August Cruise - Somerset Dam - Page 4

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.

I even gave you a headstart so you could have your moments without any undue pressure from me.

Hairdresser into hairpin corner = scary!

Hairdresser? Shutup ... Breadvan into any corner = extra scary

chicaboo · 07-07-2008, 10:25 PM

The breadvan likes the north private test track.

marcs_sp20 · 07-07-2008, 10:42 PM

No. No girls. Girls are Yucky. Girls have Cooties..

Im sure it will be fine, everyone else manages too.

Marc always brings his WIFE.

^Yes his WIFE everyone!..I'm such a dork

marcs_sp20 · 09-07-2008, 06:54 AM

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

Tarmac Ninja · 09-07-2008, 05:17 PM

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

zappy65 · 10-07-2008, 05:55 PM

Have i dont that before?????????/.....oh god....

No such luck im afraid with the map, pc here at home blew up last week, and i dont get enough time to look on my lunch break at work, but rest assured im trying my best

chicaboo · 10-07-2008, 08:54 PM

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.
