dam, my ke70 is gonna look sad as.

 

no engine, no exhaust and no mags. :yes:

 

We better be good at driving. lol

 

 

I think we should take a tally of how many cars each member has crashed, and then elect driving duties to the one with the least prangs...lol

 

are you just stripping the 70 back for parts?

I have yet to crash a single car. lol

 

The ke70 is gonna get Mitch's old stuff put into it, so taking it back to stock :yes:

 

 

looks like you're our man!!! I've crashed 5 cars, only one of which was a complete write off. All up, i've destroyed 5 rims, 2 diffs, various panels and lights, a sump, a complete 95' Corolla (nothing salvagable after i was done with it...) rear end of a VT commodore, and parked a corona stationwagon in a tree... Yeah, best if i don't drive...

 

Well, I guess all those crashes have learnt me what NOT to do in a car...

 

Oh!!! maybe we can do some driver training or something??? Know anyone with access to a wide open space with not much to hit?

Maybe we should get a book about driving techniques and racing lines.

 

Gran Turismo has taught me a lot, but I'm sure there is more to learn.

 

 

Also with the short diff ratio the corolla would be good for rally too. Did you want to be the Nav boy?

That's a good idea... I've learnt a whole stack about driving from my family, problem is, they race speedway, where it's about throwing a car sideways and hoping not to hit anything... hahahaha

 

Seriously though, i'm not so bad when i am trying, but more often than not i am trying to do the wrong thing. It comes from being raised with holdens and hemis... Powerslide is KING!

 

Nav boying i can do. Until i can demonstrate some skill. It's good to rotate i think, like you said before, share it around and keep everyone happy. For me though i'm not too fussed if i drive, because i'll always be worried about crashing and getting everyone annoyed with me.

I know of an unused airstrip it is gravel but really long and wide its where i learnt to drive and ive been there 3 times and there was no one else there it is on mooliabeenee Rd (between gingin and bindoon) which is about an hour and a half drive away. I might be going up there next month again if there arn't any motorkhanas on.

I drive like a psycho, the things I have learned are "engine revs are your Friends" and "never touch the clutch in a corner"

 

It has worked so far

 

Chris

 

See THAT's my sole reason for thinking i might prefer drifting... Corner + Clutch = Oh yeah...

 

Rally sounds fun though... Given my past experience with trees...

What levels are there that we can compete at? what level would we be aiming for?
