The fact you court confrontation, and make so many daft comments, does make it hard to gauge whether you just a wind up merchant or just an fool.
You're right we have not met.
However you have been given some very sensible advice, by more than 1 person, that would help you get more from your driving and car. And as you choose to thrash that, I can only assume that you are the latter.

Go chav boy, go.

Lol technical ability and spacial awareness at bus speeds is a world apart from the split second decisions you make at racing speed. The ability to move a coach on a sixpence is indeed an art though

£40 fitting and £120 tyres for a 3k 5mm tyre, you did miss out but... Don't blame you buying new but you should have bought better for the premium. Live and learn, get yourself on a car limits day and melt those bridgestones and get yourself some proper rubber

Sorry but we've spoken several times and i don't believe a word of it. You across the same in person.

I don't doubt for a minute that you will try and re-take the roundabout, but once you've got the brown out of your pants and gathered your confidence again. But i can't ever see you taking the advice of the driver training day.

One question, why use yourself as the butt of jokes and the subject of a ripping and loosing respect for the sake of getting a forum board going that hadn't stopped in the first place. Perhaps you just spun out

As i said, i spun out, correct!

Look at the first post, and the forum has not had a post this busy in months!

I dont mind having a bit of fun in here, you lot all take the pi$$ whenever i come on anyway cos of my job, so i dont think that getting a ribbing and losing any "respect" (that i never had in here anyway) bothers me in the slightest.

Ever since I did my first day with Andy Walsh i have constantly encouraged others to do so, the benefits are huge, not just in lap times, but in accident avoidance and ability to enjoy fast cars.
Also I guarantee that your car is capable of that roundabout at 60!
line, entry, steering, maybe braking, throttle control, experience.

Pezza, you have the advantage on me there, I will always speak to people if they speak to me, but if I don't know or recognise you then, just say hello.

Yup and we all can see why

It doesn't matter if a thread has got 7 pages. Have a look at the volume of new threads, the revival of old threads etc. Then you'll see that there's plenty going on.

People don't take the pi$$ out of you for your job from what i can see. I'll let you work out what it really is

May well do if i see you again.......

I like to think i am a good driver, but as we ALL know, a driving test only allows you to drive, the rest of our lives we LEARN to drive!

Cranes farm road is the only one I can think of with sufficient grassy runoff, but have never been over them, so not sure about the kirbs.

The problem was you instinctively aimed for the exit bus lane not the apex of the corner

Maybe i need to be shown HOW to take the roundabout in question.

I am sure it has either NO kerb or a very low one, as i did not feel it bumping up one, just got loads of grass there.

That took all night to put the link up for the roundabout? lol


As you can see, if comming from basildon and heading towards burnt mills, the exit has got grass, no kerbs and nothing else in its way.

Is your driving really that scary, or did you have a car full of girls or poofs?
