bugger, i've been rumbled.

dan, again no point with AFR for me, cossy paranioa at its best i think.

Dont need any gauges on a well setup engine IMO.

90% with gauges, by the time you've noticed them there damage is already done, and besides you should be dirving the car not looking at the gauges, if you have time to look at gauges your dirving like a fairy.

i'm GUESSING they're not the 9:20s tho (sorry rich)

Fucking well done once again, I know I said it before, but I really am amazed at how quick that is so I thought it was worth another mention!

That time is offensive, its the sort of time the Ring Taxis are going round in and that is saying something.

Embarssed about what?
Crashing on a track?

Surely pretty much everyone properly into cars has done similar at some point, so I dont see why they would be, I certainly wasnt embarassed when I binned my beamer there! Thats what happens occasionally if you drive hard on tracks.

Cover for what?
First serious off ive had in over 10 years of trackdays, but im sure it wont be the last, thats the risk you take, anyone who thinks they arent taking a risk of crashing is naive IMHO

but that was just off my speedo so is probably a fair way out at that point.

very well done though you will have to show me how it's done next time.

I reposted your big thank-you and write up post with the one line deleted and it still got binned/deleted by a mod

It had no reference to any incident after I edited and re posted it -so it was just your thanks and appreciation of the weekend...

So I think your name calling is justified

I still have it if you want to read what you wrote whilst drunk

Tony,

Thanks for posting it back up minus the offending sentence. I know what i wrote as i wasnt drunk. I said what nob of a mod deleted a whole post rather than editing the one line that wasnt allowed to be there. and that there is an edit button that the mods can use. Pm'd Jay asking if it was him and that he should re-instate it. Nearly got banned from here for saying a mod was a nob. Jay isnt a nob, just a cunt (he knows im joking)
