Went to a Vmax200 event

Post by Raj » Mon Jul 01, 2013 11:26 pm

What can I say about this...

My mate Tin (some may remember him from the Cosford Meet with the GTR) called me asking if I wanted to head to this with him, and of course I'd have been mad to not to have gone.

This is run a few times a year at Brunters, where the idea is to try and hit the magic 200mph barrier.

As you can imagine the metal there was lurvly and the sound of most was just unreal as they each fired off the line.

So onto a few pics and a link to the album.

Met Tin and his mate Joe at the Shell station a few miles from Brunters:
Image

Image

Joe's RS6:
Image

Some of the metal lined up:
Image

Tin's GTR:
Image

Aston's were a plenty:
Image

But this was the only SLR:
Image

Quite a few R8's too:
Image

New Jag F-Type (lovely sound):
Image

One of 2 Aventador's that turned up (Just for Sala Kav):
Image

GT2 was a missile:
Image

Murci:
Image

Image

R8 V10's:
Image

White Aventador:
Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Ultima:
Image

Image

All the creature comforts...lol:
Image

Image

Not quite the Playboy twin blowers I was thinking of:
Image

Image

Image


Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

SVM GTR (over 1000bhp):
Image

Image

Still my fav Porker:
Image


And of course, did Tin hit 200....hmmmm....No, only 2mph....lol:
Image

But then remembered where the accelerator was (200mph):
Image

And then 201mph:
Image

He did 205mph with no passengers.

Seriously great day. The SVM GTR actually hit 229.7mph....

No problem all. Glad you all liked the pics. Thinking I either need to get back into my old M5 or supercharge the X lol. Acceleration is still sooooo addictive.

Some very nice cars there and good quality pictures, thank you

I was a little surprised that there was a Bmw Mini in the 7th picture with the SLR. It must of had a lot of work on it to be in the 200mph club.  :))
