VXR Power Fest

This up coming weekend Silverstone are hosting the VXR Festival. It is a hugh event where all VXR fans can drive, be driven and watch professionals such as Tom Chilton attack the Silverstone circuit or watch Paul Swift do his precision driving. Every VXR model will be there including the latest Insignia VXR including clubs and tuning companies whom will be showing off there products. There’s plenty more and prices are fairly cheap at £10 for one day or £15 for both Saturday and Sunday.

I will be there and am most looking forward to the Pro vs Amateur race. I will be taking the HD camera and will try to get inside a VXR and show them BTCC drivers how its done

Abit of a update

Today www.Spirited-Driving.com has been given abit of a refresh. Its abit brighter and cleaner looking. A Few new features like the Tweet button at the bottom of each page so you can tweet away about the site. This combined with the other updates recently like the video player and picture gallery make for a much better experience. Also Id like to welcome a new blogger aboard who has joined us. He’s a completely qualified car enthusiast, owning such cars as MR2′s Zetec’s and even a mini if I recall. Not to mention hes a pretty good driver to boot. I have no doubt he will be a interesting addition to Spirited-Driving.com

MR2 The Damage

After getting the car home, I recorded this video to show off the damage. Although it seems mostly cosmetic, there was damage to the chassis and wheel alignment which wrote the car off

The MR2 Roadster crash video

I’ve finally figured out how to play and host videos myself without having to use youtube or any other public video host. So I’m much more willing to post more sensitive videos. So without further adooo, this is the crash I had which killed the MR2.

Although it was unlucky to come off the road, the actual crash was lucky in regards to how it unfolded. I somehow mounted the curb while my car was horizontal to it yet avoided rolling the car. Then the front marginally missed the main wooden telephone post. Then I lucky impacted the double posted sign which hit my car dead straight center from behind, which slowed me down violently, yet probably alot nicer than the stone wall behind the post.
