my 21st birthday present.

Post by pyro » 25 Apr 2010 12:29 pm

So finally got round to booking my track day, went to elvington air field yesterday for a hoon about in an ariel atom. :D :D :D :D :shock: :shock:

was intense.
nothing can prepare you for full throttle in an ariel atom. its unreal. think i managed an 70-140 pull, in 5th, in under 4 seconds.

the wine of the supercharger in your left ear, the unreal acceleration, and how precise it is to handle, just throw it in and itll take it!

i got a full speed passenger ride in a scooby. which was insane. im lost for words at the speed you can throw them about
