Well to be honest that track is soo narrow it really doesn't look like you have any room for error. And all that wet grass, Woh makes my asshole clinch up.

I would say the video is a perfect example of something to show at drivers school of "what NOT to do".
I was not making fun of anyone, or being cruel.

Ah fair enough if that's not how you meant it. Easy to take things the wrong way online that's all (and I wasn't the only one that thought it seemed harsh)

Oh and if anyone wants to see the repairs, this is probably the most interesting of the 4 videos of me fixing it up (more fixing and less talking in this one):

My guess is that his car was originally lava orange or a reddish colour. The paint in the engine bay never matches the outside, sometimes its a completely different shade.

Yeah it was originally orange, I had it wrapped but obviously they only do the exterior panels

Everytime your R8 was in the shot, I couldn't pay attention to anything you were saying. Too busy staring..

Haha that's fine, it's much more interesting than me anyway

Btw this is the kind of video I would expect to see under the title of How Not To Drive On Track. Can't believe people actually act like this:
