I heard that schumacher drives with one hand - infact he was going to replace the steering wheel with a joystick just to prove how much better he was than everyone else...

lol

two hands - better than one - only time its not true is changing gear or reaching for the handbrake.... or the door handle to jump out before a hurrendous accident lol

Awesome!! from what you can see of your face in the rear view mirror Paul you looked quite cool and calm for going sidways at 100 even with ya shades on!! loved the cheeky look over to the passenger when you came to a halt...its the "of course it was all under control" look, i know it as i have used it many a time

I spun my 3dr at Combe with Ryan next to me - and we were approaching 135mph coming up to Avon Rise and then lost it but managed to brush off a fair bit of speed before kissing the tyre wall

Proper arse clenching moment that and well done for recovering and hot hitting anything else
