Dean also did say also that he wished he had brought his semi-slick tyres also. So with the Achilles tyres fitted, suspension settings changed, it'll be a weapon on the pan.
Next Time Gadget, Next Time!!! Mwaaahahahahah! Once it was sideways it was pretty controllable but i need to work a lot harder on and off the throttle than the Holden as i don't have the weight to keep the motion going. But Agreed Ryan the tyres let me down. They are over 4 years old according to the year thingy on the sidewall maybe they've gone hard and has turned them useless.
