Cat-like reflexes !




Good brakes on BF-1, the girl who got the slingshot into my lane by a truck, into my path must agree,
coz she saw me decelerate at full braking capacity from 160 kph down to 30cm off her door.

Never seen that much mortal fear in a girl when looking at me

Yes. My finals finished Wednesday but I stayed to help him on Thursday since he offered $100 and he is a nice, smart guy that just missed most of the classes due to sickness. (though I never saw him sick?)

I don't quite understand what happened. You almost T-boned her car? So she pulled out in front of you at an intersection?

4 lanes of high way, dunno how , but she got clipped and turned around by a truck in the lane to the right of me..
And then she went off the truck, and got shoved into the left lane, awaiting my arrival..

I saw her hit the truck as i was already to the side of his trailor with my front wheels..
I was at speed and managed to get rid of that speed with about a foot to spare.
I'm talking split seconds here.. There was no time or room to spare.

I think formerly Renault now Lotus F1 is looking for a replacement for Kubica.

i'm to old for f1
and to fat.

i edited a bit, i think i saw the start of it before i was to the side of the trailor..
And slammed my brakes real fast after that.

hard to replay timing and position when so much happens at the same time.

But think of all the guns and ammo you could buy with that F1 money! You would have enough left over for an early 911RSR clone and a well setup 944!

Got the car towed this morn. They pulled it out with a wrecker and then came back with a flat-bed to take it to the shop.
Forgot to bring my camera this morn. but snapped these when he came back to get it. And of course the batterys went dead before i could get shots of where the car was in the woods.

With an F1 car as company car, i think an RSR would feel kinda sluggish
Guns and ammo +f1 , now that might be the ticket to making it exiting again!
