Hi,

Glad you had fun

Wet polished concrete is certainly a handful

Lots of opposite lock, wheel grabbing and general mayhem

You should try the Goulburn Police Driver Training Centre skidpan

The evil instructors there came up with the idea of adding buckets of lanolin to the wet polished skidpan, at random points around the course

Cheers

Man, you'd slide off into oblivion.....just like in real life on the bathroom floor.....

Mark

Any pics yet? I noticed three MINIs (black, dark silver and red), who was the dark silver?

Chris

KGB · Jul 21st, 2005, 12:34 AM

Chris,

No. Had a great day and was lucky enough to sample a couple of other cars....

Adam from Abottsford, advertising guy.

See you there next time Chris....more Sandown dates for later this year, when you get back from your trip.

Mark

Todd! · Jul 21st, 2005, 01:30 AM

I forgot all about it

I hope you had a ripper of a day - cant wait to see the pics...

How was the sway bar? Did you feel there was a dramatic improvement?

KGB · Jul 21st, 2005, 08:46 AM

lift-off oversteer inducer.....until one grows accustomed to it. Then all good.

Whats in that pipe Sir?

Sounds good!

robbo mcs · Jul 21st, 2005, 10:06 AM

Hi,

I heard a rumour that a very rare beast made its appearance at the Melbourne BDD

I hope the owner was giving it a good fang

Cheers

Robbo

Todd! · Jul 21st, 2005, 11:50 AM

I'm pretty sure I saw that a few weekends ago in the street... rare now, give it six months and they will be everywhere and Wes will have to sell his 360 spyder & buy a Gallardo cause Ferrari's will be too common.

KGB · Jul 28th, 2005, 02:46 AM

This weekend, 5+ Mini's entered.

Todd! · Jul 28th, 2005, 03:09 AM

You going!?! Noice helmut! Whats with Firestone? Who do you think you are Andretti??

I thought it would say "EUROFAB"

Who else is in?

Todd! · Jul 28th, 2005, 03:10 AM

Oh yeah, did you see that Octagon pulled the pin on its involvement in the GP Rally for next year?

KGB · Jul 28th, 2005, 04:04 AM

Actually the helmet was conceived along the lines of 60's and 70's Le Mans 'design briefs'
Steve McQueen baby....

Todd! · Jul 28th, 2005, 07:44 AM

I gathered that... Dad has been flapping on about doing the same to a helmet to match his cobra - but no his helmet is still snow white!

I picked up on the Steve McQueen vibe.
