Ok name an area and a place you think would be good for some nice dodgy streetracing - or just mounting a camcorder and re-enacting Getaway in Stockholm) http://300zx.co.uk/200sx/ubb/biggrin.gif
I'll start off
Essex:-
Chelmsford (the circuit round the ing road and parkway is good for p!ssing off trafgfic cops http://300zx.co.uk/200sx/ubb/wink.gif
Colchester (got to be a good circuit here)
The new A130 (A12 to rettendon - 9 miles of pretty smooth, gentle curves. Ideal for a top speed run .... dead at night also) http://300zx.co.uk/200sx/ubb/biggrin.gif
------------------
Standard S13 with extras;)
No Gearbox :(
The roads round my way are very good twisty country A-roads... 100+mph if you're brave enough...

My area would be good, B class single track roads, very thin, twisty, blind summits and wildlife, good for 100+mph on a mad day

I've done 70 through Plymouth city centre in my old rover 213. http://300zx.co.uk/200sx/ubb/smile.gif
I woke up 2hrs late for a ferry. http://300zx.co.uk/200sx/ubb/smile.gif
Did 240miles in 2.75 hrs, about 86mph average, not bad for a D reg Rover bitch. http://300zx.co.uk/200sx/ubb/smile.gif
I did crash it in France within about 2 hours of being there though, some idiot local guy was on the wrong side of the road when I pulled out infront of him. http://300zx.co.uk/200sx/ubb/wink.gif

213 had a honda engine, 216 didn't that's the key methinks. http://300zx.co.uk/200sx/ubb/wink.gif

Yo!!!
Anyone flying through Bristol town?
I'm getting fed up of blowing away all the Novas, Escorts, Cavailers, CORRRSAS ect..
I had a race with a "P" reg astra turbo the other day! Still no fun, lost him at 120mph
The M32 leaving the town Centre is good to go up and down!
Anywhere in Swindon has got to be worth it ..... its the roundabout capital of the world ... hang your back ends out !
Im personally a big fan of the road that runs through docklands - Ive had some tussles on there with a griffith, a T5 and a fiat spidery thing. Lots of roundabouts and straights - top fun in the wet http://300zx.co.uk/200sx/ubb/smile.gif http://300zx.co.uk/200sx/ubb/biggrin.gif

Gotta agree Docwra - best road round here, except for the dozy sods who try to cut you up just for the hell of it.

Corsa drivers...sod 'em if they can't take a joke!

Oh yes, forgot about that and I drive on them everyday to work http://300zx.co.uk/200sx/ubb/biggrin.gif Took a mate out on a circuit (Becton - Silvertown - Canning Town - A13 to Barking - Back down Docklands Road.) Scared him Sh!tless http://300zx.co.uk/200sx/ubb/biggrin.gif

I'm on that road almost every day - still never spotted either of you! Maybe my 200's invisible?

OK, who's all been watching 'The fast and the furious' too much http://300zx.co.uk/200sx/ubb/wink.gif
If there's any more bad behaviour like that, I'll send you straight to bed without supper http://300zx.co.uk/200sx/ubb/biggrin.gif

Merely stupid, and was sooo late for my ferry.
Was 3 years ago to so maybe less gastos then, didn't see any besides I had already decided not to give a sh*t if I had as going on holiday was my main concern. http://300zx.co.uk/200sx/ubb/smile.gif
Jezz.
The Bull RIng round Birmingham city centre used to be mad on a saturday night! I am going back maybe 6 or 7 years now though.
It didnt used to start until midnight, but then all hell would break loose with nutters doing 80 plus throught the city streets, lined with people! http://300zx.co.uk/200sx/ubb/redface.gif
I stopped going after a couple of incidents that involved a Rover(I think) ploughing through a bank window and some loon hoying a paving slab through the front window of a passing plod car!!
I couldn't afford the fuel to get the S13 to Brum and back now though http://300zx.co.uk/200sx/ubb/frown.gif

I think the street racing still goes on in bham!:O I went down there a few times to race last year..it was great fun..they had this garage outside a orad which they used to drag down. Got too dangerous tho as some of the ppl there didnt like losing and got a bit violent..hehe. The amount of times I saw crashes also put me off a bit..hehe
Theres a group of us who like to practice a bit of street racing in Coventry if anyone wants to join us? Its great fun..theres an NSX, Skyline and Civic SiR in our small group. We only do it when its safe and the road is clear :D honest dad....
Has anyone seen Initial D btw? :D

Ha Ha, that was a m8 of mine(not the paving slab :), it was a Monty turbo, an he broke a pedestrians leg. They made an example of him, banned him for 5 years and gave him a year in jail. From then on ther were riot vans at every junction :( but it's bein revived (hopefully without ****s in Monty turbo's) it's not regular yet, but if does get so, i'll let y'all no :)

HEHE...sounds mad!!
One of the reasons i stopped going was cos a friend of mine who drove a tuned mazda 4x4 turbo used to win alotta drag races. He used to get a bit mouthy when he won..so...some guys went round to where he lived and beat him up! Im not up for that...hehe
