Point One - No Scooby can do 180mph down the main drag at Marham - even the big Lambo's don't reach anywhere near this speed lol :roll:

Point Two - whoever can tell me what was wrong with the content of that video gets to drive my car down that same stretch of track at a very slow (but realistic) speed of just 140mph

And then take the left-hander at the end at 110

This is a genuine offer - just have to answer the question correctly

One answer per poster thanks and the judge's rules is final (me )

Winner brings own spare underpants and colostomy bag

That splat sound is like it came out of a kids cartoon. I cant see how it could actually explode like that.

I hit a seagul on the track day on Friday. Left a brownish-white poop stain on my windscreen.

That was you was it Alex?

We (me and Tom) saw the dead gull just before the first left hander after the start

So... not content with spinning you have to go fowl hunting as well?

The write up for the video says it was a top speed run on the MLR 30 to 130mph Day. So how can the car be doing 180mph when it is for 130mph cars.
