I really should look at getting a muffler for that thing XD Steve's camera picked it up on the video from *inside* the Cayman even while he was accelerating hard :P

As a very wise someone said to me yesterday (who now happens to have a busted turbo) "it's what happens when you own modified cars".

These cars are never finished, breaking them just gives us an excuse to fix them :D
I do say some strange things some times :D

I'll be sticking to the race car when it comes to track time from now on :th:

That's made me feel a bit better. I still haven't found it, would have been really annoyed if you hadn't needed it. Just watched the video on YouTube. Made we want to get on track even more. I'd deffo take the instructor option if it's only 35 quid. Glad your little oops was just a tcut repair Pete.

No, she wanted to check if you were too OLD. :laughing

Also that, as you hadn't done one before, you were safe to be let loose on your own without an instructor. Based on the HD, I told her you would be fine. Then you go and repay my faith by attacking the furniture!

Sheesh... :rolleyes:
If you're not living life on the edge, you're taking up too much room!
