kloon Posted June 6, 2006 Posted June 6, 2006 Maybe see you whizzing by me on that road sometime Philip, go for a run along there quite often, tis a quality road.
ormiboy Posted June 6, 2006 Posted June 6, 2006 Nice clip, if you did that every day tho you would not last a month.
slo2 Posted June 6, 2006 Posted June 6, 2006 Partially agree with you Chris 1 The road to KH is v good used to live upthere ...try keeping to your own lane and not cut the sweeping corners it feels about 30mph faster! 2 I let my wife drive my STi with the kids in it...as fast as she likes. 3 Single guys with no kids and nothing to loose but their life or licence always make faster better drivers....not. 4 The difference between fast and dangerous is perception. 5If you choose not to be reckless / not to drive excessively fast / comment on other peoples driving in any thing but 100% positive manner this does not make you ( worst insult possible coming up ) a woman. If you post on here accept praise and critisism. SIDC is a broad and tollerant church and if it aint it should be!
philip_wilson Posted June 6, 2006 Author Posted June 6, 2006 Thank you all for your comments good and bad. I know there area lot of people out there who will not approve and think it’s just foolish andit’s not the place to be driving like that but at no point was anyone put atrisk. I’m a family man with two very young children (not in the car at the timebefore any one asks) and will never take a risk or do anything that may put mylife or someone else’s at risk. Some of you may think this is not the casegoing by the video clip but I would like to point out that it was late evening verygood visibility, weather and road conditions, only nine other cars and onemotorbike on the road at the time. Over taking and cutting corners was onlydone when it was safe to do so!!!! At no time was the car or I out of control.I feel the video clip makes the trip look faster than it was as I have justwatched a video clip of a friend doing the same run on his R1 and it makes myclip look gay.
philip_wilson Posted June 6, 2006 Author Posted June 6, 2006 Nice clip, if you did that every day tho you would not last a month. Thats now over ten years and I'm still here
sharon_mccall Posted June 6, 2006 Posted June 6, 2006 I loved your clip, and think you drove very well. You didn't at any point seem out of control. If this was the SNC (scottish knitting club)[:|], i could maybe understand why some people were against your video.[] However, as a fast driver and lover of speed myself i really enjoyed it. Nice one [Y]
Gumball Posted June 6, 2006 Posted June 6, 2006 lol, well said Sharon I think someone picked up on my comment earlier. It was meant in the way of- Nice golf shot, does your husband play too? all in jest. all in jest.
andrew_lally Posted June 6, 2006 Posted June 6, 2006 every single person on here, young and old, has driven like this on the main roads!!! anyone denying this fact is just kidding themselves on in my opinion!!! we all get the rush of blood from time to time..... live and let live!!!!!! regards andy......
fai17 Posted June 6, 2006 Posted June 6, 2006 Yes.....live and let live!!!![Y] Need a fix soon for myself...
david_taylor Posted June 7, 2006 Posted June 7, 2006 Good clip In no way condoning it as I would be a hypocrite! However, just to put things in perspective. I know of a copper up north, subaru driver and ex traffic fed, so he was one of the most trained drivers you can get on the road. He was driving on the A82, not far after luss, came round the corner at a fair speed that 4 wheel drive can handle easily. There was a diesel spill on the road, lost control and wrapped it round a tree. He is now parallised from the waist down and needs a machine to breath. Point is that although I may drive llike this on country roads on occations, there is no such thing as safe conditions, road etc to push a car like that. You never know what is round the next corner Reaction time to a slide, corner clip, broken down car on bend or anything would be seconds and most likely extremly hard to get away with. Still we all take chances eh! Keep safe all!
bigbadboab Posted June 7, 2006 Posted June 7, 2006 Do you really sit down to pish? Yes, I'm getting old.[:$][:$][:'(] Good vid Phil.
scoobymark Posted June 7, 2006 Posted June 7, 2006 Looking good m8, nice bit of driving, just what a scooby is for![Y] You are the same as me, hope we never meet yourself coming the other way[]
G.T. Posted June 7, 2006 Posted June 7, 2006 goin yersel ya maddy[Y] you lot are a bunch of hypocrites you dont buy a scoob to drive like miss daisy, id find it pretty hard to believe that everyone of you has never drove like that at some point during your scoob ownership.
weeb Posted June 7, 2006 Posted June 7, 2006 and another thing................................................... the guy enjoyed himself and has a good stretch of back road. we have all driven in that manner and had fun and are still here to tell the tale! if you think about the worse that can happen you wont enjoy yourself!!! ps. a take it the dr pepper or coca cola is now flat?
scoobyfuzzy Posted June 7, 2006 Posted June 7, 2006 nice vid mate, but would like to say, i wouldnt be to sure about posting up a vid like that on a public forum, and especially saying wot road it was on, never know whos on here reading the post, just my own opinion thou. fuzzy
imprezapete Posted June 7, 2006 Posted June 7, 2006 I loved your clip, and think you drove very well. You didn't at any point seem out of control.

Nice one [Y] Yeah agree with Ruby the driving was not to bad, one corner I wouldnt do now a days. But I think Sharon and Gumball could tell you some of my driving from the Lothians run last year and call your video tame. Although I have lost the lust for driving the scooby atm since money is short at the minute. Just have fun and not let it get to out of hand. []
dougster Posted June 7, 2006 Posted June 7, 2006 I thought the most dangerous thing was the possibility of that bottle jumping out of the holder!!!!!!!!!!!!! I did view the clip when it was first posted and thought it look fast but I find these little clips look faster than they really are????
Gumball Posted June 8, 2006 Posted June 8, 2006 then we drank a whole bottle of wine between the 12 of us and were totally steaming boats.
ANDYJDMSTI Posted June 8, 2006 Posted June 8, 2006 if this was the SNC (scottish knitting club)[:|], From my time at school i know that if it was the Scottish Knitting Club then it would be abbreviated as SKC!!!! [][]
philip_wilson Posted June 8, 2006 Author Posted June 8, 2006 I thought the most dangerous thing was the possibility of that bottle jumping out of the holder!!!!!!!!!!!!! No it was when the Camera man opened the bottle of coke
dougster Posted June 8, 2006 Posted June 8, 2006 I remember an old members first time at KH, approaching the hairpin for the 3rd time an unopened can of Irn Bru rolled into the drivers footwell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He's since bought a couple of EVOs!!!!!!!!!! [][][]

[] You can’t see it well on the video but the corner I cut after overtaking the car, you can see all the way round and up the road no hedges or anything the camera angle make it looks like you can’s see up the road but you sure can. Yes this video is tame mate [] I had a friend in the car playing camera man so was not taking any risks. I was going to post a clip of me doing thatrun flat out in the Scooby then on the Blade when I was on my own with the dash and tank cam and the video of my friend on his R1 but after some of the comments about this one I’ll just leave it.
philip_wilson Posted June 8, 2006 Author Posted June 8, 2006 i wouldnt mind a look at that [] I'm going to post it again soon
dougster Posted June 8, 2006 Posted June 8, 2006 Stick it on http://videos.streetfire.net/ Some real looney stuff on there which we don't condone but ALL watch!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You should get away to Stokholm mate!!! []
