AC Alfa GTA @ Silverstone 1967 - Tuesday, April 11, 2017

[Bobby Pennington]

Does this qualify as posh as fooook? If so, I'm out!

That is beyond Posh. That is extravagant, sinfully wasteful, inconsiderate and any other adjective you can think of. I told you I have that envy thing going on. Now I'm Jones'en for a rig like that. I too will be a cheater one day
Now that I've raked you over the coals, will you please sign me up
Isn't this the same layout as we attempted a few weeks ago? Fine by me because we had a blast. Allan did literally, but I think he's come back down to earth now

 

[Bobby Pennington]

Nah thats ok its anyway..

No it's not. Don't take it easy on these young guys Allan

 

[Bobby Pennington]

Erm,cockpits are excluded,paid the man his money for mine today,so C,MON delivery man..Wheres my Rig!!

Cheater, Cheater........I smell a ratt

 

[Bobby Pennington]

I had it re-routed to Murica to use for a second setup.

Yea @Allan Ramsbottom at my house

 

[Bobby Pennington]

Yeah, with the keyboard tray and shifter mount attached it's a little snug getting in and out but not too bad. I get out on the keyboard side so I can swing it out of the way. Looking forward to your review. I love mine, it's pretty much exactly what I wanted/needed.

Oh boohoohoo to you both. It's a little tight? I'll tell you what's not.......the stinking desk I'm driving

Several weeks ago but due to low sign ups the race never happened, so I figured I'd give it another shot since we seem to attract a slight crowd now. Just trying to hit some "vintage" tracks since they suit the car, but we don't have many so after this we'll be at modern tracks.

Well after a few days in my new "rig",and no its nots cheating btw,here is my summary, its KIN ACE,wot a difference from a swivel chair..Build quality is really good,sturdy no creaks, and seat is very comfy,a little narrow for my thighs,but thats just me..Im sat about 4 inch down on last chair so altered my triples accordingly,shifter is placed like a car,yep i measured it all,starter buttonbox moved,Tacho moved,twin speakers at back of chair,so im now ready to go go go!!!!.....Luckily i got this for half price which is a great bonus,but still worth the full asking price anyday...So its foot to the floor,ace the apex,s,and see you lot in my.....rear view mirror lol.....

Nice. I'm very pleased with my GT Omega, really surprising how much of a difference having everything firm and sturdy makes. You must have eyes in your knees to see that tach.

 

[Allan Ramsbottom]

Its the only place i could find lol..im fitting some fans on the support struts that mimmick real air flow...

Sweet setup Allan. Between VR and the Triple Screen setups you and Brandon have I realize I'm now guilty of "Coveting". My demise is imminent. I'm so freaking old school.

 

[Brandon Wright]

I have fans! I got this powered USB hub that has switches so you can turn each device on and off. I got two USB powered fans and set one behind each side monitor so if I get a bit warm I can just flip the switch and a fan comes on, if that's not enough I flip on the other one. You can see the USB hub to the right of my wheel.

Sounds like you might want something more like this though, it's two fans that blow in your face and they speed up/slow down depending on the speed of your car to mimic wind blowing in your face.

 

[Allan Ramsbottom]

yep there the 1,s but wont be by my face...

 

[Brandon Wright]

Gotta keep the "boys" nice and cool!

 

[PeyePete]

If this is still a "go", I'm in.

 

[Brandon Wright]

If this is still a "go", I'm in.

It is for now! I'll get you added.

 

[Bobby Pennington]

@Allan Ramsbottom and @Brandon Wright you guys do know I'm messing with you don't you
I'm still jealous though

 

[Steven Walker]

i want some of this..... @ Brandon Wright

 

[InsaneOzzie]

@Brandon Wright
I'll jump in, after the Abarth 500 @Nords how can I resist
@f1wheelnut
Does this qualify as too posh, its a DIY cause I'm a poor convict

 

[InsaneOzzie]

Just ran 20 laps in this cool old Alfa got into the 1.55's with some tweaking to the setup, I like the fact the old 67 Silverstone is flat as you could want, provides lots of room for a fast, stiff, low setup. Only issue is cool tyre/tire temps
TIP: warm the rears by doing a few donuts 1st

We thrive on your jealousy.
