Need to rally this, its sitting there begging to be rallied, although i love using it everyday >_< also, towbars virtually falling out the bootfloor, it does get used to tow some pretty serious weight :lol: suppose ive got to sort that, lol.

next Chelmsford MC Gymkhana is 11th November at Woodbridge. There was one planned for 14th October at Debden but I think it's not going to happen. 12 car Winter Series start from September...

To the point i was sweating like a pig, and thankful for my harness. I know those lanes well, and its ones where oncoming cars and things can be seen from quite a distance.


I am tempted to do that rally, need a navigator first though.

Would 'she' not try and help?

I would offer to help, but I only race round circles do I'd be no use >_<

I've always wondered how I'd do as a co driver but as I've raced since I was 8 I tend to get a bit nervous if I'm not the one doing the driving haha

I took mine out this evening for a good thrashing, to the point where it actually started to overheat... but in a 998 you don't need the brakes so much lol

Out of interest, what lanes were they?

Theres a few twisty ones that go from the a28, through smarden, and through pluckley, ended up on the a20, close to charing roundabout, then up charing hill, through challock, a few dips where the suspension tries to bottom out, the down the a251, which is a great twisty descent, which takes you out to the towers, which is at the top of my estate, at which point i do drive it slow for about 15 minutes to allow things to cool down.
