Hi guys

Had a good time tonight.

First time doing Nebo in the dry in the new car - must say it is quite an experience and takes some getting used to. It's hard to really find the limit without scaring myself ****less....Car seems a lot more tail happy but very controllable even when you screw up a little and can feel the computers doing all the work when you enter a corner too fast.

Great job keeping up Daryl! The Aurion is not to be scoffed at, that's for sure. I would like to try it again in the daytime when visibility and hence confidence is higher.

See you soon

Dinner was great, I second SBs suggestion that we try to do it monthly. Better then standing out in the cold!

[chicaboo]

Sorry about the car, Lawrence, hope you get it fixed up real soon. Doesn't seem like that is that much damage to the car itself, hopefully you'll be running as good as new in no time!

Plz xpln!? :o

nothing too serious, just a little ding in the back lower sill and a busted wheel.

[Northy]

nothing too serious, just rolled a tyre off the rim, bit of damage to the rim and car as a result.

[chicaboo]

Damaged rim you say? Lucky I have a set of sexy 17" RS-GTs with good rubber sitting here incase he needs them. :P

No worries mate....I'm still getting used to how the car handles. Reckon next time I can push her harder! Learnt that if ASC is "half off" the car will not limit the throttle so

. The snap oversteering is certainly something new, when in the TRD all I had to worry about was understeer. Apparently it is the active yaw control doing that snapping motion to push the car into the apex of the turn and reduce understeer.

Have to bring it to a skidpan or some driver training day to learn how to control it properly.

I reckon next time when I actually have new tires and a few little tweaks, I'll still keep up with you :P

No one should EVER doubt the Aurion

Was a good change of scene and at a time I can make :D

Thanks to North for the ride last night too.

[Supercharged TRD]

I don't want to get into the "I'm faster than you" kind of debate which pushes people to go harder and harder, and usually ends up as a white cross on the side of the road....which is why I always concede defeat. :D Everyone drives to their own limit, as long as we all have fun and live to talk about it, it's all good......

Mmmm September QR....
