That was a waste of 30sec's of my life!

[stigmundfreud]

never since Stevie Wonder stopped making porno have I seen such camera work

thought your cars springs were knackered?

[SOULCREW]

yeah sorry about the poor camera work,my camera was left with an amateur ....those few seconds were all that was left after i edited out shots of feet and some grass :P

as for the spring,i thought sod it i want some fun...and it didnt seem to be affecting the car at all.even the lack of abs and traction control didnt seem to affect it much either.

very impressed how well she handled on the track considering how heavy these things are.

I bet you were gutted with the way the film came out.

They are pretty nimble on track, all things considered, aren't they. I've never driver Llandow, but as an airfield circuit, I would think it's fairly open?

[SOULCREW]

the run off is non existant :O i was too wound up to instruct the camera boy or even set up the camera for stills.

funny how the nerves vanish when you hit the track

[ARAF]

A bit like my local circuit. The lack of run-off does focus the mind though.

[SOULCREW]

yes indeed

[stigmundfreud]

Goodwood is good for focussing your eye! (Lad got killed the week after by rolling his Ferrari )

aye but it is a very quick track and lots of fun, there is one section that can catch you out as its very fast, sweeping bend, change direction with positive and negative g in one go, that's where he lost it

The week after what? The week after Stevie Wonder stopped making pornos?

Would this be the accident in a 360 over 9 years ago?

[stigmundfreud]

yes, it was that long since I last did a day there back in the 350z! Great track, the guy in the 360 was an OAP like you wasn't he?

I'm taking the Ute out to Zandvoort next month. Not sure if I'm looking forward to it - but I know that if I chicken out and take something else instead, I'll regret it.

[SOULCREW]

do it

Damned if I do, damned if I don't.

In the past, when I've turned chicken, I've regretted it. However, in the bad weather last year, I toughed it out in the VXR8 but my little FWD car on winter tyres would have been a better call.

so you're going to a track that's known to be a little "tight" (and someone crumbly last I saw it) - nice knowing you xx

should be good, I'd take a 500 quid banger (monaro) there though

It could be a dirt track, and still be a challenge, so I'm not worried about that. It has got some fast bends, so I think I'll have to drive well within my capabilities.

I was thinking that an old E39 M5. No one would mourn the passing of one of those old shytters.
