Pashley26 Posted September 14, 2013 Report Share Posted September 14, 2013 (edited) Terrible cars though. I have driven a couple, the 1600M is a better car. I sold this one a few years back, fully resprayed in that metallic blue BMWs come in. http://www.runboard.com/bpostwarclassics.f2.t3483 Edited September 14, 2013 by Pashley26 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinJI Posted September 15, 2013 Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 A few shots from the Forge Motorsport Action Day at Castle Combe yesterday, always a good day: Nick going well (despite what he was saying!): And random other people (mostly the drift guys, they always make nice spectacular photos): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N.Wood Posted September 15, 2013 Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 Whats with the lanyards holding boots and bonnets at half mast? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan6061 Posted September 15, 2013 Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 Must be a scene thing... I'm not sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinJI Posted September 15, 2013 Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 (edited) Yeah I think it's just a Scene thing. I often leave my bonnet at half-mast at shows, but I just do it by putting the bonnet-stay in a different hole. I guess if you've got gas-struts a lanyard's a fairly handy way of doing it. (I leave it half up because it looks silly and blocks the view of the car all the way up, plus I like how low Scirocco's roof lines are, and having the bonnet sticking right up detracts from it.) Currently uploading an in-car video of Nick out on track yesterday. 335 minutes remaining I stuck a little Sony Action-Cam (HDR-AS15) I bought a while back on his screen with a suction mount to see how it came out and I'm really impressed with it! The camera's got built in steadying (it's got a 170deg lens, but with the steadying turned on it crops it down to 120deg and moves around the cropped area to keep things smooth, while still managing 1080.) The cars in front and the track seem to stay completely still while Nicks bonnet moves around in the bottom of the shot. I'm pleased with the actual picture quality too. I'd definitely recommend one as a cheaper alternative to Go-Pros for filming car stuff. It does a live stream to, and control with android/i-phones, so you can set-up the shots and start/stop the camera from in the car when it's mounted externally, which is pretty handy. Plus the usual Go-pro-alike stuff, 120fps@720, 60fps@1080, 170deg or 120deg lens without steadying, 60m waterproofing, and it mounts on a standard 1/4" tripod thread.

TROYston Posted September 15, 2013 Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 After the drift day at Buxton, I'm going to strip my BMW and weld the diff. Been out drifting roundabouts in a dead end industrial park. Nearly got the basics, got to try transitions somewhere! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake. Posted September 15, 2013 Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 Just saw the film "Rush" with my Dad, genuinely one of the best films I've seen to date. Anyone who's reading this (especially if you're on this thread) go and see it!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinJI Posted September 16, 2013 Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 (edited) Nick out on track on Saturday, sorry about the pit-lane at the start, it gets going at 2:50 I tried cutting it down, but my laptop overheated and conked out, so I gave up and uploaded it full length: Edited September 16, 2013 by RobinJI 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prawny Baby Posted September 16, 2013 Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 Woohooooooooo. Thanks Robin. Hooray for traffic jams! Typical Combe really, over 60 cars on track at once in some sessions. i think in the whole day one single car indicated to signal they were ready to be passed, and not a single car backed off the throttle to allow a safe overtake. You had a choice of sit behind someone slow and waste your money in a short 15 minute session, or initiate warp drive and force your way past, putting yourself off line for the next bend and hugely compromising your line / corner speed. Not my favourite organisation, driving standards of others are so poor you end up driving like a bit of a cock yourself as if you didn't, you'd just trundle around. I think the second session Robin got in film was far better, chasing down the Revolution Motorstore Imprezza, that was fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prawny Baby Posted September 16, 2013 Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 I've just listened to the start of that clip Robin Emily and I talking about Boost, and NOS, haha, so funny. I was trying to explain it all in simple terms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

george_seamons Posted September 16, 2013 Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 Less picture taking, more fitting! Had these on mine for ages now. Love the difference the extra camber and castor makes. Coupled with my castor correction wishbone bushes, its a weapon in the corners now!
