L.M. Newcomer Location: Melbourne Registered: January 2004	Re: Quick questions from a new member :) Thu, 08 January 2004 12:32 I didnt ask you for your opinions on my driving ability, and no amount of words can proove anyones driving ability either, however ive heard some things a few times too often and it begins to bug me as it ends up turning into a conversation i dont want to hear, like "I'd personally be buying a stock AE86 Sprinter, get to know the car and build up some experience driving by yourself before you hop straight into the rare Jap one" My old man showed me the ropes when I was 13, and i've spent many a time rolling the car quietly down the driveway if you know what I mean.. my first 12 months on my L's, even with my mother sitting next to me was nothing like a 'grandma' (as soon as i was 16, she made me drive like a lunatic in a $100,000 car, in a carpark to get to know how a car felt at, and past, the 'limit') Ive also been karting my whole life, and I drive very high performance cars regulary. Though I understand what you mean by 'learning the technical side' I have also been an apprentice mechanic at a very well known performance workshop before quitting for school commitments... getting to know the car in that fasion is inevitable for me and will just be a matter of time. I know it was a just a suggestion, but I hear similar things alot from people who dont know much about me, and i think i need to clear something up. "Buy a simple car to get your feet into", I've heard this way to many times. It makes me laugh. A trueno is, at best, a 140hp car. To me, this a complete and utter joke. think about it for crying out loud! I did my L's in everything from an SLK 230, 330Ci to a C32 AMG, to a (recent addition) 600hp supercharged E55 that you will be able to see at a calder park drag meet sometime very soon. Being a forum on the internet, most of you will probably dismiss what i've just said as bullshit, but youre free to think what you want to I dont tell you the price of eggs in china, and you didnt ask for it... so i'd apreaciate if you didnt tell me what car i should learn to drive in Thanks again for the replys [Report message to a moderator]
