Three observations:
1) Those two nits should be wearing helmets. Any biker can tell you what a row a 60mph bluebottle makes clanging off your visor, imagine what
it'd to to your eye
2) Why has bloke is passenger seta got hold of a bag? Strap the flippin' thing down you nit!
3) It's incredible how well the human eye can function when in a roaring wind. The driver takes his shades off at an (indicated but disputed
further up this thread) 138mph and can presumably still see where he's going!
Still, cracking footage from (I presume) a bullet cam and one hell of a fast car

I think the 138 is probably dubious - I haven't been in a 7 at that speed but I doubt you would want to take your eye protection off, and if you did whether you could keep hold of them and pass them to your passenger - surely more likely to see them flying backwards. Can anyone comment?

Hi
Nice car, pity the kno* behind the wheel cant drive the bloody thing though..... all he is out to do is look good and impress the passenger.
I hate this DVD - it's awful.
Mike Brewer has clearly never seen a Tap before as he keeps going to his village idiot mate (apologies if that's someone's Uncle - I have a
habit of putting my foot in my mouth) to get a thread tidied up.
That bloke is a shocking driver. He's supposed to be national rally champ or something. Not exactly smooth.
if he is a national rally champ that might explain it. He's trying to throw the car around to make it oversteer - very rally ish approach.
Revett straight in MK Demo GSXR at snetterton 130+ MPH and my helmet was trying to leave my head!!!
I dont think they were doing that speed at all! Still great vid
Amazing vid...
Just ordered the dvd off the bay of 'E'
Bri,
Its a crap DVD and that mike brewer is a pain in the ass and has not got a clue what he i going on about.
They just trivialise the build process.
Its a propper cheque book build, well not a build at all really, westfield assembled most of it and put it in a box and they opened it!
99% of the electrics seemed to get done overnight when the 2 guys building it were at home
If I remember rightly you can see 'Stomp' from the (much, much more enjoyable) "A Racecar is Born" series in the credits.
That would explain the electrics.
