Good effort.

Remember if your not crashing, your not trying hard enough!

I always remember reading about Nigel Mansell and the writer wrote;
Nigel Mansell is an accident looking for a suitable corner to crash on!

Maybe i should add that the car is 1300cc unmodified so about 70bhp not what you would call an animal... So driving the nuts off it is always needed....

Edit: Didn't Know the music at the middle is missing tell now

Nice m8 But i would whoop your arse at trackmania lol. Just a quick question why do you have someone telling you where to go ? Do you drive with blindfold on like playing blind mans bluff ?

Every corner and hill is told to me so you can drive flat out, as you know whats coming...

the camera don't do it justice at all its whole different story when yer in the seat average speed over 13km is about 115kmp -120kph on roads just wider than the wing mirrors and as slippy as glass..

Who calls the corners and such for you mate?

His better half.

Hey fester, I guess with 70bhp the handbrake is not feasible?

I actually found things without so much power to be a lot of fun. I used to own a modified Civic Type R with about 220-230bhp and well it was in for a service they leant me a Saxo VTR which is about 100bhp I think.

The Saxo made me smile and laugh at the go-kart handling and also it was fun just trying to drive the car so you didn't loose momentum by using all of the road and trying not to brake too much.

I enjoyed the Civic but the Saxo was a hoot to drive on the limit which was considerably lower than the Civics limit. This was a lot of fun and where as with the Civic when you were on the limit you were travelling very rapidly and on most public roads this isn't safe, the Saxo could reach it's limit much earlier which meant you could do it much more.

Less is more sometimes.
