Default have you even done something you regret

Just on my way home from work when all off a sudden a old mate of mine comes up behind me in his rs cab,to make it worse he has the ex missus in the car ,so I gave it some in front of him just to show him whos boss,we get to the last strech of dual carrageway and I go round the roundabout to give it some sideways.Then all of a sudden the car goes right round and im facing them.

Then in a bit of a huff decide ill spin it round and nail it off up the road,nope I only go and spin the fooker again smoke everywhere I floor it off only to nearly do it again then go up a kerb.No damage done apart from my pride ,god I felt like a right twat.

The lesson I lernt today is dont think you can master 400bhp in two weeks ,anyway now thats of my chest I feel much better,please someone say they've done something similar

Perhaps 4WD is more your thing mate for future, similar scenario's!

spun my old Escort XR3i in front full of a bus load of people, ended up facing them, shot round the roundabout (mini one) the wrong way and got going abit quick again!

Bet that makes you feel better!

Now what was it i said just before you pulled away?

I must change that: "Take it easy, especially in the wet" speach to something like:

"Take it easy, especially in the wet and even more easy if the Ex is about"







Glad your ok though, could easily have been worse.

stu,I know you said take it easy but you know how easy it is to get carried away,I got a bit too carried away,ive been driving it like a legend up until today ,its ok ive lernt my lesson,its like it changed into a different car for a second either that or I changed into a total looney for a second(the latter),it was rush hour too so had a great audience

lee,I acheived more smoke than my bong and the best sqiggerly black lines that will be there everytime I drive past to remind me of my mistake.

anyway just been out filming with it and its still running like a dream thanks to stu
