The 335s looked great. I've always liked the E92 coupes, and if I didn't need the space in the back of the bus, I'd have one in an instant. Paul |

Nice write up Tony.
I was thinking about starting up an odd 'Will's Word of Worldly Wisdom' post- this is a perfect opportunity. Viv |

Welcome back Viv! How's it going? You may want to respond in a different thread as this is going off-topic!

Found this on PH... I nearly booked this day.
What a complete prat the DB9 driver is, esecially if he had been warned before. Did the 997tt have bucket seats in it? I am sure I have met the driver. Thanks |

Warning Audi Driver Alert
Quote:
First time I was on track at Mallory Park I managed to cook the brakes and boil the brake fluid. This time fresh ATE Super Blue fluid and cooling ducts did their job well. The stock pads are too soft for track use and am thinking about DS2500s. The KW coilovers also need adjustment when I get a few seconds. Oh, and she's 1.8 tonnes and that's with the double glazing, ya cheeky barstewards! P.s. sorry for the gate crash, at least I didn't say Audi, d'oh! P.p.s. could I have the high res pics of the barge....please? CheeRS Grant |

Hi Grant Glad to see you made it on here - did Paul give you the forum details, or did you just happen across us ?!! The barge did look lovely, and probably a good thing you didn't go hammer and tongs all the way round as the brakes really would have cooked off!! Sounded immense though But really, 1.8 tonnes ?! Who are you kidding?! Double glazing as well? Definitely a barge on wheels then... Besides, surely the extra carpeting at the back makes it 2+...!!! I'd recommend against the DS2500 - they go off very quickly and have a tendency to judder (I had them on my APs before). Try the Pagid 421 pad instead - MUCH better for road use and occasional track use. If you want dedicated pads for the track, then you'll have to use Pagid RS29 Yellows. And if you want the hi-res versions, PM me your email address!!

Ehem, well it's 1.865 tonnes if you want specifics, but who's counting eh?! She's running 530bhp, 780Nm and is a handfull. I was pointed to the pics on here by one of the guys on audisrs.com (shameless plug). I was hammering the brakes to see what they would take... no fade whatsoever, which surprised me given Mallory, but I've learnt alot since then. The brakes have already been flushed and the holes drilled to clear the dust. ;-) The car can do alot more than I can do, for now!

Thanks E92 fan, Im a big BMW fan having owned a highly modded Z MCoupe and now have my lovely CSL so will check the place out.
Such a shame when people cant show some discipline on track. I have seen stuff like this happen before where people get hot headed and think they are racing. I always stick to a few rules.... 1)if someones quicker let them through. 2)if people are getting hot headed and your stuck in traffic come in and head back out when quieter. 3) set yourself a number of laps and stick to it... 15/20.... laps you will get tired and make mistakes. Hope the Porsche owner gets sorted. |
