Class One Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 Nasty stone chip! And those tyres... tut tut. Looks like you had a good day out. Hope you all gained some worthwhile skills. It's always good to know your limits and that of your car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz6002 Posted October 9, 2006 Author Share Posted October 9, 2006 What happened with the windscreen Hehe it was a bit of over enthusiastic drifting and my hand hitting the windscreen rather hard! Via the boost gauge. All good fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squiffy Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 those were my tyres! they are crap and had no grip to start with so thought it was the perfect day to kill them! there is a great vid of my losing it through the chicane:innocent: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

i-macca Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 Was a superb day out! Quite chuffed I came 4th, never done anything like that, and managed to beat two 'trackday warrior' Elises too Good to meet everybody and a big thanks to Chris for organising it all. Gaz, any chance of getting some high res versions of some of those pics please?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i-macca Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 Ryan, how on earth you got 3rd fastest I will never know, your car was all over the show. Good going mate!! Reckon it was because your tyres were nearly slicks once it dried out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz6002 Posted October 10, 2006 Author Share Posted October 10, 2006 nice pics gareth, did you get rid of your double six wheels ???, shame about the windscreen your car looks nice on new wheels too. Still got the blitz wheels mate, I'm going to be getting them refurbed over the winter and then I will have a trackday set as well. Car is now a LOT faster than the last time you drove it as well! The windscreen was so funny when it happened, and insurance will cover it so no worries. The instructors said they have never seen anyone do that before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz6002 Posted October 10, 2006 Author Share Posted October 10, 2006 How did you break the windscreen with your hand??? It came off the wheel, smacked into the boost gauge and broke the window. There was quite a lot of force involved! Gauge still works though:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
