guy in the grey 75 looked to be having fun

[PETROLHEAD]

you would say that!

[AlfaCorseChris]

The 75 guy obviously doesnt care about the lap time much

Thats what I would do to :p ... or actually thats what I tried to do last year in my 75 and span off 2 times


I think at 2:30 the white Sprint is George's (GREEK).


There are at least 2 guys in Greece which are very well known for their Alfa racing.
On is Soteris Rokkos (Zemberlingkos) with the white/red GTAm replica - cost him a fortune
The other is Margaritis with the white 75 (Drift Wash) who uses a twin turbo 3 ltr 24valve engine

If i remember correctly Chris, your 33 lap was a similar shape!

[AlfaCorseChris]

Yeap !

Span twice on track days with my 33 as well
First time I handbraked into the apex and ended up in a field on the other side of the track

Second time i pirouetted on the tarmac, while I lost the back end on my effort to tackle 2 right turns in one line.
That time I was able to keep the car in the track, but I was going too fast (140khm) so my opposite locks werent fast enough and I ended up stalled and facing the wrong way

Oh well, live and learn mate, live and learn


...actually, on April 5th we are having our annual Alfa Romeo Track Day again, and I'm planning on taking my rear wheel drive racing Sprint ! Lets see if I can spin that one as well with the slicks at the back

[AlfaCorseChris]

... if you want you can all come and watch me humiliating myself Popcorn on the house !

[PETROLHEAD]

Ive told you how to cure this from happening Chris,

you don't need racier suspension, wider tyres, huge brakes etc etc









you need to see where you're going

Yeah well, fair enough, but at least I dont drive a pimped Merkel Van while wearing a pink wig and a bling bling

[PETROLHEAD]

Pimped Merkel Van? I kinda get it although its 99% french, but as for the Pink Wig and Bling Bling, Oh No, not these days.


when i'm out cruising, i wear nothing but a Brazilian!
