Good stuff, the vid looks like you've got some pretty good car control there.

So whats the car spec then? Standard 1.4/1.7 or 16v, standard diff or welded?

[340ovlov]

1.4 welded diff stripped out with buckets and harness's
as for control i would of thought so with my past life (look up newbie post)

[magnumpi]

Good stuff then for the stock 1.4.

So whats the deal then, i just found your newbie thread, doesn't say anything about your pastlife lol, jjust about the new car?

[340ovlov]

i'm sure it was in there well its some where in one of my threads well any how basically i was a bad boy and have had more holidays at Her Majerstys Pleasure than most others have abroad and it was all for driving like a loon with no licence etc untill my new partner showed me there was a llight at the end of the tunnel 3 years ago nearly and got me to do it the right way and i got my licence back last year and passed first time which was quite funny when i booked in at oulton park and the marshalls looked at my licence and it was a pass date from october 08 they were looking at me and thing this guy must be having a laugh they offered me to come out in my car and teach me to drift my reply was as simple as "no thanks i'll teach u "

Good sidewayzing dude.
Track seems to fit you pretty well man.
Good to see someone setting the standard, and doing it right.
More vids'd be supercool.

[magnumpi]

Fair play on you then for getting legal and doing it in the right place, but we're all guilty of having a sideways moment or two on a round about aren't we, or is that just me lol

my way its a

"sorry officer i saw the round about and half way round i realised i'd forgotton my shopping"

or " i do apologise officer, i left my poor cattle out in this horrible rain and was taking this old tank like tractor back to the farm as quick as i can"

Good stuff! I fancy a trip over to Oulton now. At 180 miles or so, it's one of the closest tracks to me.

john its a good track there is anouther one next to it which the bdc were using for taxi rides but if u go on a full drift day for £125 u get to use both tracks all day and they wet it to reduce tyre noise and save on tyre where but its like ice when dry anyway there as its the old rally circuit without the gravel
