The air bag went off. At least there wont be a recall on that one.

My apologies to all for double posting this (later thread titled 'Typical') - I missed this one completely.

Guy did not know how to drive- if you freeze frames you will see the steering wheels did not have 1 degree of correction on them- they were pointing straight ahead-
If you are going to go a big power slide - at least try to steer out- not just give up or not have a go

My first foray was in the bush on a wet dirt road with a roundabout, learning to spin the car round the roundabout- and boy did I spin out. I then progressed with my brother who was teaching me to uhhm drive, and I then practiced and experienced oversteer sliding at Monash Uni carparks on Sunday- they were gravel back in the day, and on Sundays nobody around and had wide areas to allow for stuff up spins at higher speed. Later when I had my own car, a Mk 2 GT Cortina with rally suspension, I progressed to much higher speed drifting and oversteer control, practising on remote dirt roads, and blasting around the AFL carpark and connector roads outside Garden City in Melbourne back in the day on a lazy sunday, nobody around, that AFL park had wide gravel roads and my brother and I drove and practiced on. Seems to me will be harder for young people to learn real car control in built up cities-you need gravel and wide tarmac roads without other road users to experiment trial and error and car physics and how when you end up going sideways everything appears to speeeed up....and you gotta react fast Total brain fade to try to learn this craft on a bend of a police station. But then again, who has not had a brain fade and done other stupid stuff when young...

But my first car I got was at 13 and cut loose in paddock's, one mates place was where a UFO once landed (so they say) and the grass never grew their so we used it as a donut pad, cutting loose that bad in the dust. we only knew where we were when the leaves of the trees started brushing up against the car. I will try to get down their one day and see if the place where the UFO landed grows anything their now, my mate that lives their is way to scared to go down their, not because of the UFO but of snakes. I don't remember myself ever doing burnouts on the roads, just for the hell of it. The cops in them days would kick your tail and hound ya for ever if you did play up disregarding the law and they had jails that looked like a big dunny back them days out in the sticks and them blankets that were the grey itchy type and not only that, their was a type of people who culture never washed so I am assured them blankets stunk like a pole cat, as people pointed these facts out to me. When I came to the big city, I seen people would confront police officers, that never happened in my small town or you would cop a fist in the face directly for such disobedience of the law. I know one dude just down the road, who makes claims that he would have a go at the cops, real bright what an idiot he will come out second best regardless I have said, some how he just does not believe me. |
