New topic as other one was locked
How nice it was to drive today with not a spot of rain allowing me to enjoy all my horses...I'm sure a lot of you were equally as delighted with your drive. Happy Motoring folks |

it's awright for some that have a car to drive in the wet or dry
mine has been tucked up in henry bros since wednesday(some of you would say that's the safest place for my motor) new coils required, yesterday they've found an ABS speed sensor gone wrong, now today it's a wheel bearing and they won't have that til monday I'm anxiously sitting waiting to hear when I'm getting a courtesy car (320d) and when I get it I'm going to screw the nuts right out of it Edited by nero |

My back is still too sore to go out in the car. What a waste, especially now as it's raining again

Once a sport for men............now for boys. 900bhp+ what planet are you from....thats 6 maybe 7 or 8 times maybe more powerful than your E30. For boys is it? Well I suggest you get behind the wheel if you ever get the opportunity and realise how hard it is; with the G's pulling you whilst controling the car makes driving a normal sports car look like a supermarket trolley (except Asda as they have cool ones ) Edited by m3tiko |

Why would I've said otherwise chum....a good friend of mine worked on the designing team for BAR,headhunted straight out of uni in 2000
Through his contact within the setup I had the most amazing opportunity to sit in the front of a test car which had two seats. The driver was Zonta. Even at half planted the car was amazing.Though I must admit it wasn't round a full circuit but a huge square of tarmac that went on for miles. It was purely stop n go n stop. Can your Granny drive one? Edited by m3tiko |

Sporty Yar...
Anyone can fiddle about and make a car go fast...we're talking about std car here. Like Graham said " all of 2 bhp you don't need traction control". |

Sound like from your passenger ride with Zonta you could teach Mr Mansell a trick or two BTW think the question you were asked posed by thepits was, "You've driven a modern F1 car then eh? " not whether you'd been driven in one, ive been in a number of aeroplanes but wouldn't proport to claiming that I know what there like to fly.............. |
