Think It would be a good idea. Talk about everyday duels
I know its kind of frowned upon here but its a topic much of us love to discuss!
i have 2 friends that have died from street races. i think one thing i really like about this forum is the whole lack of that type of post.
i cant stand people posting up... how would my car against this, and how about that.
i raced this today, i raced that and spanked it......
who cares... whoop de dooo, you manager to beat a 1.2 micra off the line, or an old man in a 20 liter merc. its pointless it risks lives on the road.
i do break to speed limit every once in a while (when it is safe to do so). im only 21 and people slate me all the time for not racing this or driving fast when i have friends in the car, but to be honest if i crashed and all my mates died and i didnt.... i dont think i could live with myself.
i already have been on several driver training days and spent a few thousand just to improve my driving capabilities, some of these are:
1 on 1 driver training in a 2 litre turbo astra for 2 whole days to teach me
how to drive properly including using the clutch and engine to break in emergency situations,
how to handle skids .. .and too much to mention.
i have done intensive / defensive driver training
and several days in cars on a track learning about
how to handle the car in dangerous situations.
sorry about the rant but we are not 8 anymore we dont need to 'prove' ourself better by racing some one (unless it is on a track, then its great fun and resonably cheep)
