Quote: a good weekend is assured as long as no wankers............ damn !!! that counts me out hahah !!! na j/k Dude there is no fear of legal action in the case of something going wrong if you are the organiser. The only way something can be put back on you, so i've heard, is that if we are a 'club'. We aren't a club at all so there should be no worries about insurance issues and the likes. Someone suggested to me the same sort of worries in regard to EC cruises, but then i found out that as long as we arent a 'club' its all good Cheers Ollie

I'd be hell keen for a drift day out at Mt Cotton, i'd love to throw the VS round with the IRS ass and see how well she can drift, i know it kicks out kinda easy so who knows. Camping may be good but i dunno if i'd go to that.

Well after seeing you nearly mount the gutter with the front wheels locked up on Saturday, i'd be pretty keen to see you even get the ass end out on the skidpan. That was some funny **** Rob "whoops" hahahahahahaaah !!!!! Yeah camping/fishing sounds good... Ollie

yeah yeah i knew that'd come back to get me.... that was really stupid of me and i have no idea how it happened. On a good day i can get the right rear to pour off smoke round corners and ****, i really have no explanation as to that little lock up and slide. Its good for donuts thats for sure. A fishing trip would be good though.

It's called (pre corner acceleration leading to mass understeer) and then you decided to lock the wheels and slide toward the gutter, even tho we all know you cant steer a car properly with the front wheels locked. Hahahaha.. i suppose that was a better idea than keeping ur foot in it and driving up over the gutter. still was funny to watch dude. hahah !! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
