Just took my car for a hoon...

"officially" it was to hammer it to see if it will pass the emissions tomorrow, but really I wanted to thrash it about for a couple of hours

Was pretty amazing! haven't been out for a drive at all for about 3 weeks now - was amazing to be back in the driving seat!

I strongly recommend it to everyone

I fully agree with you, my weekend hoons are about the only thing thats keeping me sane at the moment.

I'm tinkering with H&T on braking for the roundabouts and perfecting my line through them. Holding the car on the limit round corners and balancing it on the throttle is great. The car pedal setup isn't really h&t friendly so I may need to replace the stock pedals with aftermarket ones. The feeling of nailing the braking point, dropping down a couple and nailing the line is excellent

edit: o/t Seems I am having a point of mine proven at the moment

A point of yours?

Bah haven't been out for a hoon for ages

I think Will was in the car last time I took it out loony style just before it broke down

Sophie's car just isn't any comparison. It's faster and the brakes are better and the handling is (technically from a safety perspective) better but OMG it's so dull and I HATE UNDERSTEER!!!
