Maybe with you seemingly been a frustrated racing driver with a lack of talent you should take your antics to a proper race weekend? Sure this would be better than a track day with drivers of ever standard and cars of varying levels of performance on?
They do say ego has a lot to do with it. I'm sure you're very fast.

I asked Story to borrow his car but he was not so thoughtful...
I dont confuse what i am and what i would pretend to be. Dallas has already expired my talent counter and then some....

The stupid thing about your theory is that every idiot who is mincing around the track letting everyone past is immediately more talented just because they havent come off the circuit. Only a minority will drive close enough to their limits as to risk spinning or crashing. Il assume from your cocky attitude youve never had an incident on track, personally that would suggest to me you arent trying hard enough.

Nice one Jr 
Main thing is there is no harm done 
I've actually lost count of the amount of times i've been off on track and or hit something (not another car)!
Front end in first into tyres with the skyline
Fee - rear end through tyres and bent a barrier
Pug over some tyres (small)
rear of impreza...
smashed impreza headlight...
You have to find your limits to know them... and you did this on a track. Just have a laugh about it, fix it, and try harder!

I don't know my or my cars limits, I assume its not that far away from where I was on Saturday, but I don't really want to find the limits while its my road car and its worth so much to me.
Give me something worth a few hundred quid with a cage and harnesses in, and I will soon find them

cheers adam, someones opinion that is actully worth something on reflection it was indeed lucky, and as you say, these days are all about finding limits, your own and the cars
what i take exception to are people commenting on these accidents, never having seemingly been on a trackday
youve crashed, fee has, lee303 has, warren has, gaving destroyed a civic (sorry mate), all quick drivers in there own right, but knowone see's fit to jump on a bandwagon there

people are only jumping on the bandwagon because you are biting at the comments.
just laugh it off and think of it as an experience, knowing that you have gained knowledge on the car when it's at/beyond it's limit.

Hi Rick
i would listen to your opinion but:
1) you cant be trusted to bolt together any bits of your cars, let alone drive them
2) for you to actully turn up at some type of car related activity,, to use your performance car, other than a total vauxhall feature, would closely be followed by the world freezing over

not from people that drive up and down industrial estates

I think it's great you have a car you can drive on the limit and i'm sure it's far more rewarding. The crash really wasn't anything to do with your talent, just a slight lack of concentration that's all - Wish i had the freedom to push 100%, i'll just have to stick to 99.9%
