Default OMG, WARNING TO ANYONE WITH A RWD CAR

dont ever ever ever overtake

omg, cant belive it, decided to overtake a car and catch the lights, cars responce is spot on

change to second gear, starts to come on boost and then when im expecting my fun rush, it happens the the fooker rev right up and snakes all over the place, really fooking bad aswell

guy who i was overtaking emergency stoped

to car went all over the road left, right ,left,right and then i ended up going through the amber light



now ive got quite big tyres, infact very very big tyres

think ill not drive it on days when theres been rain untill totally dry, cars never done it like this before , fooking hell did myh missus jump, and we missed the start of "im a celeb", i decided its not that much of a good show ya have to drive fast


they are leathal cars aint they, its the spike that does it im guessing

No you spacco, just dont let off SHARPLY Either not at all, or gently, sharply will make it snap back like a coont and youdve probably just hit the car you was going past, or that amber light

and my answer was im gonna come round your and ya gonna show me


grant this road ive done silly speeds down, even got my cabrio upto 60 on it ( yes its that long )

its totally flat, perfect road, no dips, not the normal shitty tarmac and its very very wide



i know it was the spike that done it, i was waiting for the nice zorst noise it now makes


it made it and turned

so im gonna have to now learn the spike is quite dangerous

was taking to rsgus on msn, hes got air injectors and a 35psi spike, thats no boost and then 35psi hooooooooooooge spike

i woudl have doughnutted it for about 5 mins doing that


im gonna sort that issue out tommorow though



im gonna unplug the amal valve

my car actually has very good traction


i got polybushes, 8ins wide wheels, quaife diff and 235 wide tyres



hence why i thought i would be ok, its not like i actually was giving it large,w as just doing what i normally do when i wanna get home



just fook me and then using my speed reading advice i remembered kept the foot where it was ,, tried to steer it till i got traction, never did so i backed of slowly and reapplied the power but not as much

that sorted it



missus was another storey, was trying to make out i was trying to scare her



she said i screamed first and thats why she never
