nah he's right enough, we all have a play on the road, but certainly it's rare nigh on never I do these days, old and wise lol.
and even when I did it was a play, too many people think they can prove themselves by just blindly flying around, the road is not the place for that, it's uncontrolled, the variables are unimaginable and it's not on at all. Everyone with a fast car will play at some point, the skill is knowing where your limit is, and knowing where the limit of the a play is (which is a smidgen of what you can get away with on a track) so stump up the £££ and put your car where your mouth is

I cannot be asked to argue with someone who hijacks a thread with all negative input calling people morons etc. just because he has some stress related trauma from his job does not mean he can go round ranting. im sure he can stick up for himself
Also, I never race, I just enjoy having a car thats unrestricted and as for the track, I dont love my car that much lol

as others have said, theres playing within the road and your own safety limits, anything else is just pure foolishness. |

The thing to remember fella, is that most people know just how capable the likes of the RS4/M3/5 etc are, where as yours ok it might not be in that league , but as you say its a sleeper and in its class a very capable one, and in my book thats what counts and 241 bhp at the wheels all be it the wrong ones ;-) aint to be sniffed at
