Tell me about we had a run over too the far side then back again, some very sketchy moments for the both of us

It's fucking horrible once your past the cat a fiddle because your on the other side with no barriers and a huggeee drop!

Defeating death FTW

Tom, I didn't have any sketchy moments on our run apart from the big fat understeer round an early bend. When Jenko was behind me we got to all the tight bends at the end of it but I didn't realise so had a few lock ups from the back which made it all a bit twitchy but nothing I couldn't handle

Was a good meet too, defeated by a burger tho

Oil light flashed on under heavy braking on the M6 too

Got home, checked it, dipstick was dry

Topped up now tho so I think we need a rematch now Tom

Aye, was a bit tighter than expected, had to go for the brakes to loosen the back end and get me round. If it went a fair bit then tho, I wanna know what it was like at Combe because that didn't need any correction but at Combe I had a bit of opposite lock on

That must've been a fair way sideways

Matt that is an amazing suggestion. Another boss drive. Have to try not to get caught out this time tho. That's a right sneaky bend that
