Al Yupright Posted September 20, 2005 Posted September 20, 2005 Dont be such a heartless harv.... Leon has bashed up his pride and joy... do you think he did that on purpose to spoil your day? Have you never spun your car? you made a right t!t of yourself arguing with the chap with the ADR too.... Quote
mrblondie Posted September 20, 2005 Posted September 20, 2005 hi ... sat on the fence for a while, watched, watched and rewatched the vid, also saw the whole thing in my mirrors and almost missed my braking for corner 1 cos of it, but i'm with harv on 100% this one especially in his list of comments on page 2 ( i bet atleast one person just feel off his chair with that comement... ) i would just add couple constructive comements, is if the car starts to go and if in any doubt, hit the middle peddle, no one should be that close they would hit you on a track day, lifting throttle ( which it sounded like) and being pasenger is the very worst thing you can do ... or if your feeling confident in your abilites, and you catch it much earlier... you grab a v large handfull of brave glads... take some agressive action and enjoy the drift .... if you ever get chance to drive with slicks you soon learn to let tyres throughly warm before you go for the right foot dont befrighten to spend a couple £20's for a lesson or 2, its best upgrade money you'll ever spend by miles and miles, as it happens i had one sunday hope we see you back out soon Quote
Leon B Posted September 20, 2005 Posted September 20, 2005 Ok, well either way its my fault, I'll be paying someone vast amounts of money to set the car up correctly before my next outing to the track. Quote
mrblondie Posted September 20, 2005 Posted September 20, 2005 sorry if my comments sounded like a poke in the eye, wasnt ment like that all ...look on the bright side you got off pretty lightly ( both you and your pride and joy) so shouldnt be too bad to sort, .... i know all about very recent v expensive rebuilds and i was complete innocent bistander to mine and still had to foot the bill, so can relate to exactley how your feeling ....

scott beeland Posted September 21, 2005 Posted September 21, 2005 so do i look quick enough to enter this speed series then ?............. Dont you just love track day heros? Ah but we'd probably learn lots from him eh? Quote
starter Posted September 21, 2005 Posted September 21, 2005 Harv, When are you at Spa? I'm testing a week on Friday, qualifying on the Saturday and then have 2 races on the Sunday so we might get chance to meet up Quote
mrblondie Posted September 22, 2005 Posted September 22, 2005 so do i look quick enough to enter this speed series then ?............. Dont you just love track day heros? Ah but we'd probably learn lots from him eh? show some respect guys ...we could all learn an awfull lot from harvey, "a legend in his own life time".... one of the nicest, most genuine people ive met on or off circuit, a great ambassidor for track days...and won't have a bad word said against him Quote

Guest Posted September 22, 2005 Posted September 22, 2005 He's nearly as funny as ME.............. i was harsh on leon but some of the things are very valid , and i have very broad shoulders , i wouldn't bother to start typing if i could not accept alot of stick back ,but i thing the "legend in his own lifetime" is only fair . OH.... and mr blondie , the S.P.A Gt mirrors with convex glass provide far better rearward vision Quote
