How much fun!?!?!

Just unlocked the Michelin test track over lunchtime and had a few goes @ the skid pan, started off in the E60 M5 and scored about 6.5kK, then went back after tinkering on another track and had fun in the Yellowbird... 10,211K ... WOOOO HOOOOO Managed the full figure of eight about 3 times in a row before getting all OTT and spinning!

The good lady is out tonight, so I'm playing... ALL NIGHT!

Which bike did you use for that? I tried the MV Brutale, but just couldn't get it right...

I need to have another go with this just couldnt quite get to grips with it on sat, nothing to do with the amount of beer consumed of course.

also does getting huge amounts on the side pan add to your points to buy stuff?

He he.. yeah, I think we were all a bit wobbly!

You know you're welcome any time to come have a shot mate... I'm going to be getting some drifting practice in tonight!

btw, went out in Craig's 200 yesterday... just plain silly!

Played it for about 30mins last night on career and got through to the point where I unlocked the skid pan, cue a quick blat around scoring something like 19000 points in one go and picking up the figure of 8 achievement and then off to bed biggrin
