Well, an interesting set of pictures, and a nice variety of cars, even an Opel GT.
I think I saw a few I recognised amongst those R21t's.
A Skyline, a white GTA and a yellow A310.
How did you guys get on?

[Alpineandy]

First time I've tryed it.
first one I was still winding the window up when the lights changed.
Reaction time 2.8 secs.
1/4 mile time 16.3secs

Second one
Reaction time 0.7 secs
1/4 time 16.118secs

Third one
Reaction time 0.8 secs
1/4 time 17.2 secs
big fluff 1st to 2nd gear

Generally well pleased to be under 17 secs.

I was quite gentle with the clutch and don't know how soon I'll do it again as I don't want to pay for a new one and this really pushes them.

But generally

Looks like it was a good show.

[Alpineandy]

OH, I forgot to mention Shadi did 1 run only and got under 16 sec (GTA Turbo) and Tony Smith did 2 runs under 13 secs (Japanese spec GTA Turbo..... OK It was the Skyline, but Renault are the majority shareholder of Nissan!).

Just seen my car, the yello peril (and steves etc etc...) on 8pm Men and Motors used car roadshow!

I guess it's repeated some time...
