REVS 0-60
Challenge At RAF Alconbury!!! September 2001!
117 Car
gathered together, challenging each other to who has the Daddy car!, and my 205
was there!!!!! I didn?t do as well as I thought? maybe over estimating my cars speed,
but I was pretty impressed by the whole day. They did have a ? mile time as
well which I was more pleased about due to the fact that I have 17?s on mine,
and a heavy engine in the Mi16, so I concentrated more on the ? mile time when
I knew I wasn?t gonna get under 7 seconds for the 60 sprint! The winner on the
day was Ian Nixon?s R5 Twin Engined Turbo jobbie in 3.50 seconds dead!

Relaxed and sitting all quite before all the
action starts!! |
This is the first time the new rear diffuser
has been out at some sort of show! A look nice doesn?t it? Should do, it?s cost
me ?350 quid to get the damn thing on!!! |
Just chllin?and waiting for all the action to
start! You have to keep the engine ticking over to keep all the oil flowing
and to keep the engine warm!!! |
Not TOO warm though. The queue was that long,
you had to keep the engine ticking over, but with the bonnet raised! |
This is me and the Pugsley on the
start line, waiting for the off!!! The sweat was pouring off me? must have
been all the tension! Keep the REVS up around 3000rpm? burn the clutch and
away we go! |
And we?re off. The hardest bit was
keeping traction. I?ve never done any 0-60?s before, and it took a few goes
to get it right!!! |
A little puff of smoke, the engine
at 7000rpm and climbing, blimey, now I know were my driveshafts keep going! I thought that after two years, I knew replica handbags that Beatrice was a
small gucci replica handbag in
Pierre's many hermes replica handbags
. I didn't expect it to be handbag
replica positive result. Beatrice transformed this "night club little prince"
into a happy replica handbags .

Believe me, when you?re doing this
sort of thing, you suddenly don?t give a toss about your engine, it?s redline
all the way!! By the time, I got to the marker for ? mile I was doing about
97-99 mph! The brakes got a roasting as well! |

Crossing the ? mile mark is a relief
for the last time!!! Overall, not a bad day. I recorded 7.89 seconds 0-60, and
a ? mile time of 15.34 seconds! To me this proves that the power in the Mi16
doesn?t come into its own until you reach about 45-50 mph, and then the car
just keeps pulling. The only way I was going to get under 7 seconds was without
the rear diffuser, a set of 15?s and I would have done it! The car would?ve
looked crap mind!!! Below is a selection of the other modded metal at the day
out! Thanks to REVS also for a corking day! See you next year!
