Eamonn

You are starting to make a fool out of yourself.

If you checked facts you would know I drove at the last track day in my own car (formerly Killian's) and at a track day before a number of drivers were grateful for my showing them what could be achieved in their cars

And yes I am more used to a Fiat Ritmo.

What competitive motorsport do you do Eamonn?

If anyone wants pointers on the day I can sit in with them if they are not in my group.

Another tip

Keep your hands at 10 to 2 and keep the wheel gripped as you go through bends,try to avoid feeding the wheel through your hands. I know this is against road driving techniques, but it means that you know the position of the wheels without having to look at the steering wheel, it also means you have a positvive grip at all times. There is no bend on the International track tight enough to need the feed through technique.

If anyone has questions on Mondello lines etc. just ask I have raced at Mondello and did a spell as an instructor in the driving school

I have in no way made a fool of myself. In fact it is you who have made a fool of themselves.
I am not going to engage in any more "who has the biggest &*%$" competition either and I refuse to let myself be pulled down to your level.

conversation over. period.

As for Topazmans friend that's another matter

As she so eloquently expressed

"Love"

If you refuse to be pulled down why did you reply? You have continued this thread as much as I have.

"I am not going to engage in any more." should really be "I am not going to engage in this any more"

"who has the biggest &*%$" competition" competition what? Are you having a problem with your keyboard or something else.

Especially " &*%$ " Does this actually mean something is it just the rantings of someone with some form of speech problem 

What does "it is you who have made a fool of themselves" mean? Is it some form of local English dialect, or do you think I am more than one person?

Sadly Eamonn  I carry on threads like this to amuse myself and take great pleasure when someone takes the bait.

Looking forward to your next non coherent reply. Oops! Sorry you said the conversation is over, so you will not be replying.

Thanks again for the entertainment Eamonn.

[QUOTE=Fey!]

Sorry, Sean - as it says, not an official list (I could only go on what I saw on this thread, and only made the list so that people could see what kind of cars will be there).  Is yours the shark nose that was there in March? Nice!

 

OK, I see how it works now.

Yes, that's my red sharknose,  it's been tidied up a bit since Tullamore,  and Tom Tallon in Tullow did a great job on my BBS basket weaves.
