Default Mark Higgins Near Crash at 150 mph @ 2011 Isle of Man TT

I know this has been posted elsewhere on the forum but I thought this was not to be missed. An amazing save & I'd hate to think what may have happened otherwise.

See, how would your Z have coped with that?

Nice to see you looking on enviously at us AWD drivers.

How's the Z going?

I'll always be a scooby fan & will be back one day. I'm just experimenting with RWD for the next year or so until I feel the flat four need once again. Z is going well but more thirsty than my bug was. Z feels solid and heavy but is a great cruiser and makes a lovely noise even from the standard exhaust. It hasn't scared me yet but plenty of time for that to happen. I'm getting Peter from Eclipse to give it the once over & make it shiny. I've got a few ICE things planned with Lee @ SF as well

Well I would hope it would crack 150mph on a private road of course.

Your in good hands with Lee, very thorough and a real perfectionist.
