TRTOM2498 Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Had a great day, with fine weather last Monday. Car was a delight.Some quick V8 machinery, including an MGZS V6 ex touring car. Had a great laugh following it about, he could not lose me.Stats:MGZS1050Kgs200BHP.TR6:1060Kgs (weighed as Donington whilst I was there)193BHP on recent rolling road.Like the owner said, it was a close call. However, he was not running slicks, as they were not permitted.Here is some footage, only a short clip of me, if you fast foward circa 11mins into the video:-http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PrRxtxnAUyI&feature=youtu.be After Silverstone GP circuit week before, now this, car is ready for a set of tyres. !Cheers.

Chriss Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Hi TomYou said that you could not come to Goodwood on 25th November. MG0T are going there on 21st October. How about finishing off your tyres there with them.Anyone else that cannot come on 25th, how about giving the 21st a go?Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 I love how you could hear your TR6 so far away!Not overly impressed with those fast MG saloons — I was quicker than all of them at Silverstone.I guess they may weigh a bit more than mine.

trackerjack Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 You realise you are very naughty driving so fast in a car that most MG enthusiasts think is not very good!For years they have been fed on a diet that the MGB was Britains finest and the best sports car available.Now you go and blow their doors off with TRIUMPH ............!!!! I say there must be a law against it old chap ;DI have to say that when you took me round Goodwood in that 6 it reminded me of why I was called TR Stonewall by friends when I owned TR,s cos I love em.
