yea, thing is, 90% of people who drive make bad judgements from time to time.
when I spun it of a roundabout due to ice and terrible tracking setup, everyone here was very nice to me. Yet everybody outside this forum go
'yea right, you were gunning it'
There was no proving who has the bigger balls by trying to overtake each other all the time. If one of us doesnt know the road, they slow down.
We were almost in a pile up caused by a beemer overtaking coming towards us last week...does that mean everyones going to think normal car drivers are
all fannies? No, I really don't think so.

'bad for our image' thing then, all they got was sympathy from other members, whats that all about ??

You mean this one, wonder if the response would be different if had filmed it. Mmm
By the way lucky you wasnt there as you would have been following him and remember he did have his indicater on to warn other drivers! Bloody CEC they
think they own the road

i dont follow. why does that make this guy who didnt crash get more of a bollocking than the example given (who i do feel sorry for) whos overcooked
it into a bend so much he had to lock up and crash? he must have been going very fast, as its very hard to put an indy into a bend so fast it cant
cope. Im not saying hes a fool or anything, cause these things happen.
ps. the four by four was doing 40, so its not like there was speeding going on. He passed about 5 places where he could have pulled over to let us
past, which, youll all agree is just good manners and saves incidents like this happening.
ps. im not trying to blame anyone else, i know, greeny shouldnt have done it, but he knows that too. its a bit harsh for a whole lot of people to
start giving him grief aswell.

Some very interesting posts been put up over the past few days in respect of the video footage taken by Toniq-r.
To make things clear I was the driver of the green car and have found some of the comments pretty much on the ball in respect of what happened on the
day of run, some a bit further of the mark.
I will also be the first to put my hand up and say that it was me that screwed up the pass and got just as much as a fright as the guy in the silver
car coming the other way who if I ever have the opportunity to meet I will be the first to say my deepest apologies.
I would also like to make it clear that at first when I started the move that has caused all the hysteria I thought fully that I had enough time
before the corner to pull back in, that turned out not to be as much as I would have liked but certainly more than the footage portrays.
My miss calculation/judgement So the comments about being a idiot stick in my gut a little, yes it looked very close but I can assure anyone on this
site that it is never my intention to put anyones life at risk when out on a run be it by myself or as part of a group.
I am also sure I am not the only person in the community to make such a miss calculation, or am I surrounded by driving gods who don't ever make
errors? I do not think so judging by the amount of near miss and full on hit stories that come up now and again!!
Comparisons with other minority motoring groups are also far from relevant and rather narrow minded as not least forget we need to stand side by side
each other in times of need, I am sure that some time or another someone on this site may for example need the help of a weekend biker!! Please try to
remember weekends are sometimes the only time that some guys get the chance to get away from the stresses of life and our climate is not really suited
for year round pleasure on both two or four wheel sports vehicles!!
Anyone not happy with any of the above comments is free to contact me direct and I will be happy to discuss the matter further.
PS

Its a cross flow not a pinto!!!!!
