If you were there, you'll all know the one i mean

What system was it?

Kin loud in a high pitched whistle kind of way.

Mikey

 

May have been mine, PPP with decat centre. I've heard someone elses with a v similiar set up which sounds like you describe!

Mine had P1 wheels.

 

Didn't look at the wheels.....to busy cowering behind the pit wall trying to stop my ears bleeding

Very distinctive noise though.

Were there any other de catted ppp's out there?

Mikey

 

Couldn't agree more Mikey. I was thinking more F16 than Scoob coming out of the hairpin on the loop in the afternoon session.

 

>> Were there any other de catted ppp's out there?

I would imagine so

Do you know the reg? Mine ends VUB

 

I thought it had silver wheels? Not sure.

 

someone else posted this of me:

 

That's my photo Greg

 

Well, not DBM but PTMW! too got the same comment

By Davyboy with an explanation by Mick

I guess Greg's might've been a wee bit louder than mine as PTMW! is PPP only.

[Note to self - listen out for Gregh's motah under full chat ]

 

and stum on any discussions re mods if you come to Leeds Puff!

Greg

 

yeah I heard that scoob 'an all.
Sounded totally unique. 'F'in loud that's fer sure.
Can't believe it's like that for just a de-cat centre, surely?

A

 

I was on pit wall too.........
What a strange noise,jet turbine springs to mind

How many people have you scared sh1tless overtaking on the road?
Yoza

 

Greg,

I've just seem that picture of your car and for some bizarre reason dived under the bed clasping my hands to my ears.

You sir have affected me

Mikey

 

 

probably not mine if it's fcukin loud, mine's not loud but it does sound like a jet engine as do most PPP cars!

Greg

 

Was that the car that flashed me out of the way?

Soz if it was.

 

davyboy,

I flashed 2 people who were seriously holding me up, no worries

What car was yours?

Greg

 

I have the White MY01, gold wheels, BFO spoiler. (the one there are no pics of on track )

If it was you, soz, I usually get out of the way pretty quick. I noticed whoever it was closed up pretty good on the brakes, I then noticed they had AP 6 pots.

 

I did flash a white 01, I had slicks and Brembo 4 pots

Greg

 

Yeah that was it!

I remember thinking ooohhh, no wonder he closed up so much on corners

DBM is a little popular!

 

Until my films come back from Boots.

 

Good man!

 

No guarantees on quality or them in being in focus though!

 

Chris

Your a$$ is gra$$ if they're no pics of me

Where was you hiding anyway? Never saw you all day



The thing about a PPP is that there is b'all noise at low revs, a light rumble under half load & whistlin' demons under full chat I'm really glad I had that over SS (sorry Pete) as it fulfils my requirement of "stealth" car

 

Oh, , time to get busy with Photoshop

I was wandering with my cameras most of the day.

 

The DBM car you're talking about belongs to Mr Jon Parsons. (Number plate was ScoobyJ) It does sound like a jet engine on full chat and is producing around the 300bhp mark.It was out on track mid morning so if it's around that time you saw it then that's the car you're referring to. (Was sittin nice and low due to it's Leda suspension,also had race tyres too)
Sadly he blew the turbo on it on the day!!!!

Nick

P.S: Forgot to mention it's an MY01

 

You can say that again, they are the new silver

That jet engine sounding scoob was shifting and bloody loud I was staring for ages trying to work out which car it was, I kept saying it couldn't be a scoob but it was

I have heard PPP scoobs before, they sound nothing like that thing

What exactly is done to it to make it sound like that??????

 

I thought the DBM classic shape that sounded like a jet had a private plate, something like ****MX. Who's going to own up to having this car?

Mark.

 

Good point Mark, the MX plate rings a bell now!

 

remembering that sound makes me feel nauseous from just reading this thread - its all come rushing back to me.

Not being a conspiracy theorist but I reckon the whole Donnington event could have been a cover up for a top secret test of the jet powered MY03?
