Some pictures of the cars from today's drive. :D

The Noble is a modified M12 pushing about 500, the 911 Turbo is highly modified at around 800, the Supra is capable of more than 1000 but was running less boost (and still wildly wheel spinning into 4th gear), the 911 C2S is stock and so is the Modena, the RX7 and my Z4. The 340R is also completely stock with even the original tires the car came with! They're 10 years old and completely and utterly bald in the rear! :cry: The guy only has it for cruises and it's with only 6000miles!

Glad to report that the Z4 performed admirably though and when was leading it left cars with more than twice the power behind. Until my car freaked the hell out on the way back though and went into limp mode........... It didnt overheat and i was pushing harder on many previous drives so i have absolutely no idea why it happened... :headbang:

Anyway, photos:

Nice mate. Ref the Supra, I'm as much for more power as the next man, but making so much you can't get the traction down, hardly seems worth it... outside of bragging rights.

And yep, hope the issue is something minor.

:driving:

That 911 turbo is f----ing sweet
Click to expand...

He overtook me at one point and i thought the car would suck me through the intakes, chew me up and spit me out the exhausts. Very fast car. That's how he could keep up, not because of the driver's skills. :rofl:
 
Thanks for the kind words guys, i still havent had a call from the garage but after some talk with a friend of mine with a CSL he says it sounds like a faulty throttle position sensor. We'll see.

Here's a clip of the cars parked in Agros. Sorry dudes, i didnt get any video of us on the move. I was leading most of the way and didnt want to have to think about the camera as well.

Mmm I like the 997 too. The 360 looks a little dated now. And the ///M doesn't look out of place in that company either.
 
Nice metal indeed.

What is the speed limit on the island by the way?
 
Thanks Wondermike.

pvr, the speed limit on highways is 100kph, the speed limit in rural areas is usually 80 but can be much lower if a stretch of road is particularly dangerous/twisty etc. In towns and villages it's 50.
 
A couple of more sedate videos.

The first one is at the same place as the first video i already posted but this one has the Supra starting up. The other one is me following the Lotus on our way back home, we were just cruising down and i was being careful to keep my engine revs below 4.5k after my problems earlier.
