Today was my Wakefield Park track day. I was there with a heap of HSV's. 2 LS2 Maloo utes, a VX SS with Alcons all round (6Pison on the front) and had a unichip and a bunch of other HSV's. What a bloody fantastic day. There was a guy there with a yellow Porsche GT3. I asked him if he could take me for a ride in it, so he did. Then we get out of the car and he says, "Do you want a drive mate?". I've met this guy 10 min ago and he's asking me if I want to drive his $225,000 Porsche GT3. So I said yes!! After stalling the car twice just taking off, we get going. Im taking it easy on the first lap and he tells me to get stuck into it on the 2nd lap, so I do. Well, coming back down the hill at Wakefield, the fast right hander, im into this thing hard, we'd be doing 120 easy, and OH , the **** end came out juuuust a little bit. Silly me not thinking, Porsche, rear-engine, I backed off, just a bit, as the **** slid out. Well, BIG MISTAKE IN A PORSCHE!!!!!!!! As quick as you can, "I could buy a house with this car" we are spinning off the track at a million miles an hour in a cloud of dust. My drivers window was open so and cabin filled with dirt and grass, then thump, bang, and we end up back on the track facing the wrong and a few hundred meters down the road from where we left the track. I looked at him and said, "Sorry mate, im so sorry". You have no idea how i felt. He says, "Thats ok, just turn round and we'll do some more laps if you like". I said, "nah mate, I think we'll go back to the pits".
![]() The thing just snapped so fast. But what a top bloke!!! He even said i could go back out in it later if i like. I didnt but. I've always wanted to spin a Porsche before my 22nd Birthday ![]() ![]() NOTE TO SELF: Sideways in Porsche, DONT BACK OFF!!!!! ![]() Here is a pic of the Porsche... ![]() But yeh, the XR6T was great round there. Brakes weren't bad but where better than at Oran Park. I was doing 1:17's at the end of the day but had a bloody great time coming onto the straight sideways ![]() The HSV boys were great and loved the XR6T too. I took one guy for a spin and he loved it. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()
