we've all done it mate, its how we learn.

we all do the "twat" thing at some stage, so long as no one was hurt is the main thing, learn from it for future man, and count your blessings!

You twat. lol

You learn by your mistakes

Next time you might not be so lucky

Street racing is not good.

Not saying Im an angel & dont do it

I do, but i know my limits.

Try to keep racing to the tracks , reasonable prices if you can get a group to go.

[glanza_gemz]

tut tut lol

Hate my car in the wet, fun sometimes lol

I don't know if it's just me but my n/a starlet i've found is unreal at corners! Haven't been beat in them yet, always stay on them in the corners for some reason but then they pull away on the straights.

[Raz]

shit dude, that was lucky lol i had a shit time in the rain too, it was a left turn was just too fast and it din't turn and braked and nothing happend, i was aquaplaning and went into bushed and verge which made me bounce of and come back to the road, surprsied that my car dint' have a scratch!

Learn't from mistake and allways slow down enough at bends :S

[PaulStarletSR]

i feel like a twat for doing it as i dont usually do stupid things because i know how crap these cars are in the corners

there only crap in the corners if u cant handle them!as someone sed above,I've neva been beatn in a corner yet!try gear braking and half way thru the corner put your foot down and the starlet will rocket thru no probs(unless your tyres r fucked)

happy motoring and i hope the fright u got makes u rememba that uv neva to b beatn by a fuckin french car eva again!lol

[Ace-K]

Heel toe ftw lets be honest, works everytime

[Sparky]

For some reason hell toin is alot easier in ep91's, just thought I would post that

But yea your a twat mate sell the starlet and buy a 106or something, jokes

[Raz]

no one could touch me round coreners, but after that incident i'm abit more cautios to say the least, there is a mondeo guy in aldershot who is actually my freind now because we kick all other cas hrs ase kicks my ass too its a 2.0 TDCI but its modded and lowered with bigger wheels etc so handles good too, he can't touch me round the corners in the dry, but in the rain he was out of sight for abit untill we got onto the straight

Who taught you to drive??? Thats the best way to induce oversteer and lack of traction, best thing to do is, DON'T DRIVE LIKE A FUCKING IDIOT!!!!

[Raz]

They handle nice, but scary lol

[Starlet__SR]

Oh they do, but its common knowledge, starlets, wet roads, big bend, do not go well together with high speed, christ, not to mention the light weight giving no ballast.

Damien

[Raz]

often i don't expect it to take the corner, but am relieved to come out the other side still facing forward and not backwards lol

[Starlet__SR]

Best thing to do is take it steady, save the silly driving for the dry weather

Damien

[ste91]

I wouldn't call yourself a twat, after all driving is just like anything else, it's a learning curve, everyone makes mistakes, and obviously you have learnt from your mistake. The only problem with cars is that often you're going too fast to recover it and "just a mistake" turns into injury/no car.

To me it's all about knowing the car. I'm not trying to sound patronising but if you'd have known the car's braking/cornering ability you would have known to slow down a bit earlier.

[Starlet__SR]

Again Steve, true learning comes from making mistakes, I wanted to see how fast my corsa went round a corner, needless to say it ended up on the roof lol

wel it works for me,I've neva crashed!if im approachin the corner fast,il brake a bit,shift down and attack the corner!and anyway,it wasnt me who crashed so back off!

[Starlet__SR]

Then i'd hate to be in a car with you my friend, best thing to do when approaching a corner too fast is to gentley apply the brakes, lay off the throttle and steer round, rather than panic and just slap all 4 anchors on. ut coming out with a silly approach like that will attract criticism.

Damien

[Sparky]

The way it sounded in your other post is that you brake halfway through the bend, by that time its almost always game over anyway

Keep it on the track people, especially this time of year conditions are really trick for the most experienced

[Starlet__SR]

Always do anyway, my daily commute is down a lovely B road, fucking brilliant in the summer, terrible now, would hate to think what it's gonna be like in winter

[Starlet__SR]

It might be worth having a good look round it though, don't just assume its fine, maybe take it to a garage and have them inspect it

Damien

[addz]

Do you like need approval to say that you are a twat.

If you know you've done something wrong then face the fact like an adult, don't go through childish procedures by telling the forum. I don't know what your quite looking for, a medal, attention. Who knows, but I hope you've found what you wanted to attain.

[Raz]

lol get it checked out at an mot station or something, they will often test it for free if they are kind enough
