Off Topic Brooklands Hill Run

[Palio]

The Brooklands hill run thread is up - you don't really need a link do you - it's a pain to link using the phone!!

Anyway would be good to see a Panda going up. Anyone going to put their name down? I'll probably be sans Panda at this one just to give a 127 some exercise. How would a 750 Panda do on the hill???!!

Kev's Sisley is on video 3 years ago but I didn't see it in person. Again I'm not posting the link as I'm too lazy.....

I've done it twice...both are on YouTube by Jon. Two runs per car, the videos are from the inside and the outside. One in the Sisley and one in poppi the 1000cl.

A 750 will have no problem...there is a knack though, so whoever does it I can talk them through it.

Is Pinky going VmanC ? That would be good publicity particularly if someone spoke to Messrs Ward to get an announcement done :idea:

Sometimes I surprise even myself!!!

If only someone had a 16v conversion with uprated suspension
That would be fun to see

Anyone going to put a 4x4 forward??

 

[panda panda]

Can I put forward Aston Martin as a driver - he needs the practise

Thought someone was gonna go there.
Looks like it's gonna be Panday 6: Santa Pod.

As soon as I saw the title I thought, 750, 34bhp. Hill climb

EDIT: Just watched a video. Not going to get out of first gear then

Steepest hill in England is in the south... Porlock hill.

 

[Palio]

Most infamous hillclimb is South too - just a couple of hundred yards from me. Very steep but don't know how it compares to others.

We really MUST get some Panda's together for this year's Kop Hill event. And in case you didn't know an accident in 1925 led to the ban on racing on public roads in the UK.

Btw anyone wanting to go up Kop Hill just visit my Panda sanctuary and I'll show you where it is.

Spoken like a true'un.

As a fully-paid-up flat-cap wearer; ferret owner; lover of tripe and pikelets; and anything else that abides by the most northern of clichés... -- I have to go back to my parents (in Lankyshire) every couple of months: so I can breathe in the Pennine air, and remember what it's like to be several hundred feet above sea level.... By 'eck.

Is that it?

A little bump in the road?

When is it and how much does it cost? I may be able to get the Fantasia up there or even the £999 Challenger if it's ready in time.

 

[panda panda]

We've got bigger speed humps than that in Yorkshire!

Get the up Sutton Bank or Garrowby Hill, now that's hill climbing!

Hence why its just a Hill Run, not a full fledged Hill Climb because its not a long hill. 1 in 4 gradient at the top though.

Must be starved of entertainment round that neck of the woods.....

Is there a paint drying demonstration there too?

Funny you should mention that, we also have a grass growing afternoon. Not like up t'north where all you have to eat is a handful of cold gravel

Eh??.....you need to be chosen/invited to to it. Cost is the entry to the event at brooklands. You really must read other stuff on the forum..
