That's one serious error of judgement, must have thought he was in an F1 car.

You're using that tag very loosely when you apply it to that c0ck.

No way - we're off........ says it all really!!!

Can't belive how that 355 lost it - seemed to be going quite slow when the slide started!

Saying that, it's a dam slippy place in the wet mg:

Could have ended in a tragedy just for trying to show off
Specially since the idiots weren't wearing helmets And how much loose crap was in that car...

absolutely..

in some places in the wet.. you would get more grip off a sheet of ice..

it's a strange and uncomfortable sensation when the car starts to slide sideways under braking on some of the descents.

in the dry.. you are hammering through that section in 3rd 4th gear..

slowly but surely..

I rebuilt the rear suspension so it was basically a rolling chassis for the bodyshop to work on..

maybe I will get it back by the end of december / early January.. it really depends on how much work we decide to do on the paint job..
