Hi Mike,

I was just reading this topic:

Ooops we've upset Scoobynet (gurnE)

https://passionford.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=72575

Saw the two clips of Stef (Cossie Killer)........wondering what happened to him? And what car is he driving nowadays?

Also on the in car vid: Just before that crest what did you say (just before the expletive)??????

I didn't say anything, but Stef said - "We have lift off!"

Afterwards I did say "Did you get that on film?", as at the time I had never seen / been in a car go airbourne at that point - but now it's the norm .

So who was it that said "Holy fuck" then? Or was it "Holy shit"?

Im 100% shure ive seen a video with Stef going over the crest with someone saying the above. Might still have it on my other computer.

Mike,
You should have gone down the Cranar Curves with him - I thought "..this is a bit quick to be going sideways.................."

KEEERRRRRUUUUNNNNNCCCCCH!

I do recall him saying something like, " ....I'll get it back " as we headed towards the wall

Mike1,

Tell me more please. I met Stef the once at a petrol station, had a chat about Cossie's..........seamed like a nice chap.

Is he as good as his lap times suggest? Or VERY brave with a feeling of almost total invincability?

I think the expression "Drive it like you stole it" was invented for him on the basis of my trip round Donnington with him. It was undoubtedly a very fast passenger lap but unfortunately my overriding memory is a concrete wall approaching very fast through the side window.

It was good fun on the tarmac bits though
