Good laugh today, experienced just about all ways of being out of control :lol:
Nice to see a few of the others, cheers for the passenger laps Ben.

Did Chris 'persuade' you then? :lol:Suz wrote:
Bug has bitten :-D :-D now looking into new brakes, hoses etc to try to rid the vibration on braking, still wary but over time I'm sure that will improve, want to try to sort some instruction too as I think that will help.

I wish I could've been there- I would rather have pushed my car round than spend all day packing stuff so we're ready to move. :boring:

Was good fun just want to get a bit more confident in how to drive it. LOL
You looked like you were having a ball today Rob, much happier to put the boot in out of Russells 
Seat time is the biggest thing (in my opinion) to get us around the track faster and yet many of us spend a disproportionate amount on mods that give performance that we aren't good enough or confident enough to use fully. How daft is that? Good to see you keeping it real mate

I had a great session in the Metro even though i did end up facing the wrong way on the grass at one point lol.
I thought i would admit to this before Suz put up the photo :oops:
I would have done another session, but i had to be somewhere else for the afternoon.
I was well impressed with the Metro. I had reservations as to whether it would have the legs on the straights, but as it happened the power and gearing were fine. I was just short of the limiter in 4th on Revett and nicely on power/torque at the end of Senna. It was slippery so with faster corner exit speeds, this may be a different story although a set of 185/60 888's are on the cards which will change the gearing slightly. Then i will need more power. Here we go, another project :roll:
I hope they do another arrive and drive soon.
