Pistonheads meet

Pistonheads (South West) had a meet at Cheddar Gorge last Sunday, big carparks etc makes it a great location.

Some very exotic (and erotic!) machinery there with drivers who weren't afraid to "use" their cars either!

Saw a newish M5 there in Black, that was about it for the BMW boys!

We did a "Loudest exhaust" challenge, battled out at the last moment between a Gallardo and my mates Corvette.......the 'vette won with a reading of 126.6db (Peak). Hearing the Gallardo's V10 screaming and bouncing off the rev limiter in the gorge was pure sex. I didn't take my video camera otherwise I'd have video of it.

//edit - Noise test video!

Corvette - I think his right foot slipped a little

Aston Martin Vantage, exhaust sound test......he's not afraid is he??

Here's a few pics of the highlights!

Ford GT

Lamborghini Gallardo

This was one of the three car parks we took over, the Polis arrived and he was great!! Loved the cars and he was a great laugh.

Gallardo noise testing!

Any others here PH'ers?

Nice variety of motors there. Looks like a good meet-up.
