Davemate Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 I'd just like to ask a wee little favour from anyone with a 2ltr vitesse.Any chance of being taken for a mad 0-60 dash, I'm quite surprised at the acceleration of my mk1 saloon and I'd just like to know how fast a vitesse is, I suppose a GT6 or Git fire would do !Cheers chaps,see you Sunday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velocita Rosso Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 I successfully negotiated with James May , to borrow his water going Herald.We set sail for the autosolo shortly...... ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeffG Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Neither Julie nor will be able to make this I'm afraid. Just driving the GT6 back this evening, suddenly lost both temperature and petrol gauges, also indicators. Fuses keep blowing. Car will start but not run. The Dolly currently has one carb in bits so we're a bit short of a working Triumph. Very disappointed but best of luck to everyone for a good day tomorrow.Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkDeTriomphe Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 Fantastic day out - many thanks to the organisers and timekeepers for making this such a great event.The younger deTriomphe thoroughly enjoyed herself and is totally hooked - promises to try harder when she has rid herself of the L-plates ;)Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Velocita Rosso Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Thanks to Nigel and all the organising crew for another successful Auto solo at BovingdonAnother great day of action, speed, fun ,camaraderie and hot weatherI awoke this morning to find with what appeared to be a beetroot growing on my shoulders............the sun took its toll on an ever receding upper thatch.My ever slowing brain means that I get slower every year in this event.............but it doesn`t mean I lose out on the enjoyable event and even more sociable membersFor those that do not attempt it...................you are losing out on a fantastic day After dropping Philip off for a trip into London,....I drove , top down,sleeveless in the cool rain mist roads all the way back to Yorkshire, arriving at 11pm, being kept warm by a rather red glow!

MarkDeTriomphe Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Video with a few runs attached complete with commentary from Tim - although I'm not sure who was getting angry at 3:00 :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3yjf4MsJP8U&feature=youtu.beMarkEdit ...... for anyone out there who fancies trying this but is too nervous - that's my little girl having a bash after just four driving lessons and making it look easy! So it really is a fun day out for everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's very rewarding seeing somebody's face light up when you tell them they've done the course 5 seconds faster. Tim Bancroft made me laugh too by nicknaming Davemate's car and mine Yin & Yang. ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
