N what are you saying bout my driving Mr Reed??.....

Phill-type-R · 10 Nov 2006, 06:44 PM

I was more so thinking about mine!!

I've never gone that fast in the car period!! Too worried about the tyres not gripping or someone coming the other way!! Figured the track would help sort me out

Hence the AP's

easy bud........decent tyres and country lanes........good place to test driver n car.......

Phill-type-R · 11 Nov 2006, 07:39 PM

Not when I dont know what the car or tyres will do... They arent the best in the world as far as I can tell... Slippy all over the place!!

Phill-type-R · 12 Nov 2006, 10:05 AM

Poxy · 12 Nov 2006, 10:35 AM

Phill-type-R · 12 Nov 2006, 10:38 AM
