No I'm not selling up....

No I don't have EDC problems.....

No it hasn't got a misfire.................

(yes I am lucky)

My M5 just keeps on trucking and doing this sort of thing year in / year out.


Shame about all the traffic

I hit 154.4 mph at Bruntingthorpe last Thursday....its very fast and having decent brakes helps....

Great stuff!

Top quality Alan .......it's great to see these cars running well and in their element .....

I lost count of the number of times that Sebring Sienna was bouncing off the top speed limiter on our last Ring trip in April !

Is that where you were heading ?

Thanks for sharing and showing why most of us love these cars !

Alan,

Nice one - David O's comments appear to have summed it up very nicely.

Looking forward very much to seeing what my UK LE really does top-end when we go back to the 'ring in July next month - with the Racelogic Performance Box fitted.

- Will post the results.

Keep up the good work !

Yes, this was on the return journey from the Ring.
Lots of Monday morning traffic...

(and when I say return leg I don't mean the M20 eh lads? )

L77 hit vmax a number of times during our last ring trip.

When i say vmax, I actually mean the Rev limiter in 5th....

First time it happened i shat my pants, thought the engine was about to blow up, it took another 2 times, before I realised that it was the rev limiter!!!



Good vid Al.


Steve
