InCar footage from Santa Pod BMW Show

Post by M@r]{ »

Couple of in car footage from Santa Pods BMW show yesterday. First outing in the car :shock: But it was a lot of fun and I'm really pleased with how she goes. One battle scar from the day - a tyre delaminated and bent my fuel cap :head: Aside from that the car was trouble free for the day.

Anyway couple of clips for your viewing pleasure ;)

Its not as bad as you may think. There is a tyre changer man there, he supplies and fits part worns (read tyres with 3mm tread) We get a deal when doing these days for Santa Pod. My tyre bill came to £55, but I did supply x4 tyres myself.

How many tyres in total did you get through ?

Great videos, How do you deal with DSC in the car, is it switched off or bypassed? I do not see the dash lights lighting up like a christmas tree. :)

How are the coilovers :wink:

Just switched off the normal way, the lights must be there somewhere :)

Coilovers are great. Fitting was a pig apparently!
