How good is my wife.

Well done Heath (and your wonderful wife for entering)..
Who really cares what car you get to do it in (omg, did I seriously just say that  e ).... It's the experience and fun that counts...I am sure you will have lots of fun....

How cool Heath. Anne is a treasure. You get so much out of a driver training day doesn't matter what car. Take heaps of photos and get them photoshopped (is that what it is called?) and no-one will know.

As much as I love my XR I've owned plenty of Holdens as well. Dare I say it they are much the same these days both go faster than I can drive them and handle better than I can keep them on the track. I cant wait, I'm sure it will be a blast. No need for photoshop, I'm not ashamed to be seen flogging a Holden. :hihi:

Well the big day has past. How much fun is that.
I will have to take back my last comment on the commodore going better than I can handle. What a slug. Yes it was a 6 not an 8. Give it a boot full and two minutes later still waiting for some serious pickup. Thank god for the mighty turbo. Oh well, still taught me a thing or two. Things you would never even think about like steering and keeping your arms away from centre near air bag. How many of us cross one hand over the other when turning a corner. The instructor said an air bag goes off at about 200km/h at least you will know what time you had the accident when they dig your watch out of your forehead. ABS does'nt do much at a 100km lock up. Learnt heaps about braking and cornering at high speeds. Can't wait till the next track day. will eventually do their 2 day course to learn a litter more. Shame you can't do it in your own car. Yeah, Yeah I thanked Anne, what a legend. |
