Did I post this here?

 

 

Few week's ago when the Lexbus was at one of the super car meet's.

Photographer for the day who's also my mate snapped this between getting all the fancy stuff arriving. :lol:

 

His page can be found here, for better pictures of better cars from the same meet as well as others!

The flare actually makes it more interesting :)

Turn's out 2 tonne land yacht is't too bad at drag racing...

Top time of 15.92 and speed trapped at 92mph on the same 1/4 mile in the LexBus.

 

Start of the day was bad, for a start the surface is poor(it's an old WW2 RAF base and the runway's age shows) and it was also sodden wet meaning everyone was struggling for traction (TC light flashing while doing 50mph+ on the first few runs!) but thankfully the sun came out and dried it up! First few runs were bad as well as let off before the finish markers as was't sure of the run off/brakes. Managed to surprise alot of people to start with as most folk must have expected it to just be an old grandad saloon, not a 300hp bus. (Civic Type-R's, Feista ST's got it worst)

 

Here's me going down the strip with a friends tuned Focus ST, still in the wet. Went much better than expected, but once it dried up, he was getting much better times!

Please tell me RT isn't reaction time. :p

[calster17]

It is, but the first few on there were in the wet so just got alot of wheel spin and no go, and later ones was me being cautious not to jump the line, the surface of the 'strip' is dire, the lights have the most weird way of working or the fact it's a slush box made for carrying sir about in refinement rather than swatting hot hatch's away at the lights.

 

There is also the fact, I'm maybe not the fastest to react to things. ;)

[Ryzza5]

You're not kidding; it took you an hour to react to that post. ^ :lol:

[TIMELESS]

What is this madness, you're racing and you'd rather listen to music than a V8? :panic:

[SBCriss]

Finally got the car registered, now I can start putting things together. Also decided to order some fender flares from the States!

You can still hear her roar when in the car, trust me. ;) Also, Utah Saints. :cheeky:

Anyway, here a better look at the start line from the video..

And yes, there was a super-luxo-barge battle later in the day

And the lexbus won it. :)

Is that silver Merc an actual E 500? :eek:

[calster17]

Was an E300. (or at least that's what was on the back)

 

Guy jumped the que a few cars to get next to me as I had a free space and he'd have been racing an impreza. Don't think he knew what powers the LS and it was just a big, old saloon car. But he got a better start than me but once I got moving I had it. Pro's & con's of a slush box in the space of 5 seconds, :lol:

[TIMELESS]

If it was the diesel I'm nearly sure they're not even turbocharged :lol:

[The Compensator]

The front fenders seemed to me wider so that's why I thought it could be the Porsche-Benz.

[calster17]

The front wing's had had been changed in the past, as mis-matching colours to the rest of the body, as had the wheel's which were from a later model.

 

Done a reg check as well, in case they'd badged it a 300 to make it more of a sleeper and it's a E300 petrol. :)

[Margebadze]

got some new pics before loading into container :))

[carlos_69]

Is that even safe for the car inside a container? those steel wires don't seem to the perfect cable for supporting a car in that way. it looks like they are trying to fit like 3 cars (if they are the bigger container) or two (if the small container).

[Carlstone13]

haven't posted in a while....mostly because I currently don't have a road legal car, the Renault 5 is very nearly done and I can't wait, the SW20 is gone.....I just got bored, I missed the "get up and go" of the R33.....long story short I needed more power.....so I might....maybe....if the girlfriend lets me.....get another R33.....and it may be a GTR this time

[The Compensator]

You're weird, bro.
