yeah just me, gav and mitch havin a little fun up through a private test track the other week, i was infront and came into a corner which went from sharp to needle and from two lanes to single, I had too much speed and so understeered out of the corner... which would not have been so bad if gav wasn't washing off a bit of speed using lift off oversteer. End result was me and Gav at 45 degree angles to each other both touching cloth.
So I nominate Gav to go first this time.

girlfriend for now i haven't entered the cave of doom yet! Zapps & Bourbs always bring there missus' to cruises aswell
She's into cars as much as me, but her interests are purely cosmetic where mine go towards performance. LOL thats why I have the "stock" car and she has the car you cant insure And yet I hardly get to drive my own car, go figure... Thats right bourbs, I said it, my car is stock looking

never mind your wacker-mans angle ... you just keep your eyes peeled for a) the person in front of you, and b) 1 way bridges.

I wouldn't be surprised, it looked like it was going over leaving the yatala servo on the last cruise! Thats why i backed, i was waiting for you to slow down or fall over

Seriously, I vaguely know what Ackermann's steering geometry is all about, but I got no idea, n'or can I find anything about Ackermann's angle.
