Nice to see you and the car on Top Gear, shame they didn't make more of it..

Good result thou all in all!

Alex

 

Agreed.

Well done Si!

Si, when's your first supermarket opening?

 

When Simon came on I fainted with excitement and missed it all.....

What a hero

Simon will you still speak to us all now you're famous???

Well done Simon.

You should have been wearing some scoobynet clothing.

Lee

 

His press agent will answer that Sal

 

Next thing ,he will be in "Eastenders"
driving around "The Square" in some Krap plot !!!

 

Nice one Simon - really showed the pro's how its done. Very calm hands!! Video'd it so will have another look to see if I can leard something.

DT

 

Simon, you're too humble for them lot!

They just couldn't accept that a 'non-pro' beat them all!

Well done mate, yet again, and hope to see you go onto bigger and better things - it's about time isn't it?

See you sometime!

Richard

 

He even managed to look like he knew what he was doing

 

Nice one Si.

What do you reckon to Pedro's excuse on how he is not gonna be very good ?

 

Good stuff. Even some humility for the cameras ("That was a good lap", "Really?")

I thought it would be a bit longer (the camera angles were crap too -- no impression of sideways). The Autocar article was lacking in detail compared to previous years, too (in the past it gave individual scores for both cars).

 

Great showing Simon.

Nice to see the WRX on TV at last.

It looked the bollox.

That nod to the camera though, cracked me up mate.

 

Thanks guys

It was a great day. The pro drivers were completely cool, it has to be said. Not a hint of negativity.

Everyone was joking around, but they were all INCREDIBLY serious once they got in the car.

Pedro's comment was bang on.. you don't need that kind of car control to drive in F1.. that is NOT a negative statement, as you need a totally different type of car control.

I KNEW I'd have forgotten to hold the belly in!!!!

If the camera adds 40 pounds, I hope there were at least 5 cameras on me!!!

All the best

Simon

 

LOL @ john..
I have to say, I was a wel chuffed they chose the nodding bit!! If they chose that as the best bit, you can imagine what the rest must have been like!!!

 

Top stuff - makes me a proud to be a member of ScoobyNet

A new question for the pub - how many world record holders do you know then?



ChrisB.

 

Congrats Simon, quite an achievement.

 

Absolutely brilliant seeing the in car shots, looks so serene from the outside - and on the inside ! ! !

I must, say Simon did look far more controlled (is that the right word ?) than the other guys - hands flailing, opposite lock this way and that.

Well done !!!

 

IMHO Simon looked far more sideways than the rest of them as well

 

Shame it wasn't in a WRX round Mira, eh?

Good work, Mr DeB

 

You once told me that you like it sideways best - I thought it was a sexual deviation - but now I understand

Well done!

Pete

 

Top one SDB. The folks watched as well. Had no choice, I had the remote. Well chuffed to see Scoobynet and your success on the goggle box.

Shame they didn't make a whole feature out of it.

Is some of the footage going to be on the CD Roms?

Congrats,

P.

 

Rock on mate !!!

Next stop Hollywood !

Dave

 

OOOPPPPAAALLAAAAHHHH wicked, amazing, incredible job Simon.

Congrats on your World Record. You looked sooooo smooth in the WRX.

& coming second in Autocars sideways challenge. Its a shame they didn't mention the record in the mag, but I suppose they were all peeved at getting wipped by you.


Nice one


M

 

Fantastic stuff. The world record looked amazing.

Simon, how the hell to you practice for such an event? Is there a roundabout up the road from your house with some neat grooves worn into the road?

 

I can't believe that:
a) I missed it
b) That nobody has tried to crack a "good job I was watching SDB on a widescreen TV" type joke.

David H.

 

Cor, I dunno Si....

Being the World Record holder I was expecting you to win

Matt

 

Nice one mate.

 

Nice one Simon!

I must admit, the stationary shot of the M3 looked awesome! Mmmmmmm...... oh well, TT soon!

Mossman

 

Despite some serious mickey taking from the girlfiend (no typo) I watched and taped the show. Disappointed they didn't make more of what was definitely the most interesting part of the programme. Coming second to the the Lotus guy is certainly no disgrace either!

 

SDB - top stuff mate - thought you did superb, and I never realised that the Scoob in your MIRA attempt was going that much sideways Must have been difficult so well done.

Bob - dont worry, I have it on tape so will lend it you on the next meet - autumn karting??
