RE: PH Blog: back in the saddle

Is that the first drive of the 265 Mr el manno? Must be such a good feeling being able to get behind the wheel, albeit briefly.

Ive had my 265 for 3 weeks and have covered 2k miles. Running in took a week. Even if the engine doesnt need much in the way of running in the clutch and brakes certainly do. The clutch on mine was quite grabby at low speed at first and is now much more progressive.

I've been there and done the whole lose your licence thing, twice. Not recommended people, be good over the Xmas hol's!

The Megane track action looks fun, need to do a track day soon.

After some medical treatment, there was a stint I couldn't drive for. I hated every second- the lack of driving fun, the lack of self-determination, the shame of asking my mum for a lift from time to time when I was 31 years old... It was utter ste.

Getting behind the wheel of a car- any bloody car- was an enormous pleasure after too long of not being able to. Never mind a Renaultsport Megane on track, I'd have bitten your hand off for 5 minutes driving an Austin Maxi around a car park, honestly.

Good on you, Dan.

When I was better, I treated some friends who'd been ferrying me around to a Stunt Driving session. Nothing makes you feel you've recovered like a few J Turns.
