There was this BMW driving super slow in front of me. As I pulled up to it, it sped off. I figured what the hell, and downshifted and passed it. This turn was ahead, and I always go around it fast when Im messing with my suspention,,,,figured i could handle it. I realized I was going a bit fast, so I tapped the break :gilloutine: Wont do that again. back end swung around, but I corrected it, and drove the few blocks to my garage like a grandma. I made a mistake by being a cocky ass driver, but I dusted the BMW, and learned a lesson. SAVE THIS TYPE OF DRIVING FOR THE AX TRACK :toilet:

The other day I was blasting through a cloverleaf- hard on the throttle, 3rd gear, tires squealling, about 10 feet from the concrete barrier- thought about Jenny- backed off. I've never spun in a 914 but I heard that they sometimes snap around without warning. That wouldn't have been a good spot to have that happen. Next time I want to push that hard I'll need to assess the run-off area better.

i too pulled a clover leaf booboo. I was along side a 911 sc and he took the inside lane and i took the outside lane. i held the line good but as i finished the turn, (ahead) i thought i was too wide! i tapped the break and the car reacted funky, spanked a 2 inch curb lip. No damage....just scared my passenger, and probably the driver of the SC who, prolly didnt even know he was racing!
