    My First Spinout!

    One day I'll post up some pics when I snap some decent ones. Hopefully this holidays so I can get it a bit cleaner. Yeah, wasn't too bad huh? I think I did okay on everything 'cept 3.3 straightforward probablity. Funny how the ones with 'straighforward' or 'basic' are always the hardest.

    Haha yeah, its the first time I have actually thought I could've done some damage to the car, another car, myself and/or someone else.

    My First Spinout!

    Heres my yarn for the day... On my way back from Stats exam, decide to take a detour to Pine Harbour (for those who know it) to sort a couple things out. Finish at Pine Harbour, last LH blind corner coming up to the main road, quite sharp, but can be taken safely at 80km/h IN THE DRY. So come up to this corner, really hungry, 3 minutes from home, going about 80km/h, ITS WET. I then forget that it gets minimal to no sun- so its mossy from last winter, loose the back end and get into a 'drift' situation in which I have no experience, therefore I cannot hold the 'drift'. Still going 75ish (didn't/couldn't look) as I know in order to hold a 'drift' you need a skillful touch of acceleration and good countersteering skills- I only only had the former. Since I suck, the back end contunues to come around to my right, I see the big drop to my left- where I am heading... SIDEWAYS!!! I proceed to slide down the big gravel drop on two outside wheels (inside had left ground I believe). And thank the lord I come to a big, mud spashing stop without rolling my baby. Needless to say, it was a very bottom clenching, (almost) change your undies moment. God I wish someone got it on video. And before someone says I am a 'boyracer' ( ) or a twat- I DID NOT see the moss had crept further onto the road, and not 3 weeks ago, I drove that road for 2 years, 6 times a week as it is on the way to the gym. And when finances allow (in a looong time) I will get really good tyres, springs and shocks, once again, there is nothing wrong with my current ones, only problem was they were designed 20 years ago. 'Till then I will drive slower. Take care and drive safe everybody.
  4. True true, don't hear about the 50 year old man running someone over, but as soon as a "boy racer" or someone who drives a car and is also <21 hits someone, there is a media frenzy.
  5. I think everyone here's broken the law at least a few times. I certainly have, and I'm not condoning it, but what can anyone do about it.
  6. Welcome aboard mate! I love the tan leather with the black.
  7. I'd be pissed if someone jumped in my car when I wasn't there and started doing burnouts in it. Appeal, you never did it or gave anyone permission to. Get him to pay for all your costs and wear on a cold engine, on tyres, petrol etc.
  8. Welcome aboard. Nice M3 mate!

    IIRC from ages ago, it is/was a ABT tuned RS6 and the guy was going too fast, wheels got light and you know the rest. Carbon copy with this A3(?)...

    Price of oil

    Its a significant drop from when in July it was $147 a barrel and its the lowest it has been since mid-2005. The significant drop will probably be due to world demand falling- I read that OPEC are looking to reduce output by 1.5m barrels per day. I'm not complaining, I don't have to pay for food, power etc. only petrol and my demand for it will not be decreasing!
  13. Haha my step brother was also. He's got some pics somewhere.
  14. Holy Crap! Those are some savage fish!

    Why would you cover her face with a magazine? Silly man.
  17. Wolf in sheeps clothing! Not that they were ever a sheep with their 141kW/189hp RR 6.8l V8 Shame about the TV's though.
  18. Give the forum sponsors Ray (HellBM) and Gavin (Euro-Italian) a ring, they may have a windscreen. $500-600 seems pretty steep. Check that your windscreen isn't covered in your insurance. I can get a new windscreen without paying any excess. I wouldn't bother with a/c belt unless you're going to use it with summer coming, again you could probably do this yourself easily by undoing a bolt and releasing belt, then replacement is the opposite. Airfilter would be pretty simple to replace yourself, again a forum sponsor may sort one out for you.Look here under Maintenance Handbrake should just need tightening, I don't know how e36's work but it may be just tightening nuts under h/brake lever, or it might just need new brake pads.
  19. Welcome Danny, Nice e30, I like the rims dude.
