A testament to Mitsubishi's incredible engineering, the AYC and pure mechanical grip struggle to control this buffoon, there's a few corners where he runs wide across the centre line and relies on the car to save him. A classic case of more car than talent. Hey gets totally carried away with himself in places, the overtakes on blind bends, or trying to apex a corner even though he can't see around it, taking himself right into the oncoming lane without any idea of what could be right around the corner, he could easily 10penceshort someone.

The car EVEN HAD A ROLL AGE FITTED.

Well, it had one sitting sideways in the back.

Anyway, mong. By all means have fun in a car, but do it to please yourself, not show off. Besides, drifting is the epitome of council.

Hence why I always say that when we're heading down from Hartside to Penrith to take it steady, as there's always one weapon trying to be Sebastian Loeb at Pikes Peak and usually failing miserably.

The guy driving is a complete weapon too, as I think I could do the run quicker on my bike without too much effort and certainly without running on to the other side on blind bends.

I am consistently bemused to read so many posts on PH from enthusiasts bigging up thier fast cars and thier driving exploiuts, but as soon as it's some kid in a Nissan in Carlisle at 4am in the morning everyone suddenly goes all Mary Whitehouse on him.

There is little difference between what this boy was doing and some of the driving alluded to regularly in Evo reviews on public roads.

But they are motoring journalists, educated white people with degrees from middle ranking universities, if they take out a nun with a basket full of kittens, they can be trusted to do the right thing, which is hire a decent lawyer and blame it on the stress of going through a divorce.

[Red Devil]

Are you implying that Lohin does not fall into the category of 'educated white people with degrees from middle ranking universities'?

White (according to photos of him): check.
Degree (Masters in Mechanical Engineering): check.
Middle ranking university (Northumbria: CUG rank 60/126): check

Found this. Says it all really.

Q3. Have you had a crash? If so how?
A. Too many too list. Normally just getting carried away or pushing it past the my limit

It's his continuing total lack of acceptance that he was doing anything wrong on Hartside which is worrying. A complete contrast to 10PS.

I'm glad someone mentioned 10PS. His case crossed my mind as well.

You might find that the people bigging up their exploits are not the same as those berating the driving in the OP.

PH is a big forum with a wide range of views.a

That was one picture, which was probably the only photo of him they could get. Perhaps his profile picture of his Facebook account, with this account set to private. Theres another in-car photo showing the cage fitted.
