Boxhill Meet - Saturday 29 August

Sorry to burst the bubble guys but that's a zx6r...600cc. Still quick, but no zzr14 (had 2 tuned 14's and that are fun).

Ade... I wasn't even racing him and had my eyes on the road ahead. Btw, I'm not trying to prove anything here just having some fun with the boys and I know nothing about bikes.
Shame you didn't want a ride.

Ade - you're right, it is. But no slouch and frankly, the way it looks like it's in reverse at one pint puts into perspective Dave's 6!

Thanks Bazza and Neil for the clarification regarding the lights... I had no idea that's the case.

Neil... your name is on the passenger seat already so when ever my friend.

I'm PAX on the next meet David, everyone can queue behind me!!!!

Don't get me wrong guys....a 600 will leave most cars...and with a good rider, a lot of bikes. Tbh, beating any bike in a 2tonne wagon is no mean feat. I chased a few bikers down roads I know very well in my M3 and they were all over me...I thought I'd at least stand a chance but nope...

As for a pax...if I do that, I'll remortg coz I'll want 900bhp immed...so nooooooo never. Leave me in my mere 750bhp bliss pppllleeeeeaaasseeeee lol.

[Fatneck73]

And and and. ... Oh those buckets. B e a uuuutttifuuulll. Want want want.

Ade, I fully understand where you're coming from. I made an mistake by driving a friend's Ferrari 458 Speciale and now I must have one.

The 6 buckets are ultra rare and are hard to come by. The best chance to acquire a set 2nd hand is from German Ebay.

Yes I'm good thanks Dave. I keep meaning to try and get along to one of these Boxhill meets. Couldn't make this one as I was in Cyprus.

Tbh, most bikes will be as fast as each other up until 100'ish....so tis irrespective of whether it's a 6r or a ZZR14. In fact a 6r may even be faster at launching as it won't need to shut off coz of wheelies???

I agree - anything 600cc plus to a tonne will all be marginal on the open road - thereafter the difference shows.

A 600cc with a good rider in the right conditions will give any decent car a hammering - I never struggled with passing any cars 0-100.

So, that shows then the Kwaker 600 in David's video I would say was definitely trying but clearly had no hope!

Thanks ADE and Neil for the education on bikes

TBF, the 6 was much slower on the day because we were 3 & 4 up.... I always SHITTT myself every time I gun it and it never gets any better regardless that I'm used to the power and knows the car well. To say it frightens me is an under statement and full respect is given when ever I drive it hard.

I'm so glad to have come to the meet and took you guys out cos the 6 was a project/ goal to achieve 9xx ps without the help from the big boys for the hardware ( hats off to Ricky Elder for putting it together and MRC to custom map it) ... it was sweat and tears in the doing and it's nice that same like minded people appreciate the car. Thank you guys.

It's a real credit David to you - but to be fair, I doubt most of us would get behind the wheel and not let a little nugget out!

No matter how intimate and closely connected you get to a car, if it still makes you want to fill your pants each time you drive it, then:

1) you've succeeded in building a monster!
2) It commands the upmost respect with no room for complacency!

Hello fellow Audi owners, it was really good to meet you all. I must apologise for the unclean state of the car the meeting took me by complete surprise. It was only the fact that a red RS4 was going balls out in front of me sounding like a wailing banshee and then turned into Rykas, and me being me I decided to follow. My respect to all, some proper tasty cars.
I must keep an eye on this forum in the future.
