Why would i want to spend MORE money on MORE tyres, and a tank full of juice, just to let someone say "your doin that all wrong"

I can do better in an empty car park............

If you can't see a benefit from a day with an instructor then even I give up on you fella

Andy Walsh will give you training to enable you to take a corner that most people will panic over taking at 50mph and get you taking it at 90mph

Because it would seem that you are.

To lose the back end, I'm presuming you arrived at speed and the sudden change in direction from left to right unbalanced the car. Where as if you'd entered the roundabout slower and then built up the throttle you would induce understeer that can then be balanced by lifting and thus getting oversteer. You can then drift around at about 70-80 no probs. (erm, so I've been told)

pezzza

all the same, burning MM's of tyres that i have only had on the car DAYS seems pointless getting them!

I dont mind paying out for fuel, but tyres at £114 EACH seems silly to waste them.

pezzza

Was not going all the way round it, entered on racing line to go straight ahead on exit.

Yes i did enter too fast, lost it on the exit and done a 180 into some grass.

yellowvanman

Without question he would highlight what is wrong, and by the sound of it quiet a lot, but he would also instruct you in such a way as to raise your game to levels you currently do not comprehend .

Of course you could just chav around in a carpark, pretending to be able to drive.

pezzza

LOL....chav it around like the boys at mcdonalds every evening, or the ones that go to "the strip" down cranes farm road?

I see NO POINT in playing like that, one mistake (like i saw at mcdonalds last year) and it could be VERY expensive!

so WHY are you off out playing on roundabouts?

pezzza

Was just a bit of fun last night, will not do it for hours on end as i actually DO respect my tyres, and also my car!

The car is only as fast as the driver behind the wheel, i STILL have not had my
scoob flat out yet, need to find a road that is good enough to do it.

pezzza

So how many of you lot go to the strip down cranes then?

My work collegue recorded some cars there a few weekends ago, and i did notice some of you in the footage..................

its gone 10pm !!! anyone checked the salvage yard sites yet???

yellowvanman

racing line , doubt you would recognise it if it was painted on the road,
Lets guess, hmm, enter too fast, lifted off in a panic, surprise! the back came round.

And to some extent you are correct, the ultimate speed of a car is Dependant upon the skill of the driver, but as you have Not had it flat out, and still can't get it round a round about, I guess your car is not that quick.
Yep you definitely don't need any further training, you clearly are an expert something.

WRX_Dazza

oh stop !! my tummy hurts from laughing now !!

After you with the tissues Dazza my eyes are brimming & can't focus on the monitor.

pezzza

The only way daz can go fast is if he see's a spider on the floor! lol

Yellow, you are most probably the best driver in the whole world, no, you ARE the best driver in the UNIVERSE, but you still talk crap m8!

More of a chicane then

Tantamount to a Scandinavian flick in all but the smoothest of hands at that speed Do your new tyres now have flat spots ?

pezzza

nope, not yet anyway!

Will have to try again tonight on way home, let you all know how i got on tomorrow.......

pezzza

Yes i could have had 4 for that price, but they were not new, and i would have had to pay to have them fitted too.

Needed some new ones, got them now and will not be changing them again this year, unless they are shot from germany...........

Please don't try and take it flat out. dispite the ribbing we all give you it wouldn't be nice to see what could happen when you try.

pezzza

Will only go as far as i feel confident doing, nothing more.

Most of you would probably laugh at seeing my car written off, but im not ready to do that YET!

yellowvanman

No mate, after years of competitive driving I did used to think I was very good, (trophies to prove it) but then I took some expert training and realised just how much more is possible and how much more I had to learn.
And yes I then improved considerably, but even so I am very aware of my abilities behind the wheel.
Definitely not the best in the world, but I would wager significantly better than many.

There's only one person talking crap here fella and it's not YVM!

He used to race karts and cars. I have been out in a car with him and others. I will not even get near a car with you let alone in it.

pezzza

lol, i would wager tha same for my driving (in my proffessional state anyway) not many people can get behind the wheel of summit that is 48 foot long, front wheels are 6 foot BEHIND driver!

pezzza

........waiting for the BUS jibes to come back at me......................

pezzza

I was refering to this comment, he doesnt know me and possibly hasnt even seen my car.......
