I know of at least two pensioners who have more driving talent individually than everyone in here put together. Don't care how good you are, these guys are better. I remember being passed on the outside of a LH bend on the A2 between Portrush and Portstewart by a pensioner. It's a 50 limit, part of the NW200 race curcuit and I was doing 70+. Said granny was driving an Alfa 75. SteveH on a sunday drive? Nope. She was old, grey haired with glasses. Than again, maybe it was SteveH. ;-) |

(track in my case) by someone who thinks they can drive, then straight
after get driven up the same track by someone who has driving talent and
you'll know what I mean.
The person who thinks they can drive will be concentrating very hard and
will throw you aboout the inside of the car. The person who can drive
will be moaning in an offhand manner about the price of red diesel these
days and will just get you to the top much faster.
