That reads like he overtook the tractor on a corner or approaching a bend.. is that what you intended to say?

No, it was on a straight, but then a GT starlet came round the bend and dad swerved to avoid hiting the starlet.

Still makes it sound like a bend/corner was involved there...

It's probably just that you keep saying another car came around the corner...

But could just be me.

He overtook tractor approaching a bend in the road and your blaming the car coming the other way?

Well sure you blamed the tyres.

I think its one of them ones you will just have to say look we got out of it and the car doesnt look to bad unless pillars are put in but everyone walked so very good turn out to a very horrific situation.

Question was the road wet or is there a lot of problems on that stretch could the road be made safer likes of hedges cleared back or maybe safety barrier.

Costs would mean roads wont be looked after or widened I understand that.

The road is very bad. There isnt potholes, but its rough. It had rained an hour before hand.

it was very cool. its just i dont have good pics damn phone camera! Ill wait for lads to post a few more.

As for day itself, it was really damn great. It was my first meet with lads and with anyone that i socialised were just spot on great lads! Almost everyone were out there with wifes/girlfriends and kids. So it was a great day for all family. Burgers were awesome too!

its a shame i was the only one from co. cork and in all this we had only 1 Legacy!!! :eek: damn, we even had 2 class foresters!

One scooby there was 700hp, ex HKS demo car from japan. Some mean looking thing and guess what? NO FLIPPING BENCH ON ITS ARSE!

CianRyan

700bhp?
Sure that's nothing without a spoiler.

Gary ITR

Mate of mine had his scooby on track today, some noise from.it and the anti lag is unreal

Lads, Volvo C30 was tuned by some company and this model was only available in a kind of baby blue colour. Does anyone know the name of the company? It's been annoying me all day long and google hasn't thrown out any results that click.

lazy-biker

coolisin

Yeah polestar was never put on sale.

MetzgerMeister

That's it!! Thanks lads!

yeah yeah... 4 door, auto, non turbo, all the wrong moves.

but i'm totally taken by it, for road presence, reliability and comfort i'd say its hard beaten. think of it as a japanese 7 series
