That's what I found in mine. It was very wet so I got some wheelspin around 3k and then it tramped on to the limiter.

Probably cheating a bit using 3rd in an 8 speed box! But we don't make the rulez...

Thats what makes this such a daft thing to try and do...

This entire thread just proves that people take things I post on this forum waaaaay too seriously.

I wonder what else I could get people to do?

I did a video in 3rd and 4th. Links on pages 3.

0-200 mph, for every mph below 200 you get a 1 second penalty added.

I jumped off a cliff earlier.

Sorry I didn’t reply earlier, my head was in an oven.

Were you trying to dry your hair?

Here's an identically specced car doing something inadvisable on a road.



Edit: Timed that at around 18secs.

That guy needs some washer fluid.

Notice how I was clever enough to actually leave a bit on the end so you could that I did in fact hit the limiter.

I reckon everyone else runs are fake, and thus null and void.


But yes, I do need some schooshy-fluid in the go go machine.

Very cleverly adding lightness is how I'd frame it.

Thought a Lotus guy would get that

Null and void. Clearly rolled through idle rather than holding it there and flooring it.

Go fuck yer hat.

Might be a bit faster if you release the handbrake old bean.

That's the stability control warning, because it's turned off, you silly boy.

E46s are weird.
