Defensive Driving?
Jul. 22nd, 2010 03:46 pmA couple of weekends ago, I finally had my chance to be The Stig for a day, courtesy of a Christmas present from my everloving & long-suffering partner.
A day of sharp braking, slippery steering, slaloms & tyre squealing ensued. Although I pushed OBluV8 harder than I'd ever dared before, I was completely unable to make it slither & slide over the course... even with traction control off. This means either I'm a better driver than I give myself credit for, or OBluV8's a better car than previously suspected... & I already knew it's a good car.
Anyway, my various trials were filmed by the aforementioned long-sufferer & here's the last one of the day. It felt like I was travelling at a much faster rate than this video suggests, so I chose an appropriate soundtrack ~ one that can't fail to improve any footage it's attached to...
