Go careful guys
Turbo Mini Forums

hello all

just on a serious note ive been reading a few other forums tonight and i came across a few threads where people have died in their cars, one particularly upsetting one was from a guy who's girlfriend was killed

although i will inevitably get in my car this weekend and drive like a twat at some piont it has made me think, hopefully my little word of caution will make us all think

i dont want to read about any of us - EVER

stay lucky

Yeah, I agree. :)
Keep it shiny side up :)

and watch out for people on motorbikes

hear hear!!

I know we all drive too fast on the road from time to time, but a bit of common sense go's a long way to survival, most of my mates consider me a bit of a lunatic (and to be fair I did used to be), due to some of the speeds i've done on the road, but in my defence I never drive fast in dodgy conditions or when its busy, overtake more than 1 car or unless I can see for ages, orgenerally push the limit....

Team Racing

Its fair to say that no one builds/owns a fast road car to drive it slowly on the roads. If that was the case no one would bother owning them.

Theres nothing wrong with driving fast if you want, as long as you don't drive beyond your limits and most importantly, you don't endanger anyone else but yourself.

1/4mile in 13.2sec @ 111 terminal on 15psi

Driving fast and Driving hard are two different things.

A friend of mine is currently behind bars due to him being the driver in a roll which killed his best friend. What started off as a bit of a blast in the middle of the night on the way home turned out wrong.

The older brother of a friend also died in a car crash a few years ago, he also rolled after clipping a kerb on a bend he took too fast. His passenger survived (his girlfriend).

The common factors in both these accidents where the unfortunate person was not wearing a seat belt and got flung from the car!

I like driving my fast-sh car and having fun, but I also want to
A ) Keep my license
B ) Keep my life
C ) Not be responsible for injuring anybody else

yeah good post. all take it easy now n save it for the track.

on another note and dont mean to thread jack but am i right in assuming that super adam is only 13 yrs old? if this is true i think people should take it easy on him and encourage him in the right direction. not call him IMHO

no longer a series, but still 1.3 turbo.

well said a friend of mine died last year after rolling the car 4 times b4 hitting a lamp post after clipping the kirb on duel carrigeway. took the metal lampost in half and ended up in a tree.
his gf got out with minors cuts n he died bout 10mins later.

speed is the best rush i have ever had!!!

its an awful thing that even if you are driving steadily and alert you may just be at the wrong place at the wrong time

im just hoping that i never have to experience anything like this

the thought that gets me is the people that are left behind

Hey I was trying to cheer people up!
I know the horrors of this cause my dad was in a crash once
I'm only 13 I havent developed a brain yet!

good idea 1071, ive been wondering about how difficult it is to organise a trackday, i presume someone would have to pay the intial cost, so having to rely on others to book could be a bit concerning!!

Edited by Nic on 26th Aug, 2005.

well nic, you could suggest the idea contact a track, n get every1 to pay b4 u book anything so u know that your not going to end up out of pocket
