Just in case you are interested

Fighting Torque 2007 - 34mb @ 8minutes (WMV)

Great vid Flea.

Your coop looks reiculously quick. You much have surprised a lot of very expensive machinery.

Jesus Christ Flea, your coop is a monster.

Crazy fast!
Nice vid

Fccuk me, that vid was good!

Flea, you are the man.

Although if I'm critical, the music made me think i was in a tapas bar

it was the music that done it for me

haha

excellent!

Nice one Flea ! Showed everyone how to do it .

Phil

Wow, excellent video! I'm so glad you battered that Hyundai coupe too!

Good sound track, great video!
Looks bloody fast.
What kind of power is that fiat coupe?

see his sig haha

Great vid

Excellente .

Baz

Greatest Coupe Video off all time...
I'm so proud of the Coupe... I fell like it's mine
ahhahaah

Hope one day you get your fuelling sorted in top gear.. I can't believe how much you coasted towards the end and they still didn't catch you!

The fueling at the top of 5th is a bit of an odd one. It's sometimes ok up to about 6700rpm and then instantly goes to pot. The Apexi was partly to blame although further investigation might prove it is actually totally to blame! Must admit I was gutted that I couldn't go flat out all the way given it still had another 1000rpm to go Really wanted to see what times and speeds she could have done. That's not to say she wasn't very very quick mincing all 5 opponents.. next time

Glad everyone likes the music (Rodrigo Y Gabriella), thought it gave the story some energy

P.S. Who says coops can't launch

Thats some phenomenenal work there flea, you saw them off pretty damn well!

Do you think I should put it on Youtube, never done this before?

Defo Flea. U need an account or i can put it on for ya?

Ross

You need to put it on Youtube as i cant seem to get it to play

Neeeeed to see this

I'll put it up then

Can you also post the vid on Pistonheads? Someone has put 6 clips on from that meeting on there, but its all of TVR's with most of them winning... so you need to show that lot on there what really happened!!

Borely

Its easy to do, just download the WMV file and get video lan (VLC - free player).

I had similar problems with firefox, but I could download it in safari and play it on VLC..

Now on Youtube

Greg, there were plenty of very fast TVRs there a few of which had better times on the day... if the car had been running right I am certain I could have pipped them all though Not bad for a scrabble wagon

Yep, very impressive for a scrabble wagon
Pan, pan, pan, oh whats that... my lovely coop! Ha Ha!

Also loved the 'wait for him to catch up' moment.
Excellent work mate!

brill brill brill and Excellent, bloody brill aswell,nice work there mate verey well done,

Great vid Leighton, so makes me want to get mine up and running

I did also post it in the video section when you asked

Superb vid flea
Very powerful 20vt you have there

Great work Flea.

Mark

Brilliant vid, bet you surprised a few people at the event

Nice starts I need another run in the beast

What was the event and brief before the event?

The latest issue of Autocar is out which has a 3 page article covering the event by Chris Harris. The last paragraph I quote,

"He'll also need to persuade some Ferrari owners to attend. Not one fast Fiat was there last Sunday, and that was a shame"

Erm, cough COUGH... now I know what he means but it would have been nice if he had qualified that statement with a little quip about a certain Fiat Coupé flying the "Fast Fiat" flag

What faster fiat was he expecting?

Ross

Enzo perhaps

Lol.....

Fiat tho?

Again dude, well done.

Ross

Ross, you have failed to absorb the subtle humour that Chris Harris was trying to make. Ferrari is owned by Fiat ergo a Ferrari is a fast Fiat, this is what he was alluding to. I was alluding to the fact there was in fact a "Fast Fiat" there, ged it?

Come on Flea, that comment deserves a letter in from you - get drafting 'With regards to the comment in the most recent copy of Autocar reference Fighting Torque 2007, I beg to differ but......'.

We'll all sign to say you want a written apology in next months issue......

Mark

Sorry. Typical interweb language block!!!

Ged it now.

Ross

Flea, send a tongue-in-cheek letter to the autocar letters page correcting Chris harris that there was in fact, a bangle-penned italian supercar present, albeit one you can pick up for 3K.

Go on. Go on. Go on go on go on

I reckon they'd print it too.

I read that in Autocar today too and definitely think it deserves a letter.

I've been getting Autocar for the last 15 years and they've always been pretty positive about the coupe, so I think there's a good chance of getting a letter printed - especially if you include a nice photo.

Send them your video clip too - just to hammer the message home.

Yep write in Flea. For a car that barely costs 1/10th of a lambo.....

Do these car magazine actually own the cars then? Or do they do a sort of long term lease? (Do chief editors get payed enough to afford lambos?)

Hey, that is one fast Tipo
Nice to see one Coop in that group of cars and the Coop kicks ass

Anyone know Chris Harris email address, do they publish them in ther magazine?

I can't believe how well you got off the line Flea, alongside those RWD cars you'd seemed to get as good a launch!

Impressive indeed, I'm scrabbling away usually with half the amount of power your coupe has But I'm terrible at properly launching the coupe anyway (way too much mechanical sympathy )
