Just being processed in iMovie.

In short though, it's fecking fast and so planted its untrue. I was following it for ages and it's just glued to the track, which I suppose is perfect when you've got so much to do with just your hands, you don't want something loose - he's very smooth with it too.
Sideways yo!

Well what a fantastic little circuit, well worth the 2 night stay and 600 mile round trip, must be the most picturesque track in the UK. Mostly motorway from Essex and the car was surprisingly easy to live with on a long trip, I even caught the Mrs having a nap  :happy2:
Some tight and technical stuff at Anglesey (although we didn't get the Cork screw on this layout which I'm told is great), and for a second it looks like you’re going to launch yourself into the Irish Sea, really enjoyed the day with Mike and his mates the track suits smaller more nimble cars but  the Ed30 seemed to do alright.

Mrs M was on (very windy) camera & Video duty, bless  :confused:

Cheers for the pic of mine! :happy2:

Your car was great, very impressed with it and it was rapid. Just to put in to context on the video my silver golf (at the start) is around 190bhp/340ft lbs torque and just tiny bit slower than a standard GTI. Very impressed.

Got some photos i'll stick up at some point!

Loved that.  :drinking: Nice one Mike. How scenic is Anglesey.  :notworthy:  That little old green Elise was travelling. They only weigh betwenn 600-650 KG.  :grin:

I was still coasting at that point, you'll see a bit more speed in the next two to come.

Brilliant track and perfectly suited to nimble cars, means everyone is reasonably evenly matched on the day.
Sideways yo!

Nice one Mike, where are those blue flags when you need them  :signLOL:

Your Clio is perfect for Anglesey, it sounds great as well, what system do you use to record, its very good quality, my camcorder keeps shutting down, (the vibrations I think).

Had a great day, looking forward to another trip there  :happy2:

Think it's a GoPro HD camera Neil.

Is it the wide lens or standard Mike? I'm after one, been saving up for a while whenever I've seen the videos the quality looks great.

Yeah, GoPro HD - it has a few different settings for widescreen and normal, amongst other things.
Sideways yo!
