Just missed a tree!
Yes, it's finally happened.
It's a warm Brisbane afternoon, 29 degrees and fine. I'm cruisin around in the stook with the top down on my way home. As I turn into one of the street near my place I decide to keep it in 1st, race upto 9k and brake for the next 90 degree left hander. I enter the corner at about 45Km/h and then punch it early. Since I'm still in 1st and at around 7500rpm I knew she would hang her ass out, but not this MUCH!! Before I knew it I was facing the other way!!! Just missed the kerb (New 18" Work Wheels!!!) and a tree...
Moral of the story; Tyres mean everything.
Yes, she caught me a little by suprise, but my Falken GRB's suck. If I had my SO2's I know this would not have happened. So, I'm going to do donuts all day with my Falkens till they blow and then buy Bridgestone... :-)
