LIES LIES LIES LIES LIES. I'm the drift king, you just went home before i got the hang of the terminal understeer. Robins car had bald front tyres, and it took me a while to sort it out. I raced back into the pits late on but you had already left.

I didnt see simon getting full lock drifts at the hairpin????

No, but MacK did.

You can't just get ONE drift and pronounce yourself king.

Part timer

I'm the drifting king - just ask the folk behind me at Bowtrees roundabout!!!!!

After moaning about the back end not moving and getting understeer the bloody thing steps out at me when I least expected it.

Still, 3 rotations of the roundabout sideways comfirms that I am the master.

I did, in my rear view mirror. Decided that it would be best if I came into the pits as I was sure the red flags would be out to recover him from the infield.

Turns out he held it

i challenged him to a drift-off through duffus or clarks and he bottled it. he aint no drift king.

I'm glad to see my car had some use then (as a drifting championship chariot) despite it's bald tyres (they're not bald, they're legal, and I did tell you, and there was a set of new Advans we could have put on ...).

With the advans in the wet you need to work them hard to get them hot enough; but while they are cold they don't offer much grip - trouble is that when the tyres don't have much tread left it is harder to get them warm in the first place - requires subtlety and finesse

i didnt see anyone else using subtlety and finesse to go through duffus or clarks sideways. the wimps kept doing it at 25mph thru the hairpin.

I know you said you had 2 dodgy tyres, but i thought you said rear, and i checked them and they were fine. obviously i was looking at the wrong ones.

i'm not complaining, your car was much appreciated. It was actually very quick thru the hairpin as everyone else was sideways and i was getting understeer.

all this chat of sideways action reminds me I've got a Walshy day next Friday

are you hiring one of his cars????

no idea...waiting in the vague hope that my car might not be at mmc for another 8 days on top of the current 8 so far....

My mate has a vx220 turbo so i may slum it in that

he has an S1 shed or an S2 with nitrons for hire normally. Let me know if you need it and i'll see if he can sort you out. On the other hand, you can thrash mine for the day if its sorted by then.

are you likely to be there>?
