Mighty mito will pull from 1k, sort of. Thankfully it tops out at about 85 or it could be a long video 😂

I tried this today. I think I got to about 8 seconds of off boost where the award winning 2.2 diesel engine is so guttless, it got to about 2300rpm, I gave up :lol:

Plus I now have 6 points so am terrified of doing 100mph anywhere now. There seems to have been an explosions of camera vans again. I passed 4 on my way to Nottingham & back toaday. Cunts.
Cheers.

Yeah, guess they’re collecting money for their Christmas bonus.
How about not having a sig at all?

Waze has saved me many times from the mobile camera's, although i dont think we have the new long range (1km) setups down here some forces are deploying.

I got nabbed over 6000 metres away. The picture quality of my gormless face was outstanding :o

We've no chance now.

6000 metres - that’s almost 4 miles... Where did they get you, the bonneville salt flats?

This should be achievable. Might be marginally impressive in the Renault. Might be legal in the Fabia.

See video/link below for a 4th gear pull. Thought one had been done in third but it turns out all someone did was take a photo 🙄🙄😂

110rpm was lowest without dropping a gear in 4th

That might save me the bother. Is yours remapped? (May be a silly question given your profession)

Managed to find one in 3rd with a little flare of wheelspin.

Where does one put phone whilst trying this on a private drive ? My iPhone zooms in too much if rested on wheel.

See below for some aural awfulness. Driver suffered so you must too. The engine of a Volvo S60 T4 (lpt) is a truly hideous thing especially when wrung out and even more especially so when it hits the limiter 🤮🤮

Genuinely had to check if the T4 is a petrol engine. Sounds shit.

These Volvo modular engines are horrible.

I tried it in the M140i - will drop to 2nd at exactly 1,000rpm so had to go a knats above. Goes like stink to about 80 ish before hitting the limiter. Will try mit video when I get a chance.
