Default Look what I've been drifting today!

I finish my LGV course tomorrow(test is at 0900 in Reading) and today we've been trying to slide this old bad boy.The place is an old Runway just off the M25 near Chertsey.The best bit is I get paid to do this!

The runway is in 3x 1/2 mile sections, it's not the best tarmac ever and the local farmer rents it out for peanuts,you can drive straight on it,I got a bollocking as I put it on 3 wheels! the back is impossible to shift but the front moves alot and smokes the tyres loads! What a day, and my test tomorrow!

I'll find out the farm name, you can't see it from the road, there's allways Longcross MOD Chertsey but you need a sump guard and it's £140 an hour, contact ICM motorsport, Steve Coalville, for details, he's in Motorsport news.

Congratulations Andy...

Only 3 minors too... I got 5, but i've spoken to Drivers who got 14... !!!

I've got my Class 1 next month.. !!! I'm really excited but also brickin it a bit... !!

The places i've been expected to put the rigid over the last two weeks working for Somerfield are incredible... Fun, but in a 54 plate full-pack Merc (Someones £60,000) it also a bit tense... And by Xmas i'll be expected to drop a 44"er in the same places...

Good luck finding work... (if you haven't already)


Luv
Chrisie...

Also... Not that i'd want to drag you away from PF, but if you wanna get any useful 'Trucker' info try Truck net BB

That's where I hang out now... Not that I don't do PF anymore of course...


Luv
Chrisie...
