bing Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 Loving riding at the moment. I want to ride everyday. I wish i could ride everyday. Even though I have to be careful with doing drops and gaps and stuff, and I can't go very high or long, its getting me proper good at the hoppy technical stuff and general control. Knowing I can't have a big bale on fear of further injury is teaching me to look at things different. Smoothness and stuff like that. I think I was a bit ragged on the mod, but the move to stock was absolutely the right thing to do. Its so much easier to ride. And cousts are amazing pads!!! The bite and hold is miles better than any other pad I've had. Can't wait to get back to comps, should be September time I hope. Just not quite strong enough yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Booth Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 That's smart Mike, I need to pop some pictures of my house when I finish the kitchen. Been the worst 3 months of my life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadManMike Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 That's smart. Love your angry birds haha. Yeah they're a big part of my life haha Thank f**k for Ikea Bristol eh! And the Lack range in general. We went for Lack stuff in the lounge because we ran out of money elsewhere. Lack is easy to build as well, unlike some of the b*****d 3-box specials I've been building in the bedroom. f**k flat pack furniture. That's smart Mike, I need to pop some pictures of my house when I finish the kitchen. Been the worst 3 months of my life Luckily ours didn't need much other than unpacking and building flat packs, no actual building work as such... Still been a hectic two weeks though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greetings Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 (edited) Going to have an epic weekend on the 24th - we're going off to a place called Rallyland where the 4 of us will test each other's cars. The idea is that we'll all have 4-5 runs in each of the cars and try to set a PB, then compare it to times set by the owner and other drivers. So I'm donating the M3 and will be getting a ridiculously quick 318is with 150bhp, another 318is with 200bhp and a racing 328i. We've all agreed to put racing slicks on our cars with a nominal value. Perhaps I get the bad end of the deal but it doesn't matter, I want to drive the other cars to see how the hell it's possible that the 328i is almost as quick as my car, and the weaker 318is is only 1s per minute slower. This will answer the age old question - is it the driver or the car. At this level of competition it's not a question we can answer at the moment.
