit out of it.. or in my terms 'Try' rag the shit out of it.

[Luke]

Haha, you said it mate. It's so I got use to the car, but once I started to hit 4,000 revs is when I had a BIG smile on my face.

[leeds106]

[landy]

[Baz]

[mark_saxo]

[Luke]

Thats as much video as you can get because spectators can't go any further, which is a little disappointing.

[Yates]

Bloody hell Landy, only joking.

[Luke]

:P hehe.

[Saxo_Luke]

cool mate.

Driving without insurance Leckie, tut, tut, tut. lol :D:

[Luke]

No, his insurance covers him for Third Party Only.

[Dan]

Looks like a good day Luke, how much was it for the whole thing? How long did you get in each car?

[Saxo_Luke]

No, his insurance covers him for Third Party Only.

Ok fair enough.

[Luke]

Looks like a good day Luke, how much was it for the whole thing? How long did you get in each car?

The whole thing cost £60. For that I got 10 minutes in the Dax Rush and 10 minutes in the Subaru.

The Ferrari drive was offered to me on the day, that was £25. You only got 5 minutes in that though, but at the end of the day how many people can say they have driven a Ferrari?

[Clouds_mate]

Ok fair enough.


Eat that mofo hahahaha
