Guest Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 Just popping this one back to the top. I will be there with some Paramotors, (on the ground) and also the Skycar Sounds like a mad event!!! SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aquatix Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 In case anyone can't make this event there are a number of similar such things going on around the country where you can take rides in a variety of classic & modern supercars. I've had passengers up to 160mph and sideways in my TVR Tuscan S, although most take it a bit more sedately !!

andyopteryx Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 Cant get down to the Top Gear track unfortunately but might well check out the Sporting Bears one tomorrow. Thanks for the info Aquatix!. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morgy Posted May 9, 2010 Author Share Posted May 9, 2010 Hi all As this is a charity event and none of the drivers are pro's and as we are giving rides to the public 90% of the drivers take it fairly easy (no sideways drifting) i can asure anyone who wants to go and have a ride you WILL get an amazing ride. Everyone was told to hand back and take it easy last year BUT most of us were giving everything the car's had to give "i know i was" My record for for two laps was 4 ferrari's overtaken.. I can't wait to see the sky car go around the track. This is going to be a great event so please if you can make it come along... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 It will make for some great pics for sure, but it's not great on a track..... Give it some nice big dunes and a gravel track or some water, and it will stand a very good chance of being the fastest car there SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dantheman Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 Cool day out, great to see the guys there and the skycar getting some attention. Sorry Mark no piccys of your Atom, it was too quick ! At least someone did some flying.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete_b Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 Well all I can say is it was a brilliant day and finish it off in Style Mr Morgy took me round the track (some of it sideways ) in his very fast Atom, Thank you it was truly a blast and very enjoyable All the way home (I just looked in the mirror and it is still there) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats a proper fast bit of kit you got there morgy impressive. I'm tempted but it would get too silly. cheers mate. Col..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 Many thanks for sorting that one Morgster.... We had a great day, made loads of kids happy by letting them sit in the skycar and press buttons Got a couple of genuine training enquiries (one has already sent a text to confirm interest..) Dripping with fast motors, great vibe.. Glad I went this year will be there next year. SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aquatix Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 Looks like an excellent day was had by all. For those who missed it here is the link again to similar days, and Simon, if you have the time I'm sure the Sporting Bears would love to have the Sky Car at their events .....

morgy Posted May 17, 2010 Author Share Posted May 17, 2010 HI Thanks again simon and the team for coming I am glad you got some interest from possible students and thought it was worth all of your efforts to make it.. Dan no probs dude about the photos... as for being to fast for a photo you should have been there for the first lap when the battery chose to swell up and die!!!! I think i might be on the top gears' slowest lap board as i had to push her round half a lap with all the public watching.. shame you couldn't come for a ride. Thanks pete and col glad you guy's liked it and didn't nearly fall out like one women i had ride with me not sure if i should take that as my driving was good or bad Thanks again guy's Morgy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 I also need to thank Jim and Ivan for getting the Skycar there. Thanks mainly to Ivan (Parajet mechanic) for getting up at silly o-clock in the morning and driving it up to us on a trailer. SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
