Excellent news...

Guinness World Records have phoned me this morning to say that the record is now official and fully sanctioned.

We'll sort out the collection of the pledge money.

All the best

Simon

 

Excellent news! Might be the first time I've bought the book for about 20 years...

 

Simon,

You need to release an online video as well! Maybe also your interview on TopGear

We're not worthy...

Well done again Chapper

Fantastic - I'll have to get a blue plaque to recognise that the world record breaker and F1/BTCC/WRC driver-beater SDB once drove my car.

Congratulations Simon!

 

Congrats Si,

Is the record at 2Hr 11mins 18 secs?
I take it the mix up in the camera's was'nt an issue

Any news if it's going to be in the GBR? or just down as one of the ones they don't publish but still recognise?

When will it up on the website?

 

Well done mate.

<bud>

 

thanks guys

I don't know if it will be in the book..

but it should be on the website later today (or so they said).

It *is* 2 hours 11 mins and 18 seconds, which is a big relief as it was looking dodgy for a while.

All the best

Simon

 

heheh all we need to know now is the charity and where to send the cheques

What's the URL SdB?

 

The url is

 

Nice one Simon.

That site has just won the worlds worst to search record.

 

rubbish ....... i could have done better in a 10 year old RR !!!!

just kiddin' ... mostest congrats SDB. quite an achievement!!!! don't think i could hold a slide for 2.11 secs let alone hours !!!!

so you gonna crack 3 hours next time ?????

Sal.

 

Well done Simon

Good to see it recognised

 

Simon I am honoured to know you and I bow down to your greatness

Can't believe I know someone who's a world record holder

How cool is that?

Sal

 

all together now .......

WE'RE NOT WORTHY ..... WE'RE NOT WORTHY!!

Sal.

 

Nice one Simon, an excuse for Subaru to do a 'series De Banke' Impreza now

Sam

 

I'm with JackClark on the GWR site being one of the worst sites for searching (or anything else for that matter) I've ever had the misfortune to experience. I'm sure that the site only scratches the surface in terms of total records held. For instance, I couldn't find *my* record for being the laziest man alive anywhere...

If anyone else (with more patience than me!) manages to find SdB's record, please post the URL here - I'm itching to see it on an official GWR media.

 

Well it has to be said, I'm quite new to this site, and I was wondering who the hell this SdB geezer was.
But, I have just watched last nights TG and all I can say is Respect! Anyone who can hold anything sideways for that long, let alone something as world renowned for its traction levels as a Scoob deserves worship.

 

Simon,

Congratulations mate

My dad and brother were watching Top Gear and were "really" impressed with your driving

It is great to know you as you are a geniunely nice person and a World Record Holder!!!! Woohoo

Congrats again and here's to more sideway's drving and the 3 hour mark

Michelle.

 

Nice one Simon


Their search engine is absolute rubbish (IMHO), I've spent almost 2 hours, and just cannot find it. I can think of nothing else to search under
If anyone stumbles across it, let us know as it is really annoying me

 

Well mate, the time is nigh - you've been putting it off for long enough now. The time has come for you to present yourself to your legal representative and have your name changed by deed poll to 'Simon De Sideways'.

Has a certain "Je ne sais quoi" about it.

Cheers
Kav

 

Funny at work today everyone was on about this bloke on TG who spun an impreza for over 2 hours. I was asked if I knew the guy in question (as all impreza owners know each other ) and I just said nope never heard of him .

Well done m8

And I wonder if these guys are plotting another motorsport event .



Cheers

Well done mate, just watched TG and it looked pretty impressive. BTW, did you get Salsa-King to do you those stickers on the scoob
The GWR site is absolute pants, hell' even the scoobynet has a better search the the GWR

Nice one Simon

Looked cool on TG last night too

Bas

 

Simon do you realise you won't ever get caught by the police for speeding again? Simply travel to the nearest roundabout then slide round it continually for 2 hours until they spin off or run out of fuel!

Well done

 

Awesome Simon. Thank god it's be ratified after all the hard work put in by yourself and the sponsors, suporters.

*nods head in respect* (in slow motion)

ROFLMAO

 

Saw you on Top Gear and just read about the attempt in EVO magazine: nice work fella

Those tyres looked well dodge at the end. So what's next? A Sube with a extra fuel tank?

 

SDB congratulations on getting your record recognised.

Could you let me know where to send a cheque, I wasn't around when it was all organised.

Also, the pleading bit, did anyone record TG? My video decided not to bother working, I will replace the tape.
